You might think that one of the world's most famous pop stars might appreciate the extra publicity⁴ of having her face adorn⁵ the t-shirts of one of the most popular clothing retailers⁷ in the UK. But Rihanna thought not, and has won a battle at the Court of Appeal in London against the retailer⁶ Top Shop. It had been selling a sleeveless tee shirt featuring a photo of the star that was taken without her permission. And the ruling ensures a ban on its sale is allowed to remain in place. Rihanna has previously⁸ done publicity and commercial appearances for Top Shop.
