Barbadian recording artist Rihanna has appeared in numerous music videos and films. Her videography includes thirty-five music videos, two guest appearances in other artists' videos, one video album, three film appearances and eight television commercials. In 2005, Rihanna signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings and released her debut single "Pon de Replay", taken from her first studio album Music of the Sun (2005).[1] Like its lyrical theme, the music video for the song was inspired by disco and dance;[2] the music video was directed by Little X.[3] In 2006, Rihanna released "SOS", the lead single from her second studio album A Girl like Me (2006). Three separate videos for the song were released, all of which contained various dance sequences.[4] The same year, American director Anthony Mandler directed the accompanying music video for the second single "Unfaithful", which featured Rihanna in a dangerous love triangle with her lover and her husband.[4] "Unfaithful" was Rihanna's first collaboration with Mandler; they later worked together regularly.[5] Also in 2006, Rihanna played herself in the third installment of the Bring It On film series, entitled Bring It On: All or Nothing.[6]

In 2007, Rihanna released her third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad.[7] The music video for the lead single "Umbrella" was directed by Chris Applebaum and featured scenes of Rihanna naked and covered in silver paint.[8] It won the Video of the Year accolade at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.[9] Seven more singles, accompanied with separate music videos directed by Mandler, were released from the album. Rihanna flew to Europe to shoot the music videos for the 2007 singles "Shut Up and Drive" and Don't Stop the Music" in Prague.[10][11] In 2009, Mandler also directed the video for "Run This Town", a collaboration between Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. It was shot in Queens, New York, and set in a post-apocalyptic environment.[12] "Russian Roulette" was the lead single from Rihanna's fourth studio album Rated R (2009). American actor and model Jesse Williams made a cameo appearance in the song's music video.[13]

The music video for the second single, "Hard", was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed the videos for Rihanna's 2010 singles, "Rude Boy" and "Rockstar 101".[14][15][16] The same year, Rihanna provided vocals for Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie". The song's accompanying music video features actors Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a love-hate relationship while Eminem and Rihanna perform in front of a burning house.[17] In 2010, Rihanna also filmed the scenes for her second film appearance in Battleship, which was released in April 2012.[18] In 2011, three of Rihanna's videos met with criticism and controversy. The Matsoukas-directed music video for "S&M" (Loud, 2010) faced a lawsuit from American photographer David LaChapelle[19] and was banned in eleven countries due to its sexual content.[20] The Parents Television Council (PTC) criticized Rihanna for her "cold, calculated execution of murder" in the video for her 2011 single "Man Down".[21] In September 2011, Rihanna released the lead single from her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk; "We Found Love"'s music video caused controversy from some activist groups, including The Rape Crisis Centre in the UK.[22] Christian youth pastors and the Ulster Cancer Foundation also criticized the video for Rihanna's portrayal of sexual intercourse while under the influence of illegal drugs, not being a role model to young girls and women and for smoking in the video.[23][24]
