Rihanna swaps trendy street wear for shapeless silver dress for fashion show

Rihanna swaps trendy street wear for shapeless silver dress and stockings as she steps out at Fashion Week runway show

She usually impresses in her choice of casual but uber trendy streetwear.

And Sunday morning was no different for Rihanna who stepped out looking stylish in New York in a letterman jacket, denim shorts, trainers and sunglasses.

Unfortunately, her efforts to glam up later didn't go quite as well.

Fashion fail: Rihanna's look for the Opening Ceremony show wasn't quite up to her usual standards as she wore a frumpy tea dress with clumpy 'creeper' shoes in New York on Sunday

Flashing the flesh: Rihanna's ensemble seemed less demure when she sat down, showing off the tops of her stockings

The star stepped out in a rather ill-fitting silver dress, unwisely teamed with clumpy black shoes and spotted black stockings. 

An oversized black choker, and her new 'mullet-style' hairpiece completed the look as she arrived at the New York Fashion Week show for the Opening Ceremony clothing brand. 

The 25-year-old star's outfit looked a little less demure when she took her seat in the front row, with her dress riding up to reveal the tops of her stockings.

Bosom buddies: Rihanna and her friend Melissa Forde are inseparable, they do everything together and often wear the same clothes

Rihanna joined the likes of Justin Bieber, Miguel and Rashida Jones to see the collection, alongside her friend Melissa Forde. 

Rashida looked pretty in a sleeveless black  and pink patterned top teamed with a green, black and white patterned skirt, pink high heels and matching lipstick. 

Bieber, meanwhile, stuck to his tried and trusted casual style in a white T-shirt, gold chunky necklace and backwards baseball cap.

The pint-sized star rubbed shoulders with Opening Ceremony's design team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim after the show, which saw models stroll down a 'road' catwalk among carefully placed cars.

Miguel, meanwhile, opted for a more daring ensemble, sporting a white short with a heart pattern and what appeared to be denim shorts worn over trousers and boots. 

Street smarts: Rihanna showed off her toned legs in the short denim shorts during a shopping trip in Manhattan earlier that day 

Shop til I drop: The Umbrella singer carried a gold bag of goodies, while her assistant joined her also toting a shopping bag 

This was the second fashion-related event Rihanna has attended in so many days. 

On Saturday night, she arrived at Alexander Wang's after-party, showing off her new mullet hairdo in a self-proclaimed 'goth-ghetto' look. 

Her appearance sent the rumour mill into overdrive after she was led directly to rumoured new beau rappy A$AP Rocky, who was hanging out in the VIP section behind the stage with his entourage. 

A source told the New York Post: 'Rihanna went right to him. They were talking really close. Bodyguards were stationed all around them so that no one could get pictures.' 

Clashing patterns: Rashida Jones looked pretty in a sleeveless black top and floral skirt

According to further unconfirmed reports, Rihanna was spotted leaving A$AP Rocky’s hotel in Chelsea on Thursday morning. 

Rocky has reportedly been dating model Chanel Iman, who walked in the Cushnie et Ochs show at Fashion Week. 

The star may have had more of a vested interest in this year's fashion week as, for the first time, Adam Selman, Rihanna's costume designer debuted his first ready-to-wear label on Thursday night.

And Rihanna is not going to be in the city for long, so is sure to make the most of her time in The Big Apple. 

The Battleship actress is next scheduled to take her Diamonds World Tour to the Cotai Arena in Macau, China on September 13.

Rihanna also just reached four billion views on YouTube, making her the most viewed artist ever.
