Riahnna has won her legal battle with high street store Topshop over their selling of a t-shirt that bared the singer’s image.

Rihanna sued company Arcadia Group Brands Ltd who owns Topshop and was reportedly seeking around £3 million in damages from the sales of the t-shirt from 2011 to 2012.

In that time, unknown quantities of the item were sold and it led to Rihanna accusing the company of trying to pass of the merchandise as if it was approved by her claiming it was luring shoppers with "an emotional connection to their heroine".

In response, lawyers representing Topshop claimed that Rihanna was trying unjustifiably to claim a "free-standing image right" to the use of her image.

A judge at London’s High Court ruled today that where there is "no such thing as a general right by a famous person to control the reproduction of their image" and "the mere sale by a trader of a T-shirt bearing an image of a famous person is not an act of passing off", Topshop were still at fault in this instance.

Lawyers representing Rihanna said that: "the sales... gave rise to a likelihood of deception, damaging Rihanna's goodwill.

"A substantial number of people buying, or even seeing, those T-shirts would think they are approved or somehow connected with Rihanna, when, in fact, they were not approved of or connected with her at all."
