Rihanna goes topless for Italian Vogue

Rihanna has posed topless for Italian Vogue.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer has taken part in a raunchy photoshoot with famed fashion photographer Steven Klein for the magazine’s annual couture supplement.

The Grace Jones-inspired cover of the special publication sees the star clad in a structural feathered Valentino gown and patent knee-high boots, throwing a bucket of water at the camera.

Inside, the daring pictures see the ‘S.O.S.’ star clad in just skimpy pants, with glitter covering her chest.

Other images show her in a Madonna-style conical bra, and another has her donning a sharp-shouldered jacket teemed with just lace knickers and suspenders and boots.

The Barbados-born beauty’s hair also dazzles in the pictures, sculpted into a range of high quiffs and cones, teamed with dramatic dark eye make-up and deep red lips.

Most of the pictures have been shot in black and white, with a lone colour photograph depicting her wearing a turquoise dress and boots.
