Court documents claim that, after being challenged by the singer's lawyers, Topshop dropped her name on the T-shirt and referred to Headscarf Girl Tank, and then to Icon Tank.
The image under attack was taken by a freelance photographer "without her permission" while Rihanna was filming a video in Northern Ireland for one of her first singles in 2011.
The singer accuses Topshop of passing off, or attempting to pass off, the T-shirt as being approved or authorised by her and her associated companies and wrongly using her name in the course of trade.
However, Topshop lawyers have argued that they did nothing wrong.
They point out that, while the singer is claiming that Topshop T-shirt blighted her image, it has not stopped her entourage calling the retailers and "asking for products for her to wear" half a dozen times since she launched the lawsuit against them.
The judge heard that Topshop bought a licence to use the image on the T-shirt from the photographer who took it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], during the video shoot for Rihanna's single We Found Love, which was filmed in Belfast and Bangor in 2011.
