Rihanna hits Stringfellows before stepping out on stage in a racy PVC number

Chart sensation Rihanna may have been in London for business - she's in the midst of a UK tour - but she certainly made time for pleasure too.

After cheering on the Spice Girls at the 02 Arena on Saturday night, the singer party hopped across town, with stops at Amika and Crystal nightclub - and the capital's most famous lap dancing hotspot, Stringfellows.

The 19-year-old knows a thing or two about setting pulses racing herself - she sizzled on stage the following night as she performed at the Wembley Arena in a skimpy black PVC outfit.

Her head-turning costumes were designed by Dolce and Gabbana, who are already well known for creating iconic tour looks for both Madonna and Kylie Minogue.

The design duo said: “She's a break-out talent with decades of success ahead of her and we wanted to be a part of that sensation.”

It's been a triumphant year for the performer - her single Umbrella has just become the longest-running British number one by a female artist since Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You.

Her platinum album Good Girl Gone Bad has also been nominated for six Grammy awards.

Rihanna, who was recently linked to actor Josh Hartnett, said her success has been overwhelming.

She has said: "I did a show in Belgrade. We were expecting 6,000 people and 24,000 showed up. And I couldn't understand why."

"I look at them and I still think, 'Why are you screaming for me?' I still think of myself as a normal girl."

She is set to perform in Brighton tonight, and will wrap her UK tour in Cardiff on Wednesday.
