Singer and fashion icon Rihanna made waves with her A-Morir Barracuda sunglasses in her 'Run This Town' video, and the young diva couldn't resist rocking her sight-obscuring shades to Fashion's Night Out 2009 in New York City on Thursday night.
Rihanna's Fashion's Night Out ensemble was all-black, from her hooded top to her figure-hugging miniskirt. The A-Morir Barracuda sunglasses and ankle booties finished the outfit in epic fashion.
