Displaying user role in a partial view

I have a partial view within my main _Layout.cshtml. The partial view is used to display info about the logged in user.

The username can be displayed using @Context.User.Identity.Name

but I also want to display the role of the user.

What would be the best way to display this info?

Loop through all of the user's roles in the View and display them accordingly:

@foreach(string role in Roles.GetRolesForUser(Context.User.Identity.Name))
{
    @Html.Label(role);
}

This utilizes the Roles.GetRolesForUser() method, and returns a string[] for all the roles (each represented as a string) the user is a part of.
