Rihanna 'wanted hair to be edgy'

Rihanna has revealed that she decided to dye her hair a vibrant red because she is no longer wearing eye-catching clothes.

The singer admitted that she had to make her style "edgy" in some way so decided to give the attention to her tresses.

She explained: "With my hair I was ready for something new, something loud, something expressive and something fun. I'd had blonde hair and it was so boring for me.

"Black is still my favourite colour, but this time I wanted something edgier because I don't like the edgy clothes anymore. I guess I had to take the edge to somewhere else - my hair!"

The 22-year-old further said that she is now into more high-end designer clothes.

She added: "With fashion the simplest thing like a star, or a flower, can inspire you. I'm into a lot of stuff to do with nature and colours now, just things that are really expressive.

"I wear a lot of Stella McCartney because what she does is great - she's a top, top designer."
