When your world tour is called Diamonds, the wardrobe had better sparkle. Luckily, Rihanna had stylist Mel Ottenberg on hand to ensure that her looks do just that.
Featuring a total of—count ‘em—seven costumes, each of which was custom made by a megawatt designer (think Riccardo Tisci, Raf Simons, Alber Elbaz, and Adam Selman—Rihanna’s River Island collaborator), the pop star’s onstage wares boast everything from holographs to “orgy” embroidery (courtesy of Givenchy, naturally).
“The most amazing thing about Rihanna is what a chameleon she is,” said Ottenberg, who’s worked with Riri for two years.
“She’s always up for something new. She’s fearless, she knows what she likes, and it’s fun to see which ideas she’ll jump for.”

Last night was Rihanna’s first out of two shows in Toronto, Canada. She rocked the stage as always and there was no sign of the laryngitis that caused her to cancel two shows last week.
The lucky fan Nathan got a hug as well as a kiss from Rihanna, who cruised around in the audience. Check out a video of the very lucky fan, who actually has kissed her twice…
In related news, Toronto Sun reviewed the evening:
“And whenever a song might flag, Rihanna was the master of the sexy hair flip and undulating pelvic gyration – her own special effect – as she changed into one sexy outfit after the other ranging from a black T-shirt and thigh high white leather boots to a midriff exposing red top and matching long skirt.
Rihanna’s BFF, personal assistant and photographer Melissa Forde has taken some great photos during the Diamonds World Tour.
You can check out some behind the scenes pics as well as the on-stage-pics on her official tumblr mtfphotography.tumblr.com.
Melissa has taken single cover photos for Unapologetic, a few of Rihanna’s photo shoots as well as had photos featured in Vogue! Great job Mel!
Fasten your seatbelts, Rihanna fans.
Rihanna is set to take viewers on a whirlwind trip around the world when her one-hour concert documentary, Rihanna 777, airs May 6 (Fox, 8 p.m. ET/PT).
The tour traveled to seven countries in seven days with seven shows to promote her seventh album. Get it?
Beginning Nov. 14, 2012, the superstar visited Mexico City, Toronto, Stockholm, Paris, Berlin, London and New York to promote her albumUnapologetic.
The album made its debut at No.1 on Billboard‘s album chart, with single Diamonds reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the day after the 777 tour ended.
The special offers a behind-the-scenes look at the ambitious tour, from the sound of popping champagne corks during the flight to the singer’s worldwide appearances. The backstage chaos also will be covered. (At the time, complaints were reported about fatigue and hunger among the singer’s fellow passengers.)
