Rude girl! Rihanna closes Hackney Weekend in some very cheeky hotpants and fishnet stockings
|
The 24-year-old took to the stage as the sun was setting over East London's Hackney Marshes to the tune of her 2010 hit Only Girl In The World.
She wore a leather jacket embellished with gold, which was quickly stripped off after the opening number, and tiny black hotpants over cut-off fishnet stockings.

A T-shirt emblazoned with a tiger, black and gold sunglasses and bright red lipstick completed her look.
Rihanna followed her first track with Disturbia and S&M, which saw her jump off the stage and greet the audience.
After her third song, Rihanna informed the crowd that her mic pack was slipping, and enlisted the help of a thrilled fan in the front row to re-attach it to her bra strap.

Following her performance, Rihanna headed to the Birdcage pub in Bethnal Green - a few miles west of Hackney - but left only a few minutes later after deciding it wasn't for her.
She then moved on to Whisky Mist in Mayfair for a two hour drinking session with her best friend Melissa Forde.
Hours earlier, Rihanna was pictured leaving her central London hotel en route to the free East London festival.
