NEW YORK, June 3 (UPI) -- Rihanna certainly knows how to "shine bright like a diamond."

The 26-year-old "Diamonds" singer turned heads Monday evening in a sparkling, sheer gown at the 2014 Council of Fashion Designers of America awards. The dress was completely see-through and made with 200,000 crystals, and the star had only a pink stole and nude thong underwear to protect her modesty.
