When it came to accessorizing her newly platinum do for Sunday’s Grammy Awards, the always-edgy Rihanna went for some depth at the root, plunging Armani — and seriously pricey digits!

Sporting Red Carpet Manicure’s “Amor 24,” a 24-karat gold polish that retails for a whopping $5,000, the performer also added tiny dollar signs to her pinky fingers.

Brand reps tell us that upon spotting the gilded lacquer, Rihanna promised to “guard it with her life.”

Additional limited edition bottles of “Amor 24″ will be auctioned off for charity, but a more affordable version, “Award Winning,” will be available this spring on RedCarpetManicure.com for $9.99.

Hot Stuff: Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow Cut Fine Figures at the Grammys

Chris Martin is a lucky man! The Coldplay rocker’s leading ladies — collaborator Rihanna and wife Gwyneth Paltrow — paused for a hot shot Sunday night while backstage at the Grammy Awards, showing off their slim figures and similar, slinky gowns. Rihanna worked the room in custom Giorgio Armani (she’s currently a face of the designer’s denim and underwear lines), while Paltrow wowed in a long black number with a solid gold belt.

We all know Rihanna can Talk That Talk, but who knew she was a Gossip Girl too?

When the singer debuted a sneak peek at her new platinum do (which she’ll sport on an upcoming cover of ELLE), we couldn’t help but think of another towheaded trouble maker: Taylor Momsen.

With that chunky fringe and stained pout (not to mention that major ‘tude!), Rihanna is the spitting image of a good Upper East Sider gone bad.

Looks like Rihanna is inking more than her knuckles these days!

PEOPLE has confirmed that the singer has signed on to executive produce a new fashion series for the U.K.’s Sky Living channel, airing this summer.

“Synonymous with cutting-edge style, [Rihanna] is searching Britain for the next generation of raw, undiscovered designer talent,” the network says on its official website. “The show will recognize the increasing influence pop stars have on mainstream trends.”

Alongside Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts (whom RiRi reportedly hand selected for the role), the show will challenge contestants to create looks for a series of famous faces. In fact, final task involves designing a one-of-a-kind outfit for Rihanna to wear during a summer 2012 performance in London’s Hyde Park.

“I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career,” Rihanna says in the release. “I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show.”

Modest? Not so much. Rihanna is proudly flaunting all of her assets in her newest round of ads for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans.

The singer — originally tapped as the face of the fall/winter 2011-12 campaign and just announced as the returning face for spring/summer 2012 — strips down to a lacy bra and panty set and a perfect pair of jeans in her latest photos. Past ads have been equally as steamy, with the singer pulling a quick change in the backseat of a car. She recently designed some items for the brand, too, including T-shirts, jeans and a leather jacket.

While 2011 was the year of Blake for Chanel, Rihanna for Armani and Demi for Ann Taylor, many retailers are introducing lesser-known faces for spring 2012 campaigns.

WWD recently confirmed the appointment of Alice Dellal as the face of Chanel’s Boy collection. Best known for her half-shaved head and punk rock band, the British model is noticeably edgier than Lively, who fronted the collection’s Mademoiselle handbag range. “Alice Dellal represents the perfect incarnation of all that is unique about the Boy Chanel handbag collection, which strives [to be] far from conformist notions of femininity,” brand reps told the trade publication.

New mom Jessica Alba put her post-baby body on display in a bandeau in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, taking to the sand in several bright bikinis over the course of her vacation.
