She changes her hairstyle about as often as some of us change shoes - and Rihanna was showing off yet another new do at the weekend.
The 23-year-old star was seen leaving the rather inappropriately named Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica with the new crop, although it's not clear whether it's the singer's own hair or a very convincing wig.
Just days ago, the What's My Name star was spotted sporting cascading curls - but still in her signature bright red.

Red hot: Rihanna was showing off her pixie crop after leaving Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant in Santa Monica

She debuted her new short do last week at the Academy Of Country Music Awards, but is now wearing it more spiky compared to the Beatles-style moptop cut of the weekend before.

Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi meanwhile is something of a celebrity favourite, with highly-praised dishes including pumpkin ravioli in a white truffle sauce and Dover sole with lemon and herb sauce.
The star was looking stylish in a tight white dress, cork-effect Louboutins, snakeskin handbag and a Burberry Prorsum leather and mesh jacket.

However, the star ran into problems later that night when she went clubbing after dinner and moaned on her Twitter: 'Thanks to my bffs I'm leavin the club in a brand new white dress, accessorized with red wine stains!!!! Don't u HATE that???'
When someone asked whether she was sure the stains were courtesy of her drinking partners, she retorted: 'I was drinkin vodka soda- go figure'.
Meanwhile, the Bajan beauty has confirmed that Britney Spears will appear on a remix of Rihanna's track S&M - and says the results are 'sexy'.
Rihanna tweeted: "I got a #SEXY collabo comin your way supa dupa soon!!!! OH YEAH!!! By popular demand... Its BRITNEY BITCH!!!! (sic)"
