Rihanna rocked an urban cool look for her performance at a London festival last night. The stunning singer was performing at the BBC Hackney Weekend and sported a casual yet sexy ensemble for the gig. Rihanna chose to take to the stage in a leopard print t-shirt, fishnet cycling shorts and black hot pants to dazzle the crowds.

The 24-year-old teamed the ensemble with an oversized leather jacket and a pair of extravagant black and gold sunglasses. Wearing her hair down and slightly tousled, Rihanna finished off her look with a slick of bright red lipstick and Egyptian inspired thick black eyeliner.

Rihanna and the crowd in Hackney, London, defied the rest of the UK's attention towards the football last night (June 24, 2012) by bringing to a close Bbc Radio 1's Hackney Weekend, with a cameo from Jay Z reciprocating the appearance she'd made the previous night during his own headlining set in the London borough.

Many were expected to give the event a miss last night, such is the national interest in football, with England meeting Italy in the European Championships quarter-final. However a dogged crowd stayed till the end and were rewarded with a hit-laden set that kicked off with 'Only Girl (In The World)' and included her performing her collaboration with Eminem, 'Love The Way You Lie,' solo. A live collaboration was forthcoming though, with Jay Z joining RiRi on stage for another rendition of their track 'Run This Town' - the song they'd performed together the previous evening - before performing 'Talk That Talk' and 'Umbrella' to a blown away audience. Rihanna finished her set with 'We Found Love'.
