Rihanna flashes her nipples in see-through metallic dress for edgy Dior shoot

The 27-year-old showed off her style icon status in a new editorial spread for the French fashion house’s magazine, causing a social media frenzy with the striking images.

The singer, who has appeared in ads for Dior previously, is seen wearing a mesh dress and jacket as well as a multicolored leotard.

The shoot, by photographer Craig McDean, sees Rihanna pull out her most seductive poses yet at she pouts down the lens wearing lashings of dark lippy.

The star usually lets the world know when she’s into something – from fan art of her RiRi by Rihanna fragrance to people when they’ve crossed the line – by posting on her Instagram page.

In a new interview with E! We get to hang out every now and again…otherwise, we’re just good friends’.

The 27-year old must have really enjoyed what she saw because she could not wait to reveal her devotees and give the finest look to them.

She has already released singles FourFiveSeconds, a collaboration with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, and B**ch Better Have My Money, but has reportedly been left unhappy about a lack of potential mega-hits among her new material and has chose to scrap most of the songs.
