Lately her stage outfits have caused controversy whether she is covered up or flashing the flesh.

But Rihanna brought a taste of the Caribbean to the stage on Saturday night with a matchy matchy combo of army style jacket, vest and bermuda style shorts in a vibrant island camouflage print.

The tropical pattern combined floral designs with animal print and brightened up the stage as she performed to an open air audience in the Dominican Republic on her Diamonds world tour.

The 25-year-old seems to be matching her stage looks to the culture of her performances - covering up her body in the Muslim city of Abu Dhabi and getting into island spirits in the Dominican Republic.

But she has certainly never worn what look like swimming shorts on stage before.

Ahead of the magazine’s release, Rihanna tweeted about the provocative cover, referring to the shot as making her look like Greek goddess Medusa.

Medusa is a mythological monster who has snakes instead of hair and turned any man who looked at her to stone.
