If Rihanna is feeling any remorse for her disrespectful antics over the weekend, you wouldn't know it.

The singer, who goes by the appropriate Instagram moniker of Badgirlriri, found herself in trouble after it was reported that she was asked to leave the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi on Sunday for embarking on an impromptu, risqué photo shoot on the sacred grounds.

But on Monday, it was back to flashing the flesh, as the 25-year-old posted several images of herself naked in a bathtub playfully blowing bubbles.

Splish splash, she was takin' a bath: Exhibitionist Rihanna couldn't help but post several selfies as she took a bath on Monday, proving that absolutely nothing is off-limits

It's no secret that the Bajan beauty has a penchant for flaunting her enviable figure, but critics could well argue that perhaps she chose an insensitive time to snub her nose at them.

'She. #Greece,' was her only explanation as to the three nude portraits, while she later tweeted to her more than 32 million followers that it was just a little taste of a new project she's working on.

'More sneak peek pix of my #PHOTOALBUMBOOK with @gnlstudios coming soon with love from #Greece,' she wrote.

The Stay singer is currently in the thick of her Diamonds World Tour, which began in March and concludes next month.

Following Saturday night's performance in Abu Dhabi, next up, the songstress with take the stage in Tel Aviv, Israel on Tuesday.

While Riri has been attempting to curb her wild ways as she tours the Middle East, covering up somewhat for her shows, the bathtub selfies are a return to her shameless ways.

The star is fresh-faced in the photos, with large gold hoop earrings the only thing adorning her otherwise naked body.

She does own clothes! A short time later, the singer posted several images from her upcoming 2013 winter collection for River Island

Flower power: The star looked like a true model in her high-neck cropped tank top and pedal pushers, which feature a striking floral print, as she posed on a stone staircase

She sits with her knees up to her chest, protecting her modesty, as she holds a handful of bubbles up to her lips and kisses and blows on them.

A third picture is a badly lit image of the hitmaker reclining in the tub with a stunning mountain view visible out the window in the background as she holds an apparent joint of marijuana in her hand.

However, just a short time later, Rihanna showed that she can look just as stunning in clothes as out of them as she revealed several new images from her 2013 winter collection for River Island.

The star looks phenomenal in a high-neck cropped tank that shows off her toned tummy and matching pedal pushers, both of which feature a striking floral print.

Covergirl: The songstress sports bold red lips and matching talons, with long dark locks cascading down around her face in curls from a high up-do, while she also shows off the Maori tattoo on her hand that she got earlier this month

In one of photos, she poses sweetly with her foot grazing the water in a rockpool as she sits on a natural stone jetty in Greece, while in another, she leans on one knee as she sits on a staircase.

Signature bright red lips and talons bring out the matching hue in the outfit, while she has long dark locks in a messy up-do with masses of curls cascading down around her face.

The fourth and final collection for the British label will be available from November 7.

Rihanna might have made headlines with her collection for River Island but it's Georgia Hardinge who is winning over fashion critics with her range for the brand.

Loved by celebrities, including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Nicole Sherzinger and Florence Welch, the work of 28-year-old Hardinge is known for flattering graphic prints and architectural cut.

Part of River Island's Design Forum initiative, the 14-piece capsule collection bears the hallmarks of Hardinge's signature style, albeit without the high price tag of her main line.

Chic: Georgia Hardinge's sculptural designs have won her an army of celebrity fans, including Beyonce

Sculptural: Hardinge's capsule collection was inspired by Swiss surrealist sculptor, H.R Geiger

And the monochrome capsule collection has already proved a hit with the A-list. 'We have had commissions and have lent things,' Hardinge told the Guardian.

'Both Beyoncé and Nicole Scherzinger bought the same pair of leggings – though I'm not sure they know that.'

The collection, which was inspired by Swiss surrealist sculptor H. R. Giger, is awash with pretty form-fitting dresses in a chic, neutral palette of grey, cream and white.

'Working with a really strong team of people at River Island has been a great experience,' Hardinge added.

'it’s so nice to have lots of people to make my designs a reality. It is great to be a part of something so new and I definitely think this is the way forward for the high street, making a luxury product become accessible to all’.

Muted: Hardinge's work is famous for its toned down colour palette and architectural shapes

Youth: At just 28, Hardinge has already collaborated with Victoria's Secret, Lancome and now River Island

Despite her youth, Hardinge is one of London's success stories, rapidly making the transition from eager student to fully fledged designer, thanks to her sleekly wearable pieces and army of celebrity fans.

Graduating from the Parsons Paris School of Art and Design in 2008, she launched her first collection during London Fashion Week in 2009.

Since then, her label has become a fashion editor's favourite, and the designer has taken part in a series of collaborations including Victoria's Secret and Lancome.

Although her capsule collection for River Island is her first foray into designing for the British High Street, it is unlikely to be her last.

Georgia Hardinge for River Island is on sale now. See riverisland.com for more information.

Ibiza may be most famous for its amazing night life, but the white isle is also a cut above the rest when it comes to summer fashion.

Nowhere does beach chic quite like Ibiza, and High Street brand River Island has joined forces with legendary night club Pacha for the second time to help bring the spirit of the island in to our holiday suitcases.

After a successful launch in 2012, River Island and Pacha will produce three more collections of cool beach to bar wear for spring/summer 2013.

They're back! After a successful first collection, leading club brand Pacha will be collaborating with River Island for a second time

Casual chic: The collection is influenced by the chic Ibizian lifestyle

The Pacha by River Island collection features everything a summertime party girl needs from kaftans and denim shorts to bikinis and maxi dresses featuring bold prints and luxe fabrics.

The collection consists of three sections, all influenced by the chic Ibizian lifestyle, packed with plenty of summer prints and a mirage of bold and pastel colours.

Beach to bar: The new collection is designed with all those poolside parties in mind so can be worn from beach to bar

The first is an array of casual yet glamorous beachwear with a soft sherbet colour palette where lace kimonos and maxi dresses feature alongside Mochino-esque muted leopard print.

As for their playsuits, deco inspired embellishment and sequins aim to spice up poolside looks.

Their swimwear has obviously been created with those famous pool parties in mind and the range of swimwear and beachwear offers more of a day to night look with beaded kaftans and broderie embroidered pieces being the standout pieces.

Statement prints: Signature bikinis and one pieces are emblazoned with classic geometric tribal prints

There are also casual jersey pieces and body jewellery accessories, perfect for glamming up your beachside look.

Signature bikinis and one pieces are emblazoned with the iconic Pacha cherries in metallic gold and classic geometric tribal prints.

While many Rihanna fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of her collection for River Island, one lucky girl got a bit more than she bargained for when she headed to the launch to check out the clothes last week.

While trying on one of the new dresses, the shopper was interrupted by a knock on the changing room door by none other than the superstar herself.

Clearly shocked by coming face-to-face with her idol, the young girl seemed in a daze as she hugged the singer before describing it as 'the best start to 2013.'

Surprise! Rihanna shocks a stunned fan who is trying on a dress from her new River Island collection in the changing room

The fan, who had won a competition to be one of the first to see the collection, was the first person to actually try on one of the pieces designed my Rihanna.

The day before the collection was made available to the public, a few lucky winners were allowed in to the brand's flagship store.

And one fan, named Maneira, was clearly unaware that she'd run into the designer herself, making a beeline for the changing room holding a black dress.

Initial shock: The young fan puts her hands over her face as Rihanna pokes her head inside the cubicle

Rihanna tip-toed up to the changing room with a camera in tow, and waited patiently outside, mouthing to the crew that she was a girl.

And when the shopper stepped out in the dress to show a friend, Rihanna poked her head in, giving her the surprise of her life.

'Oh my God, oh my God,' she kept saying over and over again when she realised who it was, putting her hand over her mouth.

'I'm in shock': The fan admits that she's stunned by the fact that Rihanna was waiting outside the door

'Congratulations - how do you feel to be the first person in the world, except for me, to wear one of these dresses?' asked the Rude Girl singer.

'This is amazing. It's beautiful and you're beautiful as well,' said the stunned fan.' I'm just in shock. Is this the real Rihanna?'

'You're the first person to try on my clothes and the good new is - you get to keep the dress,' continued the pop star.

'This is like the best start to 2013, I can't wait for the rest of the year,' added Maneira. 'It was an amazing experience.'

Rihanna kicked off her 27-city Diamonds world tour on Friday night in New York City, wearing a number of revealing outfits, designed by Adam Selman, who collaborated with the singer on her River Island collection.
