Rihanna is in New York preparing for her concert appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend. We caught up with the glamourous singer as she headed to SNL’s studios, then later on to MTV. Though Rihanna has made some hideous questionable fashion choices in the past, we’ve gotta admit we really like how she’s dressing these days. And there’s no two ways about it, her long locks look so much better than her former mushroom cut.

Rihanna, always gracious to her fans, made time to pose for photos even with her packed schedule.
