The pop superstar was snapped leaving a hotel in New York after a gruelling rehearsal session for this year's Victoria's Secret show

With the eagerly-anticipated Victoria's Secret catwalk show taking place tonight, special guest performer Rihanna put in some last minute rehearsals at a venue in New York.

The pop superstar, who will provide the musical entertainment at the lingerie spectacular alongside fellow singers Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, was pictured leaving the Lexington Avenue Armory show-space in the city's Meatpacking District having worked up a sweat during an energetic practise session.

The Bajan songstress still looked glam despite her wet hair, wearing a pair of grey fitted jogging trousers, a Chanel sweatshirt, a quilted Chanel shoulder bag, black strappy heels and a flash of red lipstick as she made her way home from the venue.

Rihanna will take to the stage at the annual Victoria's Secret catwalk show tonight, where she is expected to sing two songs, including her new single Diamonds. She will perform alongside the lingerie giant's models – the 'Angels' – as they walk the runway in pieces from the latest underwear collection and a series of theatrical costumes, including huge feathered angel wings and superhero capes.

Models Miranda Kerr, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes are all expected to strut their stuff at the show. Previous musical guest stars who have performed alongside the models at the annual event include the Spice Girls, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake, as well as rappers Kanye West and Jay-Z.
