Singer Rihanna debuted a dramatic new look last night as she stepped out on the town in New York City.  Decide if we love her new "look" inside and get the deets on what might have inspired the dramatic transformation....

We've all seen Rihanna make dramatic visual transformations on stage and in her "real life" many times before, and yesterday in New York City, she remained consistent with her switch-ups. 

The "Pour It Up" singer was spotted hopping out her SUV for a night out on the town, rocking a bleach blonde bobbed wig. 

We suspect the new look is only temporary as RiRi completed two photoshoots earlier in the day.  First, she did a session for her River Island Collection, tweeting "2 day shoot for my upcoming Autumn/Winter collections with River Island was flawless! My models looked so damn good! Foreign chicks errwhere". 

A short while later, RiRi re-emerged on her timeline to reveal that she'd wrapped another session, this time for MAC.  She said, "And that's a wrap on another #MAC shoot!! 2 in 1 day!! Thats my damn team!!!"

It's clear RiRi's new look was work related, but a good transformation is always sweeter when you're on the heels of a breakup.  With reports (and pics) flying out of Hollywood that her "recent" ex-Chris Brown partied at Graystone Manor with his "former" flame Karrueche Tran the other night...it's enough to make a girl reach in the closet and pull out something 'Fresh Off The Runway'. 

Only time will tell what tomorrow will bring....but we're expecting something new.  But for now.....

DO WE LOVE IT?
