    Rihanna missed her flight after partying at Jay-Z and Kayne West's Watch The Throne bash

    Rihanna jetted into London especially for Jay-Z and Kanye West's star-studded Watch The Throne bash, and partied so hard that she missed her flight home.

    While most of us might catch a cab to and from a party, when you're a mega superstar like Rihanna hopping on a transatlantic flight for a night is the norm.

    RIHANNA'S STYLE HIGHS & LOWS

    The singer jetted into the UK yesterday just in time to watch Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne show at London's O2 Arena before heading to the after party at the Dstrkt club in Soho.

    As one would expect, for the fortunate few who got through the doors, the bash was a no-expense-spared affair.

    'This was the hardest party to get in to,' a source told The Sun newspaper.

    'Only 150 people were invited and every guest had to carry an appropriate form of identity or they were not getting through the doors.
