She is known for her bold and quirky sense of style.
And Rihanna certainly stole the show at the Fashion Awards on Monday with her blue fluffy look, which fans were quick to compare to the Cookie Monster.
She commanded attention in a plunging black Christian Lacroix FW02 Couture dress, putting her ample cleavage front and centre.
And in her typical dramatic style, the singer, 36, donned a bright blue faux fur coat over the top, draped across her shoulders and a matching huge furry hat as she arrived at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday evening.
Fans pointed out the resemble Rihanna’s coat and hat had to the Cookie Monster, with one penning on X: ‘Is Rihanna being attacked by the cookie monster?’;
‘Rihanna dressed up as the cookie monster’; ‘Rihanna just crashed The Fashion Awards in Cookie Monster couture’; ‘she kinda slayed’

The superstar was joined at her table by her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, as well as former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, tennis star Maria Sharapova and Moncler CEO Remo Ruffini.
Rihanna beamed as she posed alongside a dapper Edward, who sported a classic black tuxedo and bowtie, and Maria who looked the picture of chic in a cream co-ord.
While boyfriend A$AP looked stylish in a navy suit and red tie as he prepared to take to the stage to be honoured as a Cultural Innovator at the awards, after being part of many high profile campaigns this year as well as making his Paris Fashion Week debut.
The couple’s outing comes shortly after they sparked engagement speculation when Rihanna was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger during a night out on the town in Beverly Hills last month.
The eye-catching bling immediately sent the rumour mill swirling that it was an engagement ring from her A$AP — with whom she shares two children.
The couple — who tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight but went public with their romance in late 2019 — are parents to two young sons — two-year-old RZA and 15-month-old Riot Rose.
