PARIS (AP) – The sky was the limit for powerhouse Christian Dior which built an entire floral mountain within the Louvre to house its 15 minute show at Paris Fashion Week. On the front row was Rihanna, attracting almost as much attention as the decor. Here are the highlights of Friday’s shows:

RIHANNA CAUSES MAYHEM

The pop star and Dior brand ambassador swooped into the Louvre to a flurry of paparazzi flashes, and posed in front of a myriad of blue flowers. The backdrop complemented the stylish singer’s clothes – a pink Dior couture cape dress from the fall-winter collection, with an exaggerated pocket, and raunchy boots.

Inside, she appeared relaxed and took selfies, even as the media scrum around her wall of bodyguards ballooned to near chaos.
