Rihanna is an LAX Lady

Rihanna makes her way through LAX airport early with her BFF Melissa on Friday (November 20).

After a crazy busy trip all around Europe, the 20-year-old Barbados beauty spent the better part of last week in London, England promoting her album and performing.

RiRi, who sported Gaultier as she walked through the airport, is in town for the American Music Awards – she’ll be performing on the show, airing this Sunday (November 22) at 8/7c on ABC!
