Down with Daria Werbowy and up with Rihanna! The H&M billboard at Houston and Broadway reveals the songstress sans umbrella and instead clad in a top she designed herself. The "tee shirt" she's wearing looks more like a tank to us, but since it's part of the brand's upcoming "Fashion Against AIDS" line, we won't nitpick. The clothing line is designed with the help of various celebrity musicians, including Rihanna, and 25 percent of the sales from the collection will go to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world. She looks great in the mural, but what's with the toothpick?
