Kicking off the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week festivities, Rihanna was spotted living it up in the Big Apple last night (September 10).

The "Take a Bow" songstress looked lovely as she arrived at Giuseppe Zanotti where fellow singer Katy Perry was scheduled to be making an appearance as well.

Ri-Ri donned an uber-trendy black minidress complete with a head covering teamed with a pair of black fringed-out ankle boots.

Prior to that, Rihanna was spotted at a Sienna Miller-hosted party at Intermix, hobnobbing with fellow guests and posing for the paparazzi.
