Rihanna wins High Court Battle against Topshop in '$5MILLION lawsuit' for using her image without permission

Rihanna has won her High Court Battle to ban high street fashion chain Topshop from selling T-shirts with her image on them.

The star is suing for $5 MILLION (£3.3m) against parent company Arcadia Group Brands Ltd.

Rihanna was not in court for the proceedings as Judge Mr Justice Birss took just two-minutes to rule in her favour at a hearing in London.

The picture at the centre of the row appears to have been taken from Rihanna’s video for No1 hit We Found Love, released in 2011.

The Feisty singer and two Los Angeles-based associated companies claim she is entitled to damages for the unauthorised use of her picture.

RiRi states that not only was her image used on a range of T-shirts without her permission but she thinks she looks ugly on them, too. lol riri sef

Her lawyers also claimed the picture was "very similar" to images used on CD sleeves for one of her albums.

Justice Birss said Topshop's sale of the Rihanna T-shirt was an act of "passing off".
