GRAMMY Awards will take place on February 12 (Sunday) in Los Angeles and we just can’t wait to see Rihanna performing! On this occasion we’ve decided to give you every day a post dedicated to Rihanna’s appearances at this prestigious award show. Today we’re going to focus on her red carpet style!

2007: Rihanna showed up for the first time in 2007 wearing a beautiful Roberto Cavalli green gown. Back then she was still sporting brown hair in medium bob.

2008: The next year Rihanna decided to wear blue dress from Zac Posen‘s Spring 2008 collection. At this time she had one of our favorite short black hairdo. This was a big night for Rihanna. She won her first Grammy (Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Umbrella”) and performed with band The Time.

2010: Rihanna made her Grammy comeback in 2010 wearing a high neck, open back crepe gown with chiffon applique, stone and feather detailing at the bodice from Elie Saab Haute Couture. She finished off her look with earrings and bracelet by Neil Lane and rings from Diamond in the Rough and “Lance” sandals by Jimmy Choo. At this time she was having a blond mohawk.

2011: Red hair Rihanna showed up last year on Grammy’s Red Carpet wearing fresh-off-catwalk Jean Paul Gaultier sheer gown and Christian Louboutin shoes. During the night she also performed twice. “What’s My Name” with Drake and “Love The Way You Lie” with Eminem. For the final performance she decided for a very dramatic Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture gown. And we loved this choice!

Check out under the cut more pictures from the past events. Which look was your favorite?

• It has only been announced that Rihanna will perform “Princess Of China” with Coldplay at the Grammys this weekend. However, Rihanna’s dancers are rehearsing as well. Maybe we should expect a few surprises… The 54th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 12, 2012, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles being broadcast on CBS 8:00 p.m. ET.

• Would you like “Birthday Cake” to be a single? That’s what Rihanna asked her 13 million Twitter followers yesterday. She also tweeted: “Now here’s the trick question! #IF I put collaborator on it, who would u wanna see lick the icing off????? #CAKE I need somebody #DIRRRTY on my Birthday #CAKE ;) lol And please!!!! No girls allowed on #CAKE” Thoughts??

• Rihanna is this year’s 9th most desirable woman according to AskMen.com. “In her memoir Bossypants, Tina Fey cheered Beyonce for “bringing back the leg meat.” Well, Rihanna has taken that “leg meat” torch and run with it. Watching her dance makes us forget that we ever desired supermodels with sticks for legs. Even the snooty Brits can’t get enough of her. When Coldplay’s Chris Martin needed a female vocalist for his recent “Princess of China,” he got Rihanna — even though his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to jumpstart her singing career. Sorry, Gwyneth, you’ve got no “leg meat.”"

• “We Found Love” extends its reign as Rihanna’s longest-leading Billboard Pop Songs No. 1, as the song, featuring Calvin Harris, rules for a sixth frame. That’s twice the total of her three previous longest commands: “Take a Bow” and “Disturbia,” which led for three weeks apiece in 2008, and “Only Girl (In the World)” (three, 2010). Rihanna concurrently debuts on Pop Songs at No. 39 as a guest on Coldplay’s “Princess of China.” The entrance of “Princess Of China” queens Rihanna as the sole artist with the most Pop Songs entries since the Nielsen BDS-based list launched the week of Oct. 3, 1992. Now with 30 visits, she passes Island Def Jam labelmate Mariah Carey (29) for first place.  

• Rihanna was one of the first celebrities to congratulate Beyoncé and Jay-Z on their first child, a girl named Blue Ivy Carter. She tweeted: “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih”

• RiRi got  a new Jeep from Roc Nation, click here to see a picture. Hopefully she will have her U.S. driver licence soon.

• Rihanna is featured on the new GRAMMY Awards promotional video. Don’t forget that Rihanna is nominated for 4 awards. It’s still unkwon if she will be at the show on February 12.

Rihanna collaborated on the brilliant “Princess Of China” from Coldplay’s No. 1 album Mylo Xyloto. Last month it was rumoured that BRIT Awards bosses plans to get the two chart heavyweights together for the O2 show next month. And now Rihanna has given the green light, the big moment looks like a real possibility. Speaking at the O2 before Christmas, she said:

“I think Chris Martin is a special guy. His songwriting is just beautiful and I am a huge fan. If they want me to sing with Coldplay, I will be waiting for the call. I’d love to perform with them.”

Since RiRi is on tour in the UK, she was unable to attend The Grammy Nominations Concert in Los Angeles. Watch her pre-taped performance above.
