Ship shape-ly! Rihanna is a modern pin-up in large bikini bottoms and mismatched string top as takes a boat trip in Barbados
By MARC ANDREWS
After the joy of spending Christmas with her family in Barbados and unwrapping presents together, Rihanna finally headed outdoors for some fun in the sun on her short Yuletide vacation.
Looking totally ship shape-ly, Rihanna wore a pair of cornflower blue 40s-style bathers teamed with a baby blue bikini top, over which she threw on an oversized light blue denim shirt to keep herself totally colour co-ordinated.
Wearing as many hues of blue as she could manage in the one skimpy outfit, she even completed her look with mirrored blue sunglasses.

While she put on a pair of simple white gym boots for the occasion, she didn't disappoint when it came it accessorizing either.
As per usual being a true fashionista, Rihanna made sure she put in plenty of effort for her outfit, with large gold earrings and a gold chain that ran down from her neck to her pants and then split into two, as if they were holding up her pants.
Of course, besides her many rings and bracelets, the Only Girl In The World singer made sure that she had her trusty little black bag with her too at all times.

She was ferried from the beach in one small boat to a larger coastguard vessel where she tossed off her denim shirt and seemed quite happy to have some moments of solitude to herself on the high seas.
Rihanna's busy lead up to Christmas involved smoking roll ups and posing in skimpy lingerie but the singer decided to cover up for the big day.
The 25-year-old Diamonds hitmaker shared a number of pictures of herself on Instagram, in a relatively restrained string vest top and long skirt.
With her hair loose in corkscrew curls and wearing bright red lipstick, Rihanna spent the big day opening presents with her extended family in her home country of Barbados.

The Stay singer was wearing the same skimpy red nightie that featured sheer lace on the bust and a satin collar during the house party.
She paired the barely-there number with thigh-high tights and black booties whilst wearing her dark hair in cork-screw curls and complementing her negligee with red lipstick.
