Now dating US baseball star Matt Kemp, Rihanna says she has now moved on and is happy again. ‘I feel like I smile for real this time. The smiles come from inside, and it exudes in everything I do.

‘People feel my energy is different. When I smile they can tell that it’s pure bliss and not just a cover up.’ The gorgeous photoshoot, in which Rihanna wears a dramatic Sonia Rykiel dress and Manolo Blahnik heels, appears in next months’ Marie Claire magazine.

The singer’s hair and make-up guru Karin Darnell says of her client’s trend-setting locks: ‘She’s been dying to go red for ages!’ ‘That’s why she’s such a style icon, because she’s constantly changing – a true chameleon.’

Good for her!
