The Barbados carnival queen! Rihanna gets down on all fours as she dances the night away in face paint veil and sheer monokini
|
As a renowned party animal, she doesn't need many excuses to let her hair down to excess.
So Rihanna took to the Barbados carnival scene with aplomb, partying through to the early hours of Saturday morning in the island's capital Bridgetown.
And the 25-year-old singer looked typically striking in a nearly sheer white monokini, decorated with sparkling metallic panels.
Party hard: Rihanna sported a typically revealing costume, distinctive sunglasses and a veil for carnival season in her native Barbados at a party on Saturday
Party girl: Rihanna gave some love to all the locals as she danced away in the raunchy get-up
Centre of attention: Rihanna jumped around in her sheer silver leotard as thousands headed to the island's capital, Bridgetown
Green face paint, blue and silver sunglasses, practical baseball boots and a white veil over her new short curly hairdo completed the look.
The star clutched a drink in one hand as she grinded behind several other partygoers at The Foreday Morning Jam party.
At one point, she also showed off the backless detail of her ensemble, getting down on all fours for some kind of breakdance move.

The bash, which took place on the street, began at midnight and ended at 6am, with Rihanna seemingly in it for the long haul.
'Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in de street all morning!!! #Barbados #FOREDAYmorning CROP OVA almost here!' she wrote on her Twitter on Saturday after her night out.
However, there was time for recovery for the singer, who tweeted that she was back to work, taking part in a new cover shoot - 'Glam starts now,' she wrote.
Matching: She dressed the same as her girl pal as they made their way around the street party
Smiler: She looked ecstatic to be back with her best friends in her local neighbourhood

Catching a ride: Rihanna even jumped on top of a local man to escort her round in her merry state
Rihanna was showing off her new curly hair style, switching from a menagerie of long wigs she has been sporting on stage during her Diamonds tour.
The star is currently on a two-month break from her world tour after recently jetting back home to Los Angeles from Europe.
She will travel east next month for shows in Macau, Manila and Singapore.
Up close: She seemed to get more involved and more merry as her night went on
Dancer: She caused quite the stir as her bodyguards watched on
It comes just after Rihanna narrowly avoided bumping into her ex Chris Brown#'s former flame Karrueche Tran while out partying once more in Hollywood.
The two women, both 25, narrowly missed an awkward encounter when they both went on a night out to Play House in Hollywood on Thursday night.
While it is unknown whether the pair had partied together inside, they both exited the venue separately.
Rihanna had snuck out the back entrance of the popular late night venue, while Karrueche departed with a male pal at the front, alongside other party goers.
Slim star: She showed off her slim physique in the minuscule outfit on Saturday night
Energetic: She didn't stop dancing all night long as she kicked off the annual festivities
It is very unlikely that the pair had exchanged words inside after having both enjoyed romances with R&B singer Chris consecutively.
Karrueche is the last one to have picked up where Rihanna left off and is currently dating the bad boy star.
Chris and Karrueche sparked rumours of an official reconciliation in June when the pair cosied up for a picture together.
The photo showed Chris fondly placing his head on Karrueche's shoulder while she patted his shaved head.
