Rihanna Strips Down to Bikini for Parade in Barbados

Island Brothaz/Splash News

Rihanna showed off her assets Monday (August 1) while she was on her home island of Barbados engaging in some festive activities. The 23-year-old superstar entertainer, who just wrapped her North American Loud tour last week, took part in a Kadooment Day Parade and dressed the part.

The girl once known for wearing baggy jeans and crop tops when she first popped on the scene stripped down to a barely-there red bikini decorated with jewels and donned a matching feathery headdress. By her side was her longtime friend Melissa, who also celebrated the occasion by dressing in a gold ensemble. One male fan even had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with Rihanna as he bent the fiesty performer down in front of him to dance provocatively in back of her.

Before taking part in the parade, Rihanna shared her love for Barbados via Twitter. "My home, my country, my people....BARBADOS!!! #1LOVE #SWEETfahDAYS NOTHIN' BETTER! #RihannaNavy Miss u guys tho," the red-haired 'Cheers' singer wrote.

Rihanna took part in Kadooment Day to celebrate the ancient tradition of people masquerading in clothing of natural materials after giving the first grown crops to the gods for good luck. Kadooment Day is a public holiday in Barbados, which takes place during the Crop Over Festival. The event rejoices the end of the sugar cane crop harvest.

Where do you guys get your information from? This is the standard costume for grand kadooment (very similar to, but more conservative than, brazil carnival). Also the festival doesn't involve any kind of "offering to the gods for good luck", it's just to celebrate the end of the sugar crop hence it being associated with "Crop Over". Try doing just a little bit of research.

okay... i'm from Barbados & live in FL, but im visiting Barbados now. I was at the Kadooment day parade the other day & nothing is vulgar nor disgusting towards what Rihanna is wearing. This is apart of our culture and this is how we dress during Cropover Season! What you guys call "bending over infront of a man" is what we call "wuk-ing up". Theres nothing wrong with it! If your not from Barbados you wouldnt understand so don't criticize the way WE celebrate ! (: Thank You.

It seems that alot of you need alot more education about life/tradition on the islands. Her costume is no different than any of the others that are worn at annual parades. We have West Indian parades all over the US as well and the same costumes are worn. If you don't have an open mind, DON'T LOOK!

I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, HitPenny.com
