Rihanna closed the Hackney Weekend festival on Sunday night with a performance that included a string of her hits and a surprise (albeit widely expected) guest appearance by her mentor Jay-Z.
The 24-year-old took to the stage as the sun was setting over East London's Hackney Marshes to the tune of her 2010 hit Only Girl In The World.
She wore a leather jacket embellished with gold, which was quickly stripped off after the opening number, and tiny black hotpants over cut-off fishnet stockings.
The hits continued to roll, with Man Down, Where Have You Been, Wait Your Turn, Hard, and Don't Stop The Music.
Finally, the opening bars of Run This Town sounded, confirming what many were expecting: Jay-Z arrived onstage for a guest appearance.
After Rihanna made a cameo onstage the night before to help open the rapper's set, it was all but a given that he would re-pay the favour.
He did that and more, staying for three songs.
The duo performed Run This Town, Talk That Talk and Umbrella, before Jay-Z left Rihanna to finish up her set alone.
The closing number was last year's mega hit We Found Love.
