10. She Had A Fight With Topshop

No stranger to the courts, the world-famous star was part of another legal battle in 2013, following the sale of t-shirts in Topshop which had a print of her face on them. Rihanna, who designs for Topshop's rival River Island and two other LA companies, did not give her consent for the t-shirts to have her image on them, and ended up going through the legal system in order to regain control. The offending garment, which went on sale in March 2012, was initially promoted as the €œRihanna Tank€ before Topshop dropped the mention of the singer. But it continued selling the top until it sold out. Luckily for Rihanna, the High Court ruled in her favour, claiming Topshop had duped customers into thinking the singer had authorised the sale of the top. It was ruled that the €œgoodwill€ of people towards the singer had been damaged, that her merchandising business had lost sales, and the singer had suffered a €œloss of control over her reputation in the fashion sphere€. Is this just a little bit OTT or...?
