The Barbados carnival queen! Rihanna gets down on all fours as she dances the night away in face paint veil and sheer monokini

        

As a renowned party animal, she doesn't need many excuses to let her hair down to excess.

So Rihanna took to the Barbados carnival scene with aplomb, partying through to the early hours of Saturday morning in the island's capital Bridgetown.

And the 25-year-old singer looked typically striking in a nearly sheer white monokini, decorated with sparkling metallic panels.
