    Rihanna looked incredible as she took to the stage at Victoria’s Secret fashion show

    Step aside Victoria’s Secret Angels, Rihanna is taking to the stage and she may well steal your wings (and halos)! Last night the superstar stunned as she took to the stage for the lingerie giant’s show in New York in an array of looks that proved when it comes to sexiness she’s still the queen.

    As the likes of Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima took to the catwalk, Rihanna oozed confidence, charisma and of course complete beauty. The singer entertained the crowd with her vocals while paying tribute to the brand’s collection wearing black stockings and flashing her underwear thanks to a waist-high split.

    This look was one of four, and featured high-octane glamour with lace gloves and a pearl chocker, although there was plenty of sexiness with a strapless cut while there were also strong hints at Rihanna’s colourful persona with circular pearl-framed shades and lace up ankle boots.

    Rihanna continued her reign over the catwalk, making like one of the Victoria’s Secret models in a pink lingerie set carefully covered up with a matching lace piece. She added some retro chic to the look with a 40s inspired wavy hair do as she interacted with the models, stroking them, holding hands and playing up to the crowds.

    Monochrome was the colour palette of choice as Rihanna made her entrance to the event in a white pencil skirt with a silk crop top, although she quickly slipped into something more ‘comfortable’ as a backstage shot showed the star in a baby pink corset complete with matching coat.

    To go alongside these images, Rihanna compiled her own collection on her Twitter page, sharing backstage snaps of her with the models. In one she celebrated her new role saying: ‘I'm a #VS girl now lol’

    Well she certainly is gorgeous enough to be!
