Rihanna Wins Court Battle with Topshop becomes $5.5 Million Richer

In 2012 Rihanna brought a case against fashion retailer Topshop for using her picture on a shirt without her approval. Her lawyers argued that it was false advertising as it would make her fans buy the shirt thinking it was endorsed by Rihanna.

Well, today RiRi won the case against Topshop’s parent company Arcadia for £3.3million ($5.5million).

The high court found in favour of the Barbadian performer and granted an injunction prohibiting Topshop from selling the clothes without informing prospective purchasers that it had not been approved or authorized.
