Unanimous choice in RihannaAnother celebrity – or celebrity group, rather – was mulled over by the Westfield Centre as a potential act for the festive event, and this was the Spice girls. The popular girl band was fresh from its successful performance at the London Olympic Games of 2012. In the end, everyone agreed that Rihanna was the ideal choice. The management decided that they want 2012 Christmas to be the best one that people of London will always remember; and so they thought Rihanna leading the Christmas light switch-on activity will be memorable.Thrilled to be back at WestfieldRihanna was happy to be asked to do the switch-on task again at Westfield Stratford.

She made sure that every one of the 20,000 fans had a great time as she performed afterwards.

She performed magnificently in front of her fans while dressed up in an ensemble that deserved equal attention. There was an impressive turnout at the event, proving the immense popularity of the pop star. Rihanna was the top attraction, with everyone waving their cell phones as she led the ceremonies. She even posed for a few fans backstage.Apart from being in the mannish double breasted coat, the pop star was seen wearing a red-toned scarf after she completed her Christmas light switching-on task.
