Rihanna sure knows how to Work it. 

The star sought inspiration from Eighties power dressing at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.

The 28-year-old turned a suit jacket with bold shoulders into a red carpet look at the Sunday night extravaganza.

Rihanna wore her short dark brunette locks loose with waves, parting her fringe down the center.

The Barbados-born beauty rocked shimmery brown eye makeup, neutral lip gloss and peach hued blush on her cheeks.

The dark haired beauty announced her performance last week, which is set to take place almost 10 years after her song S.O.S. hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
