Rihanna wins legal battle with UK's Topshop over image rights.

Rihanna's victory in a legal case against Topshop over the use of her image has been upheld by Britain's Court of Appeal which backed an earlier judgment against the British fashion chain.


Three years ago Topshop, which is owned by billionaire Philip Green's Arcadia Group, started selling a T-shirt with an image of Rihanna on it without her permission.

Rihanna took Topshop to court over the matter, and in 2013 a judge ruled in her favour, saying that shoppers could be deceived into buying the T-shirt wrongly.

On Thursday, the Court of Appeal dismissed Topshop's appeal against that decision, finding that the retailer had infringed Rihanna's right.
