While most of the fashion choices seen on the red carpet weren't very inspiring, I knew I could count on Rihanna to stay true to her killer fashion sense!

If RIhanna's gown looks familiar, it's because it's from Elie Saab Couture Fall 2009 collection. Of all the white gowns I've seen at the awards shows lately, this is one of my favorites.

Celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales told the Elle News blog that she was inspired by the makeup at the show, thus creating a couture-inspired makeup look.

Instead of matte white shadow, Morales opted for white shadow with a shimmery, pretty texture. She turned to Dior 1-Colour Ultra-Smoothing High Impact Eyeshadow in Crystal White. Instead of applying an eye primer, Morales applied the product with a damp brush to "ensure more intense and long-lasting coverage."

Not only was Rihanna a chic ice queen, but she was a twinkling Lash Barbie as well. On Twitter, Eyelash Guru Ja'Maal Buster revealed that Rihanna was wearing his lashes in "Notice Me," which are from his QVC exclusive lash line. Unfortunately, they're not available yet but they will be soon, as Ja'Maal Buster assured us. Morales coated these babies in CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara. "I used about three coats because I wanted the lashes to look spiky," Morales spilled.

At last, the glowing finish. Thanks to Dior Bronze Original Tan in Amber Tan (jaw line and cheeks, layered over facial moisturizer and foundation) and NARS Orgasm Illuminator (cheekbones, chin and upper lip), Rihanna proved you could go soft and still be hard.
