The Diamonds singer glittered in a racy sheer embellished halter dress to show off every inch of her slim figure. The naughty outfit – custom made by designer Adam Selman and comprised of a total of 216,000 Swarovski crystals – left nothing to the imagination as Rihanna took a star turn on the carpet in her backless dress.
She wore just a flesh coloured thong under her see-through dress, but no bra, and her breasts were clearly visible. So too were her collection of tattoos including the large inking on her ribcage just underneath her chest. Rihanna’s sole attempt at covering up was clutching a fur wrap as she primped and posed for photographers.
She wore a matching sparkly turban, which left the emphasis on her beautiful face. Smokey eyes and minimal make-up completed her eye-catching look. Rihanna, undisputed fashion star of the moment, was no doubt the big draw at the CFDA awards, which also honours the year’s top designers. The singer and pop culture star was on hand to receive the group’s 2014 Fashion Icon Award and made sure that no one will forget her star turn on the carpet.
Previous honourees have been Lady Gaga, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman and Johnny Depp. The annual show draws a mix of fashion insiders and Hollywood but Rihanna ensured she was the star of the show Speaking of the singer before the ceremony, designer Zac Posen called the pop star a fashion risk-taker, who skillfully melds red-carpet glamour with a rebellious streak.

‘She takes risks and she marches to her own drum and she knows what she likes,’ Posen told The Associated Press in an interview. ‘It’s been an incredible journey.’ He recalled meeting the singer at his studio before she launched her first album.
‘She was a fashion world novice then,’ he said, ‘but obviously she had looks and confidence and little-girl charm. ‘All the ingredients were there for her to be a huge superstar: ambition, strength, and also vulnerability.’
