Rihanna's runway looks

Lately, Rihanna has been spotted wearing looks directly from the Fall 2009 RTW and Spring 2009 RTW runways.

Yesterday, The Chic Spot posted a photo of Rihanna at the opening of the Derek Lam boutique opening in NYC. Turns out, the look was from Derek Lam's Spring 2009 RTW collection.

Here are some other looks Rihanna has adopted from the fashion shows, courtesy of rihannadaily.com.

So now, the question is....

Is Rihanna a real fashion icon? Or does taking looks directly from the runway just constitute as "copying?"
