Rihanna Spends £100K on Glitzy 5ft Marilyn Monroe Portrait Tuesday 31st January 2012 | Osh Global superstar and sensation Rihanna commissioned a British artist to create the design before making the extravagant purchase - which is made of 65,000 crystals. The 5ft picture now resides in her LA home and was created by Claire Milner, a British artist. The portrait constantly changes colour and was put together by hand at Claire's Yorkshire studio before being shipped to the US. It sends rainbows through the room and is 100 per cent Swarovski crystal. Rihanna is due to star in a brand new UK fashion television series alongside Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts. This will be her first stab at a television project which will see Rihanna seeking out the next big UK fashion designer. The winner will design an outfit for Rihanna to wear when she performs at the Wireless Festival which takes place in London in July. Known for her provocative and at times outrageous choice of wear, this will be one challenging task for the lucky one!
