Style.com’s 10th Anniversary T-shirts

At Madison Avenue Park

Who is this new purple persona?

Yes, we’re talking about Rihanna, who has unleashed her violet vampness for Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010 at Gareth Pugh’s very grey, very greyt show. This looks like the job for MAC’s Glimmerglass in Blackfire- a superb gloss with sheer black and purple hues.

She was spotted again in the front row of Balmain’s Spring 2010 show looking Lavande-Garde!
