It is known for being a city full of fashion lovers and cutting edge design.
And on Wednesday Rihanna decided to embrace Paris fully, wearing an eye-catching and fashion forward ensemble.
The
26-year-old, who is in French capital to present her new fragrance,
covered up her famous body in the cargo trouser and top combo.
Oh la la: Rihanna was seen in Paris as she
presented her new fragrance Rogue at Sephora' store on Champs-ElysÈes
avenue on Wednesday
The singer’s top had an almost bandage effect to it and featured chain detail, which revealed glimpses of her skin beneath.
While
it was very tight on her body, she opted for loose fitting grey cargo
trousers – perhaps a new take on Kanye West’s leather joggers.
Rihanna
completed her look wearing her hair loose around her shoulder in gentle
waves and she kept her make-up on the natural side – creating a dewy
feel.
Wrapped up: The singer wore a top which was wrapped around her neck and featured chain detail
Centre stage: The singer grinned as she made her way towards the store to promote Rogue
The star
looked in good spirits as she made her way to the Sephora store on the
Champs-Élysées avenue to present her new poster Rogue.
The
fragrance hit headlines this week as the poster for it has been
restricted to areas where children are unlikely to see it because of its
‘sexually suggestive’ image of the pop star.
The
poster featured an image of the singer sitting on the floor with her
head and shoulders leaning against a wall and her legs raised against a
large bottle of perfume.
It won't rain on her parade: Rihanna held an umbrella over her head to prevent herself from getting wet
Proud: The star looked excited to be presenting her new fragrance
Natural: While her outfit was certainly eye-catching her make-up was kept very natural
One
person complained that the ad was offensive because it was overly sexual
and demeaning to women and featured a ‘sexualised and provocative’
image which was inappropriate for children to see.
Parlux
Fragrances said they had received no other complaints, adding that
Rihanna was known for her provocative songs and persona, which the ad
sought to capture without featuring improper nudity or offensive,
suggestive or demeaning imagery.
The
company believed the majority of women would not consider the portrayal
of Rihanna to be demeaning, but rather she was depicted as being in a
position of power, as indicated by the name Rogue, which suggested ‘one
with the courage to challenge boundaries’.
High spirits: Rihanna giggled away as she walked through the rain
Out in force: The star was met by hundreds of very excited fans who were eager to take her picture
A bite to eat: Rihanna stopped off at a pizza restaurant after doing some work
Quick dash: Rihanna jumped for her car and made a quick dash to the pizza joint
Protection: As she left the store she was surrounded by security
The
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) noted that the image showed
Rihanna mainly covered, and she was depicted looking directly at the
viewer with a facial expression ‘of defiance rather than vulnerability’.
It
said the overall impression of the singer was one of confidence, and
concluded that the ad was ‘unlikely to be demeaning to women or to cause
serious or widespread offence’.
However
it noted that the ad was not given a placement restriction and had
appeared in a number of places where it was likely to be seen by
children. It ruled that the ad must not appear again without a placement
restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.
Unsuitable: The restricted advert features an
image Rihanna sitting on the floor with her head and shoulders leaning
against a wall and her legs raised against a large bottle of perfume
