What a Thriller! Rihanna copies Michael Jackson’s military style for some retail therapy

Michael Jackson is a global superstar with legions of fans – including, it seems, RnB singer Rihanna.

The chart-topping Umbrella star was spotted wearing a Wacko Jacko-inspired jacket while she hit the shops in Beverly Hills.

Rihanna, 21, wore a military-style braided denim jacket, almost an exact copy of Michael’s signature ‘look’.

The RnB singer spent some time inside cult streetwear store BAPE on Melrose Avenue.

Other celebrity fans of the clothing label include Kanye West, Jay-Z and, er, comic Robin Williams…

Although Rihanna hid behind dark sunglasses, onlookers said she ‘appeared in good spirits’.
