We are used to seeing the pop Princess strutting her stuff on stage in impossibly tiny outfits or showcasing a provocative look for a night on the town.<\/p>\n

But Rihanna came over quite the lady as she attended a charity bash in New York last night.<\/p>\n

The What\u2019s My Name singer showed of an extremely demure and elegant look as she arrived at the DKMS fifth annual Linked Against Leukaemia gala.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Demure<\/p>\n

Demure darling: Rihanna showed off an extremely sophisticated look at the event held at Cipriani Wall Street where the singer was honoured for her efforts in fighting Leukaemia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rihanna opted for a two-tiered black ball-gown with lace panelling, frilled skirt and an elegant train as she demonstrated a subtle but chic style for the bash.<\/p>\n

And in keeping with the look she had her flame red hair styled into an elegant up do and opted for simple yet stunning makeup and only accessorised with a pair of drop earrings.<\/p>\n

\n

Elegant up do: Rihanna looked stunning with her flame red hair styled up on top of her head<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And it was just the Bajan singer who stepped out for the charity bash and a whole host of famous faces showed their support for the charity.<\/p>\n

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester opted for a chocolate brown one-shoulder rouched dress with gold satin shoes while Eva Mendes opted for a monochrome look in layered white with black trim and black accessories.<\/p>\n

N.E.R.D. frontman Pharrell Williams, who was looking extremely sharp in a well-cut tuxedo, took to the stage to introduce a leukaemia patient and a donor for an emotional meeting while Mary J. Blige treated guests to a performance.<\/p>\n

\n

Red carpet style: Leighton Meester opted for a chocolate brown satin number while actress Eva Mendes came over all monochrome in a layered midi dress<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Colour clashing: Model Iman clashed on the red carpet in a hot pint frock while Pharrell looked dapper in a well-cut black tuxedo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Model Iman clashed with the red carpet in a shocking pink chiffon dress with ruffled neckline while veteran singer Cyndi Lauper had chosen an edgier look in black leather with gold accessories.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And as the honoured lady of the evening Rihanna was in high demand as she mixed with fellow guests and caught up with friends.<\/p>\n

Rihanna was seen mixing with fashion designer Vera Wang and Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles and she was also seen being introduced to David Bowie by his wife Iman.<\/p>\n

\"Class<\/p>\n

Class Act: Guests at the charity gala were treated to a performance by Mary J Blige<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a recent interview with Top of the Pops magazine, the Barbadian singer admitted that she loves lazing around on her days off.<\/p>\n

‘When I have a day off, I usually just laze around for as long as possible,’ she told the publication.<\/p>\n

\"Nice<\/p>\n

Nice to meet you: David Bowie looked pleased to meet the singer while his wife Iman placed a protective hand around Rihanna’s back<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘I watch TV in bed, blast music out really loudly, or maybe go shopping. But recently when I’ve had time off, I haven’t been shopping at all. I’ve just stayed at home watching TV.’<\/p>\n

She also admitted to getting homesick from time to time, confessing: ‘I really miss being away from home.<\/p>\n

‘What I miss most is my family, the food, some of the music and definitely the weather – sunshine makes me happy!<\/p>\n

‘Barbados has a different culture and I miss being part of it, having it as my everyday life.’<\/p>\n
