Rihanna Looked Like Fashion Royalty In a Satin Mini Dress at the British Fashion Awards

Rihanna doesn't do award red carpets often, but tonight in London, she gave the British Fashion Awards the gift of her presence.

Rihanna put thought into the models and performers she chose, she said. With the performers specifically, which included Normani and Halsey, she explained, "I wanted to highlight women who are powerful. To me, power in whatever way you master it is very sexy. And with someone like Normani, you know, she's an incredible dancer, and dance is athleticism. Dance is powerful. It would be a shame to miss out on the opportunity to have that kind of beauty and power in the show."
