While Paris was disappointed (to say the least) with Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs' collection for Emanuel Ungaro, there's another seriously stylish celebrity on the French fashion scene, and she's anything but a letdown.

Rihanna has become a front-row fixture along with gal pal Katy Perry. The musical duo has been spotted at fashion shows aplenty, including Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Word around town is that RiRi is scouting the shows for what to wear on her next album cover.

And while she's at it, she's racking up major style points -- the star has been sporting fashion favorite, all-black, about town.

She started out Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010 with a see-through, side cleavage dress at Gareth Pugh, then opted for a sans pants look at Christian Dior; and donned a cut-out bondage jacket by Gaultier himself at the JPG.

And despite some editors feeling the fashion week burn, RiRi continued to up the style ante by rocking a lingerie-inspired look by Balmain at the designer's must-see show; a classy yet fashion-forward suit by Givenchy to support the brand's designer, Riccardo Tisci; and rubber thigh high boots -- with garters -- by Hussein Chalayan at his eponymous line's runway show.

See which designer went barnyard chic!
