Rihanna reportedly requested a larger backstage area for her outfits during a performance over the weekend.

The star was performing at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London on Saturday, where she required the ample dressing space.

Sources say Rihanna came armed with a large amount of attire and a bigger entourage, so requested that she have extra room backstage.

"Rihanna brought a huge entourage with her and asked for them all to be looked after with food and drinks,' a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"And backstage she needed one room for her bags, one for clothes and two for her team to use."

Rihanna is currently on the road with her Loud tour.

However, the 23-year-old singer has had to cancel dates due to illness in recent weeks and is said to be extremely exhausted.

It was recently reported that the beauty was put under 24-hour surveillance and given a curfew by her record label ahead of her performance at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball event.

Her final tour performance will take place in London on December 22.
