One of music's biggest fashion powerhouses, Rihanna, was missing from the Grammys red carpet last night, which kept fans guessing what head-turning look the singer would wear for this year's ceremony. However, missing the carpet wasn't an issue for the singer; she showed off her look on stage while accepting an award.

She and Kendrick Lamar had the first win at last night's ceremony, for Best Rap/Sung Performance, for their collaboration, "Loyalty." They even beat out JAY-Z and Beyoncé and SZA and Travis Scott for the win.

When Rihanna got to the stage, we finally got to see her look: a head-to-toe chocolate patent-leather ensemble. The outfit consisted completely of Alexandre Vauthier haute couture pieces, including an off-the-shoulder belted trench coat, slouchy boots and, best of all, matching gloves. Her thick, voluminous curls were the perfect final touch.

Kendrick was sure to give Rihanna a shoutout during his acceptance speech. "She came through and gassed me on that record, gassed me on my own song and whatnot, man. So this really belongs to her," he said of his collaborator.

She responded with gratitude. "Well, thank you, Kendrick for giving me this incredible opportunity to be on such a great record," Rihanna said at the mic. "I love this record and I'm honoured to do this with you. Congrats, you deserve this, man."
