Crop Over is one of our favorite times of the year. The melanin, the celebration, the culture, and the costumes; oh my. Rihanna popped out for Barbados Grand Kadooment Day in an ornate costume draped in colorful jewels and feathers. The Bajan beauty was seen partying with her brother’s band, Aura Experience, TMZ reports.
Ri Ri could be seen busting a whine in the intricate costume alongside the Queen of the Dancehall Spice, who shared footage on social media. She captioned a carousel of video and pictures, “Barbados Crop Over with @badgalriri will forever be a moment I’ll never forget. @spice_bestieweekend another one for the books.” She also promoted her upcoming single that drops on Friday.
Spice also wore a majestic costume designed by Lauren Austin. Austin made Rihanna’s costume and the one Chloe Bailey wore to Saint Lucia Carnival, a few weeks ago. Rihanna’s best friend Melissa showed off her slim frame in a golden costume.
Rihanna is considered a national hero and she plays mas every year, except last year, when she missed the festivities but she returned with that island energy. Clips from fans show Ri Ri having a good time vibing out to the music, showing off her postpartum frame and enjoying the experience.
