Ri-Ri was surrounded by explosions of light as she stepped her performance up a notch
Rihanna proved she can just as easily do delicate and demure as she took to the stage at The X Factor final on Sunday night.
Performing a stripped back version of her latest track, Stay, the 24-year-old singer proved that she certainly has the X Factor with a flawless rendition.
The star made sure to show off her fashion credentials in a chic Alexander Wang ensemble, consisting off a white cutout detail halterneck top and matching high-waisted skirt.
A far cry from her usual eye-popping numbers, Rihanna teamed her outfit with white T-bar sandals and a somewhat bizarre strap around her calves.
The Bajan beauty had ditched the flowing locks she has been sporting of late, reverting her chic and stylish cropped ‘do.
Striking bronze make-up, dazzling diamond earrings and dramatic silver jewellery completed the singer’s X Factor look.
Although the audience initially seemed a little perplexed by Rihanna’s toned-down, stripped-back performance, it wasn’t long until she got the crowd pumping with her up-tempo chart-topper, We Found Love.
