Stylish Rihanna sets the trends as Fashion Rocks the Big Apple

6 SEPTEMBER 2008
Making her mark was stylish Barbadian Rihanna. The beautiful Umbrella singer looked gorgeous in a black ruffled Monique Lhuiller frock at her arrival. She later donned a glitzy leotard to wow the audience with a showgirl performance. Black-Eyed Peas singer Fergie, meanwhile, went for boho chic with a Gucci outfit featuring an ethnic-inspired blouse.

Fellow songstress Beyonce donned several glamorous looks for her time in the spotlight. Performing with SexyBack star Justin Timberlake, the former Destiny's Child singer sparkled in a Jean-Paul Gaultier catsuit with plunging neckline. Then it was a change of look – with short blonde wig – with a classy Zuhair Murad cocktail dress, in this season's key mustard colour.

Not to be outdone, the stars of the silver screen were also showing their style credentials. Fresh from watching the catwalks was Charlize Theron, casually chic in tight fitting trousers matched with a silver blazer she had earlier seen on the Rag And Bone runway that day.

And Hilary Swank was lovely in lilac in a one-shouldered couture dress from Givenchy.
