Rihanna was shining bright like a diamond at the 2024 Crop Over Festival in her native Barbados.
The singer caused a commotion Monday as she made a cameo at the carnival, clad in a barely-there bejeweled costume complete with a set of colourful feathered wings.
Fans were understandably wowed by the pop star as videos were circulated on X.
“Looking amazing as usual!” one person wrote, while another posted, “a literal goddess.”
The Grammy winner, 36, has attended the Crop Over Festival in previous years.
For her last appearance in 2019, she made a statement in a hot pink David Laport dress featuring a fan of dramatic feathers.
And back in 2015, she also posted a saucy video of herself twerking in a bejeweled bikini.
The Barbadian carnival originated on the sugar cane plantations during slavery and marked the end of the harvest.
The event is the country’s most popular and colourful festival and can be traced back centuries to when Barbados was the world’s largest sugar can producer.
It celebrates the end of one sugar cane season and the culmination of another.
Earlier this month, Rihanna and longtime partner A$AP Rocky celebrated their youngest son Riot’s first birthday.
The couple confirmed their relationship in 2021 and announced the following year that they were expecting.
They welcomed their first son, RZA, in 2022 and Riot the following year.
The billionaire entrepreneur has confirmed that she’s open to expanding their brood in the future.
“I would go for more than two,” she toldInterview magazine in April. “I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
“[I’ll have] as many as God wants me to have,” said the Umbrella songstress. “I don’t know what God wants.”
In February 2023, she has also shared how difficult postpartum was for her.
“You don’t sleep. At all. Even if you wanted to,” she told British Vogue, calling the early days of parenting a “headf**k.”
