Endless summer! Rihanna sizzles in the sunshine as she strips down to teeny bikini

IT'S nice to know that while we're on wrapping up in scarves and dodging sneezes in the office, some people are out frolicking on the beach.

And some people even manage to look drop dead gorgeous while doing it.
Rihanna took a break from her Diamonds world tour to take part in a sun-splashed photo shoot in her hometown of Barbados.
And the raunchy singer looked smoking hot in her minuscule printed white bikini.
The 25-year-old showed off her incredibly toned body as she posed seductively on the beautiful white sands.

Leaving her dark hair loose, Rihanna pouted her bold red lips and donned large sunnies as she crouched in the crystal clear water.
The skimpy bikini showed off the babe's wide range of tattoos, including the angel wings beneath her bust and the writing across her ribcage.
Riri nearly spilled out of the string top as she leaned forward into the waves, and showed off her enviably perky derriere as she walked across the beach.
As well as flaunting her washboard abs and endless legs on the sand, Rihanna then took to the sea with a lucky photographer to pose provocatively in the water.

Riri's lucky that the weather was mild– one strong wave and the bikini would have been knocked right off her.
The 'Pour It Up' singer also showed off her edgy new hairstyle, for which she has shaved one side of her head.
But it wasn't all work and no play for the star. Rihanna had returned to her home of Barbados to celebrate her beloved grandfather's 85th birthday the night before.
The babe posted a series of adorable family snaps to her Instagram, including one of her slow dancing with her main man. Bless.
