In Rihanna's new music video for 'Rockstar 101', the singer sports some pretty fierce looks (and we apologize for using the word "fierce," but we had to). Specifically, the video attire consists of lots of body chains, armour styles, spikes and cuffs - all designed by London-based Swedish designer Fannie Shiavoni. Shiavoni's current fan base includes Lady Gaga and Yasmin Le Bon, and now, apparently, Rihanna.

The designer gave Grazia a bit of insight into the 'Rockstar' shoot: "I discussed ideas with Rihanna and her stylist Mariel Haenn the day before the shoot and then I went to my hotel in LA and made everything that night. The next day was the video shoot and I literally chained Rihanna into everything piece by piece. Working with Rihanna and her creative team was amazing...it's a dream come true to see my designs being worn by her in the new video. She rocks it well and looks incredible...I've also been working as the assistant to Rihanna's creative director, Simon Henwood, for her Russian Roulette tour."

The term 'real-human' conjures up images of a laid-back and down to earth individual and although there is nothing to say that Rihanna is anything but that behind closed doors, on the face of it, the achingly cool 22 year-old has upped the style stakes in recent months; so much so that she could soon be giving Lady Gaga a run for her money for the title of most fashion forward pop starlet.

Currently a permanent fixture on the front rows at Paris Fashion Week accompanied by her stylist Mariel Haenn, Rihanna has pulled out all the stops with her enviable wardrobe of theatrical, edgy and daring outfits including sexy cut out bandage dresses, over the knee boots teamed with an oversized blazer, though with no trousers or tights underneath, and high-neck mini dresses with sheer horizontal panelling.
