Rihanna has quickly become a major trendsetter, and now she’s using her icon status for good! The singer turned up to H&M yesterday to help launch the H&M Fashion Against AIDs collection, including a T-shirt she designed. The singer tells PEOPLE that she got involved because “I felt like young people need someone who they can look up to and relate to, and I felt that if I’m going to have such an impact on people I need to make it positive.” And as for her choice of slogan on the T-shirt? The singer explains, “Believe is the name of my charity. Believe and Youth Aids, they both cater to young people and educate them and empower them, so I thought I’d put that name on my shirt.” As for her style, she tells us that she definitely loves her collection of necklaces best — “I will give my shoes to my friends, but I always keep my jewelry” — and looks to Sienna Miller as a fashion inspiration — “I think her style is very street, very New York and kind of 80s. I love it. Everything she wears looks good to me.” Well, we’d say the same thing about Rihanna! For more information on the campaign and how to purchase Rihanna’s t-shirts or others designed by Timbaland, Good Charlotte and more, click here.

NYC Fashion week starts today, and some of Hollywood’s most notable fashionistas won’t just be watching the shows, they’ll be modeling in them too — and it’s all for a good cause. Celebs like Heidi Klum plan to help out The Heart Truth, a charity that increases awareness about women’s heart disease, by strutting the catwalk during the Diet Coke-sponsored Red Dress Collection runway show at Bryant Park. The annual charity runway show features one-of-a-kind dresses created by more than 20 of America’s top designers and modeled by some of your favorite stars, including Klum, Jenna Fischer, Emma Roberts and Leighton Meester. And if you can’t get to the show, you can always buy the Be True to Your Heart lip palette, $40, created by Red Dress donor Bobbi Brown. Click here to watch highlights from the runway show!
