Give the girl credit for trying an outfit with a touch of traditional femininity once in a blue moon.
But
twenty four hours after Rihanna was pictured at New York Fashion Week
in an uncharacteristically demure dress, she had reverted to her
experimental fashion type.
And
the Umbrella singer looked much more at home in a pair of oversized,
black leather dungarees - even ones that seem to give more than a small
nod to fishermen waders.
Odd attire: But Rihanna prefers to push the boundaries of fashion
She teamed the overalls with a black Nike hooded sweater and lace up ankle boots.
The
25-year-old Barbadian carried a grey bag over her left shoulder and
kept her eyes concealed, despite the darkness, in shades.
Yet
she seemed in good spirits as she left the Gansevoort Hotel in
Manhattan's Meatpacking District, stopping to sign autographs for fans
waiting outside.
She headed for JFK airport to catch a flight out of the city.
Taking it in her stride: Going through security in those laced up boots can't be much fun

Rihanna was in town for the city's
Fashion Week where her costume designer Adam Selman made a provocative
catwalk show debut last Thursday.
Adam also lent his expertise to the star's inaugural River Island collection.
Speaking to MailOnline about his show, which featured heavy on the lingerie, he referenced his famous client.
'Rihanna is definitely a muse for me, it’s no secret, but I didn’t necessarily think of her when I was designing this,' he said.

Meanwhile Rihanna's second limited edition collection for the high street chain has launched exclusively online.
The pieces inspired by urban street wear will appear in selected stores this week.
'I literally designed everything I want to wear — exactly how I want to wear it,' she said in a promotional video.
