She is used to taking to the stage in various states of undress, showing off her legs, bum and tum.

But when it came to performing in Morocco on Friday evening Rihanna tried to adhere to the more conservative style of the predominately Muslim country.

However despite covering up in what resembled a doctor’s coat, the singer still managed to flash her midriff as she set the stage alight at Mawazine Festival in Rabat.

And in true Rihanna style she managed to turn the over-sized and unflattering silk-like coat into something rather sexy.

Wearing her trademark thigh-high boots with black leggings, the 25-year-old strutted her stuff on stage.

As the coat flapped about she revealed her crop top underneath and her toned stomach.

Raunchy: Although she covered up in a coat, her midriff could be seen beneath

Her blonde hair had been styled in loose curls, and she wore her favourite red lipstick which matched her nails.

Completing her look she wore a chunky silver necklace, bracelet and belt, while she covered her eyes with a pair of plastic rimmed oval sunglasses.

The Diamonds signer looked delighted to be opening Morocco’s’ largest music festival, which will see the likes of Jessie J, Mika, David Guetta and Enrique Inglesias perform over the next few days.

Her performance also marked the start of the European leg of her world tour, which will see her heading to Spain next before arriving in the UK on June 10th.

As she arrived in Morocco, Rihanna slipped into an Arab-inspired outfit to take a couple of pictures for her Twitter followers.

Covering up she wore a leopard print burqa underneath a backward snapback cap, while keeping her shades on.

Stage presence: Rihanna made sure she literally took centre stage with her powerful performance

Tweeting a couple of pictures of her get-up, she wrote: ‘Guess who's back in #MOROCCO’

Her make-shift burqa appeared to be inspired by a look seen on Jeremy Scott’s spring 2013 NYFW show, which saw a model walk with a leopard print burqa.

The covered up look was a far cry from a snap she posted earlier in the week which showed her wearing a pink lacy thong, underneath what was merely the skeleton of a pair of denim shorts.

Rihanna's provocative gesture was rather timely, as rumours that her ex – Chris Brown- has been gallivanting about with Karrueche again have been running rampant of late.

Karrueche lit the fire with a raunchy Instagram upload on Saturday, her birthday: a snap of her thrusting her naked bottom into the Chris' face.

She's a very sexy girl, but I just think she is brain dead, lacking in the IQ department.

Her mate Melissa is now skinnier than her, to the point where she looks a bit ill.

Her head is an odd shape and she has Chris tracks on her.

I like her music and she's very pretty with an amazing figure but I'm always left disappointed when she performs, like bored, it doesn't ever look or sound like she's making much of an effort, notice it's always her hair and outfits making headlines...and her silly Chris Brown problems
