Lapping it up: Rihanna laughs as the tide laps against her ankles after her exciting jetski adventure

No doubt everyone thought Rihanna was stringing them along when she said she was going to wear her most daring bikini yet.

However the singer really was Rated R as she bared her impressive body on a Barbados beach today.


What a ride: Rihanna laughs as she is pulled along the ocean waves on board a dingy


Doubtlessly the gentlemen with her felt like sending out an SOS when the fashion-forward vocalist stepped onto the sand and stripped down in front of them to reveal the strapless stringy white two-piece.

The star took advantage of being back home on the paradise island to enjoy some watersports along with her best friends.

Firstly she was dragged along as a dingy that was pulled through the ocean waves by a speedboat.

The multi-platinum selling singer giggled with glee as she sped through the choppy waters.

But there was more fun in store as the 23-year-old showed amazing form when she jumped onto a jetski.

Well that didn’t last long… Rihanna goes back to her rude girl ways getting raunchy as a scantily-clad carnival queen

By Daily Mail Reporter


Carnival Queen: Rihanna was scantily clad in an elaborate carnival outfit as she took part in the Kadmooment Day parade in Barbados earlier today


Yesterday she showed off a toned-down look sporting a demure maxi dress, simple make-up and a relaxed hair style - a world away from her usual sexed-up style.

But it didn’t last long and earlier today Rihanna was dressed in a louder than life attire as she took part in a traditional Bajan festival.

The singer climbed aboard a float dressed in a cut away bra top and a pair of tiny red pants flaunting her fabulous figure as she celebrated Kadooment Day.

And while her scarlet locks may have gone the singer donned bright red feathers in her hair which added to the intricate embellishment on her costume.

Rihanna was certainly the star of the show and showed little inhibition as she played up to the crowds on the stage.

At one point in the party an over-eager fan came up behind her as she bent over and the singer happily obliged by dancing with him.

Raunchy moves: The singer bent down, with a cheeky grin on her face to dance with a willing fan


Ri-Ri was also seen blowing kisses to the crowd, supping on a drink and chatted with friends as she partied the day away.

And when the rain started to fall the singer didn't let the wet weather ruin her mood and took to running in the street and giggling with her pals.

The Grand Kadooment is the official finale celebration of the Crop Over Festival Season and Rihanna was taking part in the parade of Masquerade Bands.

Patriotic: The 23-year-old was seen waving the Bajan flat as she danced around on the stage


In June it was announced that Rihanna was the official ambassador for her home country of Barbados.

The partnership was announced June 15, and although it appears she has been taking up her duties earlier today, her role will begin with the Loud Concert in Bridgetown on Friday.

Yesterday the Rated R singer was spotted rocking her natural brown hair on a shopping trip with a group of pals.

Good times: Rihanna was seen carrying around a plastic red cup throughout the celebrations

Making a splash: The singer didn't let the wet weather ruin her mood and was seen running through the streets with her friends


Wearing a multi-coloured maxi dress, Michael Kors sunglasses and carrying a Fendi handbag, Rihanna tried on jewellery at the Crown of Light store.

'My home, my country, my people....BARBADOS!!! #1LOVE #SWEETfahDAYS NOTHIN' BETTER! #RihannaNavy Miss u guys tho,' RiRi tweeted Saturday as she arrived home.

The Bajan beauty recently wrapped up the North American leg of her Loud tour and will perform in Barbados later this week.

Shaking her thing: Rihanna showed off her moves as she danced with the group and wasn't lacking in admirers

Good view? The singer was seen on a man's shoulders as the group partied away


During previous performances, Rihanna steamed up the stage with sexy dance moves that showed her gyrating and giving lap dances in front of her screaming fans.

She also wore a series of raunchy outfits that revealed her enviable figure.

The concert tour proved a big success with the singer attracting attention for sexy performances and skin baring costumes.

So she CAN do classy! Rihanna ditches her barely-there outfits for a series of sophisticated dresses

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Glamour girl: Rihanna looks chic in a below-the-knee forest green dress with black lace detail

She is becoming well known for her love of barely-there outfits, raunchy dance moves and risqué music videos.

But Rihanna proves she can rock a much classier look in this month's Glamour magazine, where she poses in a series of striking vintage inspired dresses.

The 23-year-old singer manages to look chic and sophisticated in the evening-style wear, all of which provide more coverage of her assets than usual.


Classy: Rihanna covers up in a midnight blue floral lace dress in an inside image from the latest issue of Glamour magazine

One image shows the star lying on a bed in a below-the-knee green Marc Jacobs dress teamed with Christian Louboutin shoes, with her bright red hair in loose curls.

Another shot features her looking striking in a calf length black and teal lace Vionnet dress as she holds an old-fashioned microphone in front of a band.

In an accompanying interview, the singer admits that she likes to shock with her outrageous choice of outfits.

'Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right, or work an outfit that will make people go, “What the hell is she wearing?”' she says.

'I hate drama,' she adds. 'But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect. And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing…'


Striking: The singer looked stunning in a black and sheer dress and a dramatic white Yves St Laurent coat with fringe detail

Other photographs see her appear in a dramatic black jumpsuit and oversized Yves St Laurent white coat, along with a backless Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo and sequinned trousers on the cover.
