Rihanna is one of the most beautiful women in the music industry. This, everyone knows. Yet much of what makes her so alluring is her brave willingness to forego conventional beauty for the sake of a style statement. While she shares this quality with several of her contemporaries (ahem, Gaga) and countless style icons before her, her daring has led to more imitators than are worth counting.

Rihanna switches up her signature style every few weeks, so it's unsurprising that she's chosen to experiment with yet another look in her upcoming music video for "Te Amo." Photographs from the France set a few weeks ago reveal that Rihanna has opted for a slightly softer look, as she dons a floral Mara Hoffman gown in one scene. But, sticking true her hard-edged roots, she's matched the gown with darker-than-dark lipstick, a partially jet black 'do and aggressive black boots.One thing's for sure: black lipstick is going to see a mini-revival this summer.
