Rihanna, the singer known for songs such as “Wait Your Turn” and “Umbrella,” won a lawsuit against Arcadia Group Brands Ltd.’s, Topshop over the sale of t-shirts that featured a 2011 photo of the pop star.

Selling the t-shirt without the singer’s approval amounted to a “passing off” of an unregistered trademark, a three-judge appellate panel in London said today, upholding a decision made in a lower court.
