Now no one can accuse Rihanna of being predictable. The singer-actress went all fairy princess on us to walk the red carpet at the Time 100 gala in New York last night, in a beautiful fuchsia pink prom dress.
No leather, no studs, no denim, no plunging neckline, no thigh-high split, no crazy tights; just a gorgeously girlie Marchesa dress and simple black court shoes.

And doesn't she look great for it?

A deep berry lip, glossy curled locks and some serious Wilfredo Rosado bling provided the finishing touches.
More of this please Rihanna.
The annual gala honours Time's 100 most influential people in the world, and RiRi was one such honouree this year.
The 24-year-old also performed at the New York event, and was joined by her mother Monica Fenty and grandfather Lionel Brathwaite. Ahh.
