Rihanna dons a beanie and colours her hair as her Diamonds World Tour takes her away from the capital

It has been quite the week for music queen Rihanna.
After arriving in London last Friday the 25-year-old S.O.S singer is finally moving on to her next destination as the Diamonds World Tour rolls out of the capital.
With her mum and dad in tow, the Barbadian beauty bid the city a fond farewell before boarding her private jet to go to Sunderland where her next live date takes place on Thursday.

And continuing her never-seen-in-the-same-outfit-twice routine, Riri was dressed in a funky new outfit for her commute up north.
The Good Girl Gone Bad star wore an oversized jumper that acted somewhat as a dress, tight black leather-effect leggins, and sexy tied up boots.
She also demonstrated freshly dyed hair, giving her worn out hair a new lease of life as it shone in a brighter ginger hue.

However she did have her hair semi-hidden under a beanie with a scarf tied within it - and she accessorized her look with a number of bracelets and a thick gold chain around her neck.
She stepped out of the Park Lane hotel to a group of enthusiastic fans who cheered and applauded as she went.
Fully used to her waiting public, Riri waved to them with a slightly sleepy look in her eyes.

The star was closely followed by her mother, Monica, who looked great in a sleeveless black and white floral patterned dress - and with a bit of superstar style as she wore large sunglasses.
Rihanna's dad, Ronald, was also there; wearing jeans and a Ralph Lauren polo and appeared to strike up a conversation with one of the waiting paparazzi.
The family will be travelling together to Sunderland where the singer will storm the stage at the Stadium of Light on the 48th stint of her 94 date tour.

Rihanna had quite the week in the UK Capital as a number of events unfolded while she was in the capital.
News broke that her friend and rumoured on-off lover Drake had voiced his opinion about Riri and Chris Brown's failed relationships in the US edition of GQ - no doubt causing memories of her ex to resurface.
Indeed while Rihanna was sharing her fun with social media fans of her time in the UK, Chris was also flaunting his apparently reignited relationship with Karrueche Tran.

This week also found a potential stalker arrested in Los Angeles after a man was found creeping around the roof of her Californian roof.

She was dogged with controversy this week as well as YouTube footage showed her allegedly smacking an audience member in Birmingham's Monday night gig with her microphone.
And while fans in Wales were thrilled last week when her first Diamonds UK show started bang on time in Cardiff, other fans were left Upset with up to two hour waits for her to get up there.

But it hasn't been all woes and bad press for the star as she has also let off a lot of steam.
She has partied with Cara Delevingne on numerous occasions - including rocking up to Boujis to support her brother's own music efforts - and going out on benders until 5am.
She has also thrilled onlookers with a daily fashion show as she's showcased her endless wardrobe - from casual-chic dungarees to quirky rain bonnet to novelty print jumpers and t-shirts.

After her Sunderland gig, Rihanna will then head to Ireland before her tour takes her across Europe.
Clearly a big fan of London, however, Rihanna took to her Twitter and Instagram accounts to share her sadness that she was leaving.
'#LONDON it was real az phuck!!' she said, revealing a picture of her various pieces of jewellery as she departed.

An earlier picture showed her showing off her newest piece of headgear with a colourfully worded caption.
But before she boarded her private jet she also posted a picture with just the word 'Bye' as the caption, showing her with the airplane's captain.
Another high point of her trip is that her Stadium of Light performance puts her in the record books.

Bling: The singer showed off her jewellery for fans on her Instagram feed

'Today Rihanna is performing at Stadium of Light in Sunderland, England. She is the youngest & first black musician to headline the stadium!' a fan said on Twitter - which the star Re-Tweeted to her 30 million followers.
Clearly chuffed with this statement, Rihanna then coined a new phrased as she said '#HistoRIH'.
While it is unclear exactly when Rihanna will next be in London, she will be back in the UK on the 13th July to perform at T in The Park in Scotland before playing more dates in Manchester and Birmingham.
