Is it hot in here … or is it just Rihanna? The singer’s sultry ad for Emporio Armani Underwear was voted sexiest of the year in a poll of advertising industry executives in trade magazine AdAge, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reports.

“It’s Rihanna at her sexiest,” the magazine writes. “She’s never looked this good. She’s in amazing shape and the pictures are stunning.”

The star, named the face of the brand’s Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear campaigns in July, was the focus of multiple print and video spots, and is currently designing a capsule collection of her own for Armani.

Rihanna Confesses: I Like Being Blonde!

In newly released footage from Armani’s lingerie and jeans fall 2011 video shoot, Rihanna somehow manages to make rehearsal look risqué.

Blocking the dimly lit scene in teetering heels, the star talks newly lightened locks: “We did a whole transformation,” she says in her trademark Bajan lilt. “So now I’m a blonde and not redhead anymore — and I like it!”

Watch as Rihanna gets her makeup done, listens intently to direction and practices wriggling into — and out of! — those skintight jeans.

Check Out Rihanna’s Capsule Collection for Armani Jeans and Underwear

Good girl gone … designer? Rihanna is parlaying her gig as the face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans into an even bigger job, creating a capsule collection for the brand. The singer designed jeans, T-shirts, accessories and more that will appear in select Macy’s and Bloomingdales locations and on Armani.com in mid-December.

Her Armani Jeans collection includes two T-shirts, two pairs of jeans (one skinny, one boyfriend, her fave), a black leather jacket, a bandana belt and a leather-trimmed canvas backpack. The singer’s “R” logo covers one T-shirt; an outline of her face is prominently featured on the other.

The Emporio Armani Underwear is slightly more Rated R, though; the lace bra-and-panty sets come in cobalt blue and pearl gray and the words “Rihanna for Emporio Armani” are written on the straps. Tell us: Would you buy clothing or underwear designed by Rihanna?

Rihanna Rebels with Second Scent, Rebelle

We already know she’s a Good Girl Gone Bad, but Rihanna plans to rebel even more with her second fragrance, Rebelle by Rihanna, hitting Macy’s stores this December, WWD reports.

Following in the footsteps of her highly successful first scent, Reb’l Fleur, Rebelle is in part the result of a video poll the singer ran on her site; when asking fans if they feel more like a rebel or a flower, 68 percent said rebel — and Rebelle was born.

“My grandmother in Barbados used to call me her Rebel Flower,” Rihanna told PEOPLE when her first fragrance launched earlier this year. As for the decision to create a scent? “Over the years, I layered many different scents to get something that was truly my own,” she explained. “But I wanted … something that said, ‘Rihanna was here.’ Something delicious and special, a fragrance with subtle hints that linger and leave a sexy memory.”

Get the Look: Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ Jewels

When Rihanna went in search of jewelry to wear in her new “We Found Love” video, the singer looked no further than Bijules, an edgy line by aptly named Manhattan-based designer Jules Kim. Having added sparkle to ensembles worn by Beyoncé, Fergie, Mary J. Blige and Kim Kardashian — to name a few — Kim has become a go-to gal for celebrities looking to spice up an outfit.

Rihanna first wore Bijules in her stark “Umbrella” video, Kim tells PEOPLE. But for “We Found Love,” the designer “was really pushing mixing styles with different directions and metals,” she says. (Two of her rings can be seen when the singer takes a spin around 2:55.)

Buy a Little Hope with Rihanna and Justin Bieber’s Charitable Tees

Fashion-savvy music fans, rejoice! Some of the hottest names in music — think Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna and Justin Bieber — are teaming up with Live Nation and City of Hope to raise funds for cancer research through a line of collectible T-shirts.

Visit your favorite artist’s website or the City of Hope Shop to find the “Hope, Love and Rock & Roll” tees — each features a unique design by one of 25 different celebs. The shirts you buy will support City of Hope’s research, which in turn helps patients and families fight life-threatening diseases. At least 50 percent of the retail price of each $21.95 tee will benefit the cause, too. Now that’s something to sing about.
