    Rihanna has stayed true to her colour chameleon roots as she steps out with a new ‘do

    Rihanna never stays faithful to one hairstyle and why should she? With a face as flawless as hers she can literally pull any look off and she proves that once again as her latest 'do is a platinum blonde bob.

    SEE RIHANNA FOR RIVER ISLAND HIGH SUMMER COLLECTION

    The superstar singer was seen sporting a bright new look in New York as she left a photo shoot in the city. Rihanna is thought to be wearing a short blonde wig featuring choppy layers for a textured finish along with a slightly messy fringe.

    Along with her new bright blonde hair, Rihanna wore a deep red shade on her lips teamed with heavy kohl framing her eyes. She wore a denim shirt over wet-look trousers pulling the look together with a pillar-box red clutch.

    She followed this up with: ‘And that’s a wrap on another #MAC shoot!! 2 in 1 day!! Thats my damn team!!![sic]’
