Fashion diva and newly redhead Rihanna is featured on the cover of April issue of Vogue.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz photographed the 23-year-old singer for the magazine’s 10th annual Shape Issue. Rihanna sported a beautiful Chanel gown that made her curves stand out.

In her Vogue layout, she is working beautiful dresses from Lavin and Chloe’. She nails it on the beach wearing a dramatic ruby red-hot swimsuit by Herve’ Leger.

The singer has an upcoming movie, her first feature film, Battleship.
“Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book," she says. "I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.”

Lakme Fashion Week to Go On

The big day came and quickly turned frantic as news of the massive earthquake followed by tsunami that hit Japan. A group of eight Japanese designers were scheduled to show their collection at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai on Day 1 of Lakme Fashion Week.

With chaos around them but knowing there families were safe back in Japan, these amazing designers took to the runway to show their Japanese culture to the world. Some 79 designers will showcase their collections at the LFW Summer/Resort 2010 running until 15 March.

Paris Fashion Week Top Four

Now that the big 4 fashion weeks, London, Milan, New York and Paris are over, we give you our top 4 picks from the Paris runway shows.


Alexander McQueen
McQueen’s dreamy collection lives on with the ever-talented Sarah Burton. Bold and structured silhouettes continue to be standard at the house of McQueen. This collection continues to be breath taking walking pieces of art and is enjoyed every season.





Valentino
Valentino, who we love, presented stunning feminine gowns in floor length lace and pretty pleated chiffon looks.




Chanel
Dark, smoky and elegant was Chanel theme for A/W’11. Lagerfield captured our attention with plenty of sheer hitting the black rock-lined catwalk. It was a dark and steamy affair from Chanel for A/W’11.



Louis Vuitton
The theme for Louis Vuitton’s show was a fantastic hotel lobby. We adored Kate Moss’ as she paraded down in the finale. Very tailored coats and ladylike dresses had fantastic catwalk appeal.

Access Denied at Paris Fashion Week

Well the larger than life rapper Kanye West is at it again. It's Paris Fashion Week and the rapper and fashion enthusiast had invites to Valentino and Givenchy. Other fashion houses were not as accommodating when West showed up unannounced.

West hit the Balmain show with his entourage (and no invite), well let's just say he didn't view the latest collection from Balmain. KCD, the organizers of the show told Page Six, "Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him. He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him." Yikes. West also crashed the Alexander McQueen show (uninvited) this time he managed to get through a side door. What people will do for fashion!

It literally gives you a world of fashion at your fingertips. Not just New York but London, Milan and Paris. Yes, view collections from all over the world on your iPad.
