\n\tThat\u2019s where you would have found Rihanna, who once again stunned in a wildly colorful, elaborate costume<\/a> covered in jewels, sparkles and peacock-colored feathers. The singer, 38, walked, and danced, in the parade, blowing kisses to fans<\/a> along the way and then swapped out her towering headpiece for a more manageable one before boarding a float to enjoy the festivities at a remove while she waved to fans. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Glamour<\/a>, the costume was by celebrated Barbadian designer Lauren Astin and featured \u201ccrystal embellishments, bold jewel tones, dramatic feather detailing and a statement headpiece worthy of a carnival queen.\u201d The outfit also had a number of bold cut-outs on the bodice \u2014\u00a0mostly cut-outs, honestly, as the eye-popping piece<\/a> strategically covered bits of RihRih\u2019s body with jewels, leaving not much to the imagination.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrop Over is Barbados\u2019 biggest and most vibrant carnival celebration, with roots in the 1700s as a party marking the end of the island\u2019s sugar cane harvest. The contemporary version features weeks of music-driven parties and cultural events leading up to Monday\u2019s Grand Kadooment Day, the massive carnival parade where thousands of citizens don their finest masks and sparkling costumes to dance through the streets of Barbados.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough fans are still holding out for the singer\u2019s ninth studio album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2016\u2019s ANTI, Rih gave them a tease recently when she was a surprise guest<\/a> at the final gig in Jay-Z\u2019s run of Yankee Stadium shows, popping out at the Extra Innings Concert on July 12. She popped out to perform \u201cRun This Town\u201d and B\u2013ch Better Have My Money\u201d at the gig, her first public performance since Super Bowl LVII three years ago.<\/p>\n
