The pop star launched the Rihanna for River Island collection Saturday night at fashion week in London.

The runway show was a chance for the 24-year-old singer to show off her creative skills and style savvy. She had been drawing attention more recently for defending her renewed romance with Chris Brown, who beat her up four years ago.

And days ago, she tweeted a photo of a fistful of marijuana with the message, "Roses are green! Somebody knows how to make me happy."

But this weekend, she was focused on the big reveal of her fashion collection for the high street retailer.

"Denim tops teamed with slouchy jeans and monochrome dresses with thigh-high slits mirrored the Barbados-born singer's dressed-down but raunchy style," said Reuters of the show.

It's not the singer's first foray into fashion. Three years ago, she worked on a capsule collection for Giorgio Armani and was praised by the Italian designer, says the Guardian.
