The Grammy-winning artist then changed into a furry blush bra and tailored parachute pants, accessorized with a head scarf, fishnet tights and a Chopard watch with 21 carats of diamonds, to sing and dance her heart out to "Rude Boy" and "Work."

Finally, for a performance of "Stay," "Diamonds" and "Love on the Brain" backed by a full orchestra, the Barbadian singer stunned in a tan silk, long-sleeved Alexandre Vauthier ball gown, cinched with a grommet belt. She kept this number on to accept her Moonman, too, which is when her rumored beau Drake professed his love for her. "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old," he said.

The "One Dance" singer also acknowledged his love's bold style: "When it comes to performance, they swarm in masses just to be in her presence, obviously. And when it comes to fashion and style, she makes it seem so effortless until you try to do it yourself, which is when it gets a little awkward."

Rihanna showed off the voluminous ball skirt of the gown as she walked off the stage, hand-in-hand with Drake. "Captivating from day one, the iconic being that is Rihanna was already at a place where most artists only dream of going," the rapper also shared in his speech. "For them, that's often the peak, but for her, that was a starting point and she has kept ascending to an untouchable level ever since."

Drake and Rihanna kept the party going for the afterparty, where she wore a jade jumpsuit with extreme fringe and sheer panels. "This is a night for us all to be thankful for what you have done for us! You have affected so many of our lives in the best way possible," the "Hotline Bling" singer wrote via Instagram. "Tonight we celebrate you! @badgalriri"
