Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty ignited the public at the Sporting in Monaco with a top performance keeping everybody on their feet, including HSHs Princess Charlene and Prince Albert as well as Andreas, Pierre and Charlotte Casiraghi accompanied by Gad Elmaleh.

At only 25 years old Rihanna is the biggest pop star in the world, she is a brand, even when her personal life stained somewhat the career of this beauty from Barbados. This is the superstar’s worldwide “Diamonds” tour supporting her seventh studio album “Unapologetic” covering all the five continents. It started back in March featuring stops in most of the top European cities and will continue in Asia, Oceania, South Africa, Middle East and will end up in November in North America, with shows added due to an overwhelming ticket demand totalling 96.

The one and a half hour show was fabulous with the glitz of video and flashing lights.  Her stage presence and vocals proved she certainly can deliver a top performance. She wore a little white sexy dress with high black boots, was smiling all the time, and her interplay with the dancers and band leader was superb! Rihanna once said “Music is my DNA” and it sounds just right.
