And in typically Ri-Ri style the singer arrived in a very, very see-through outfit.
Rihanna showed off her enviable figure in a gothic sheer lace Givenchy Couture dress that barely covered her most intimate parts.
She continued her eye-catching look with hair styled borrowed from Orange Is The New Black character Crazy Eyes, along with bright green lipstick.
Things kicked off with a bang for the singer as she scooped the first award of the evening in the form of the Best Hip Hop/R&B Song Of The Year.
Unfortunately, Rihanna couldn't revel in her success as she turned up late to the ceremony after apparently getting stuck in traffic.
But her night was only just beginning and she won four out of five possible awards during the evening, including the most prestigious of all, Artist Of The Year.
After doing a happy dance when her name was read out, Rihanna thanked everyone she has worked with in the past.
'I know I'm a pain in the a** but it's worth it, because now we've got the award of the night,' she joked.
Once she had finally arrived at the bash it wasn't long before she collected her second gong in the form of Best Fan Army, for her Rihanna Navy.
'Rihanna Navy! This award is for the fans, as they said,' she began after taking her trophy from presenter Mel B.
'It's not easy what we do, it's very difficult at times, it's a lot of pressure to be a lot of things and I've never felt comfortable being anything but myself. And I want to thank my fans for embracing that and supporting that. I love you guys.'
After saying she was speaking on behalf of all the nominees, Rihanna added: 'There are times when it gets really difficult but when we think about the fans and the support that's what keeps us going. Rihanna Navy, thank you! Congratulations.'
She then scooped Song Of The Year for Stay and was delighted as she told the crowd: 'Thank you guys, shout out to Mikky Ekko for writing this incredible, incredible record. From the moment I heard it I loved it.
'But thanks to the fans for supporting it. And thanks to radio for playing it. Music is keeping radio alive and likewise, so thank you.'
She lost out in the Best Collaboration category to Pitbull, who won for his song with Kesha, Timber, and said to presenter Pharrell Williams: 'I'm nervous being up here with you.'
The rapper, who had started the show with a performance of his songs Timber and Wild Wild Love, referenced the ongoing scandal regarding Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
'I want to welcome the world to the first iHeartRadio Music Awards. Now everyone that's here is a who's who, a what's what, the anybody's of all anybody's — except of course for Donald Sterling,' he said.
'So, with that said, you can take a picture with whoever you want tonight — even Magic Johnson,' the star added to cheers from the crowd.
