Rihanna Wins Lawsuit With Topshop Parent Company Over Use of Her Image

The British courts have ruled in favor of Rihanna, who sued Topshop’s parent company Arcadia over the unauthorized use of her image on a t-shirt that was being sold at the well-known retailer. The image was taken from a 2011 video. And the courts found, back in 2013, that it was reasonable to think that consumers, upon seeing the shirt, would think Rihanna approved it.

Arcadia argued that the t-shirt was similar to others that feature celebrities like Elvis Presley on them.
