Rihanna Goes Wild For Carnival in Barbados

Rihanna returns to her hometown to party in style with friends and relatives

Rihanna went wild for Crop Over festival as she partied on a carnival float in a jewel encrusted barely-there bikini in her hometown of Barbados.

We're guessing that swimsuit was not made for any swimming…

Seemingly happy from her recent court win over high-street giant Topshop, Rihanna chose to wear barely any clothes at all as she sipped from a hip flask and a rhine-stone encrusted cup emblazoned with 'R' for Rihanna at the Kadooment carnival.

Rihanna, proud to be back in her hometown, tweeted: 'I love my country #Barbados ,' alongside an Instagram snap of her beaming smile in the day's Carribean sunshine.

Though Rihanna's street style – in giant white wings and fishnet tights teamed with tinted blue sunglasses and hidden heel trainers – looked more like an extravagant stage outfit from her Diamonds tour, the singer slotted straight in with the Carribbean costume of fellow revellers.

The singer flew into the country for the 8-day festival from LA on Friday, enjoying the all-night celebrations of Foreday Morning, which took place on the Saturday before stepping out for a second go, yesterday.

Again, the singer had seemed to hit the party scene pretty hard, emerging the afternoon after the festivities in 'paint and a veil', she said.

Rihanna is currently trying out a rather more traditional hair 'do than her long grey locks of late, with tight black curls – presumably pretty low maintenance for her hard partying.

This weekend, Rihanna taught us that diamonds really are a girl's best friend when your bikini is that small.
