Nothing Beats a Bit of Self Promotion: Rihanna Commands Attention in Shots for Barbados Tourism Campaign

No stranger to the world of Instagram, Rihanna has proved that she loves nothing more than showing off pictures of herself. But one thing she holds higher than her ability to take a good self portrait is her birthplace.

And combining the two, on Sunday the 24-year-old uploaded an image of herself taken from her tourism campaign for the island of Barbados. Standing in a rust red laced up swimsuit, Rihanna commands the attention in the sizzling shot.

With her raven locks partially covering her face, Rihanna stares dead into the camera lens as she puts her svelte frame on display in the all-in-one. A pair of hooped earrings, several rings, a necklace and body chain completes her look. Another frame sees the fresh faced chart-topper bending forward as she gets a feel for the water.

Backed by the stunning view of rocky mountains and the ocean, Rihanna proves that she was the perfect choice to be the face of the 431 square kilometres haven.

Placed in a very different setting from her tourism campaign, on Monday Rihanna, real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was pictured arriving at JFK. Ready to brave the chill of the city, the singer wore a large fur jacket which featured burnt orange leather sleeves as she strutted through the terminal.

Showcasing her newly cut pixie crop complete with blonde highlights, Fenty hid her eyes behind a pair of blacked out sunglasses.
