She usually impresses in her choice of casual but uber trendy streetwear.

And Sunday morning was no different for Rihanna who stepped out looking stylish in New York in a letterman jacket, denim shorts, trainers and sunglasses.

Unfortunately, her efforts to glam up later didn't go quite as well.

Casual class to dressed up faux pas: Rihanna looked trendy in her letterman jacket, cropped denim shorts and trainers earlier in New York on Sunday before looking a little frumpy at the opening ceremony of New York Fashion Week

The star stepped out in a rather ill-fitting silver dress, unwisely teamed with clumpy black shoes and spotted black stockings.

An oversized black choker, and her new 'mullet-style' hairpiece completed the look as she arrived at the New York Fashion Week show for the Opening Ceremony clothing brand.

The 25-year-old star's outfit looked a little less demure when she took her seat in the front row, with her dress riding up to reveal the tops of her stockings.

Rihanna joined the likes of Justin Bieber, Miguel and Rashida Jones to see the collection, alongside her friend Melissa Forde.

Rashida looked pretty in a sleeveless black and pink patterned top teamed with a green, black and white patterned skirt, pink high heels and matching lipstick.

Bieber, meanwhile, stuck to his tried and trusted casual style in a white T-shirt, gold chunky necklace and backwards baseball cap.

The pint-sized star rubbed shoulders with Opening Ceremony's design team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim after the show, which saw models stroll down a 'road' catwalk among carefully placed cars.

Miguel, meanwhile, opted for a more daring ensemble, sporting a white short with a heart pattern and what appeared to be denim shorts worn over trousers and boots.

This was the second fashion-related event Rihanna has attended in so many days.

On Saturday night, she arrived at Alexander Wang's after-party, showing off her new mullet hairdo in a self-proclaimed 'goth-ghetto' look.

The star may have had more of a vested interest in this year's fashion week as, for the first time, Adam Selman, Rihanna's a costume designer debuted his first ready-to-wear label on Thursday night

And Rihanna is not going to be in the city for long, so is sure to make the most of her time in The Big Apple.

The Battleship actress is next scheduled to take her Diamonds World Tour to the Cotai Arena in Macau, China on September 13.

Rihanna also just reached four billion views on YouTube, making her the most viewed artist ever.

I think she is going for a gothic kind of look which she has failed miserably at pulling it off.

Rihanna's not daft. That dress is horrific, and that photo of her standing with her legs apart while stretching it out across her hips tells me that's exactly why she wore it. She's still the same Rihanna no matter what she has on, hence the stockings.
