Rihanna Became Bad Girl! Reveals Half Nude Body As She Poses Topless for Vogue Brazil in Beach Photoshoot

Strutting topless on the beach, pouting Rihanna looks like she's stepped straight off the pages of a lad's mag. But this isn't FHM she's posing for, but the highly respected fashion magazine Vogue - albeit the Brazilian edition.

The pop star was pictured in five different yet equally revealing outfits as she posed for a photographer on the Brazilian Island of Angra dos Reis.

Just small strips of tape obscured the singer's nipples as she stood posing on the sand in the shots, taken last week.

For one series of pictures Rihanna wore a pair of gold boy short bikini bottoms, which she teamed with armfuls of bangles, and a colourful headscarf.

The 25-year-old stood smouldering at the photographer, giving her best pout.

OOPS! Wardrobe malfunction or she show off her small tits narrowly

Despite the large team surrounding her, holding shades and mirrors to light her face, scantily clad Rihanna seemed at ease in the spotlight.

Of course, coming as she does from the island nation of Barbados, we are used to seeing Rihanna strutting around in a bikini during her down time.

And it seemed she was equally relaxed doing so in front of the camera.

 Throwing a white towel around herself the singer darted between locations for the shoot.

The hard-working star had jetted in via helicopter, carrying her own bags as she disembarked.

After a quick costume change, the still topless star posed in colourful patterned shorts and a floppy straw hat.

For a third shoot Rihanna donned strappy gold and black sandals, and a jacket and cap.

Still topless, she managed to break a smile as she laughed with her team between poses.

 Next she stepped into the ocean wearing a black pair of bikini bottoms.

With a green shirt slipping down off her shoulder, she stood seductively half-submerged in the water.

Another image saw her don a transparent white vest, which she wore in the surf.

Along with her fabulous figure, the shoot also revealed Rihanna's many tattoos

While the revealing outfits might be deemed a little too racy by some stars, Rihanna certainly didn't seem phased.

She laughed and joked with her team between takes, with one unguarded moment catching her smiling as she posed in a green designer jacket and a black hat featuring the name 'Vogue'.

And while the topless shoot might look a little out of place on the pages of the US version of the magazine, for Brazil Vogue it is positively demure.

Rihanna & Cara Delevingne Go Flirty At Brooklyn Nets Basketball Game Live — Photos!

Rihanna and Cara Delevingne have been pretty much inseparable over the last couple of weeks and they were seen enjoying their latest outing together last night when they sat courtside to watch a basketball game in Brooklyn and it doesn't look like they're remotely sick of each other yet.

The Bajan beauty and British model were spotted sitting up front and centre at the game which saw the Brooklyn Nets take on the Atlanta Hawks at the Barclays Center and it was a particularly special night for Cara, 21, who admitted it was the first time she had ever seen a basketball game live.

“My first basketball game, the Nets won! Thanks for the lovely evening @rihanna @jennnrosales,” Cara tweeted after the game.

Both Cara and Rihanna seemed fully engrossed in the game as they made several exaggerated facial expressions and watched intently but made sure to enjoy themselves, cracking jokes with each other and taking photos with one of Rihanna's other BFFs Jennifer.

The girls looked super cool with Cara showing off her enviable abs in a white crop top teamed with an Adidas hoodie, leather trousers and Timberland boots while Rihanna, 25, was equally relaxed in a black hoodie and skinny jeans with Nike trainers.

The BFFs got especially giddy at one point when someone chucked a rolled up Brooklyn Nets t-shirt which Cara was later seen wearing. RiRi and Cara have been enjoying each other's company for some time, even spending New Year's Eve together while Cara even joined the 'Diamonds' singer in her native country Barbados during the Christmas break.

Rihanna Goes Sultry In Sexy Lingrie And Santa Coat, Share Private Christmas Photos

The 25-year-old wore her scantily-clad ensemble to her friend Leandra's Christmas-themed Lingerie Party at Priva Barbados Lounge and Night Club on Monday, adding on a shaggy St Nick coat upon leaving.

But the coat didn't stay on for too long, as Rihanna opted to leave little to imagination in a series of pictures posted to Instagram earlier that day. 

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.

 In one snap, the songstress is seen posing in front of a glittering Christmas tree, her hands on her face.

 In another, she kneels on a bed giggling, covering her face once again as a friend dressed as Santa lies beside her.

 She is also seen kneeling on the same bed as she looks over her shoulders, a picture of a woman in a G-string visible on the wall behind.

 The singer is currently on vacation with her family in her homecountry of Barbados.
She needs all the rest she can get as she gears up to front French fashion line Balmain. 
The singer, who has a hand in designing her own range of outfits for River Island, will be the face of label’s Spring 2014 range, which launches in January.

Rihanna Is The New Face Of Balmain - Wearing Chains and Double Denim

RIHANNA is the new face of Balmain. Described as an "icon" by the label's creative director, Olivier Rousteing, the singer stars in the forthcoming spring/summer 2014 campaign - due to appear in magazines from January.

"In front of the camera, she makes you feel like she is the only girl in the world," said Rousteing. "When the woman that inspires you wears your creations, your vision feels complete."

The adverts were shot in New York by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, with styling by Mel Ottenberg - who also serves as Rihanna's personal stylist. The star has previously fronted campaigns for Armani Jeans.
