Rihanna opened her Los Angeles stop of the Diamonds World Tour with a dramatic rendition of "Mother Mary".
Rihanna began the performance clad in gold and black, sans pants — a theme that would continually reveal itself throughout the evening.
The singer, accompanied by numerous backup dancers for the majority of the two-hour set, performed pop hit after pop hit, revealing her sizable catalogue of tunes.
Rihanna's performance followed an opening set from A$AP Rocky, who was joined onstage by A$AP Ferg and Schoolboy Q.
The boisterous crowd at the April 8 show included Elton John, Julia Roberts, Big Sean, Christina Aguilera, Tyga and several members of the Kardashian clan, all cheering the singer on.
Rihanna's show was presented in six “acts,” each which showcased various facets of the perpetually-touring singer. She is currently supporting her seventh album, Unapologetic.
Rihanna might have enough personalities to warrant six acts, but in the end, it all boils down to one artist selling libido-inducing hooks.
Rihanna was accompanied by guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, best known for his work with '90s rock band Extreme.
The show's effect was monstrous, a gleaming, sexy onslaught of pop perfection, aptly showcasing just why Rihanna has been able to sell seven albums and their subsequent world tours.
