Making a habit of it! Rihanna goes braless once again as she enjoys casual outing in pretty purple sundress

She showed off more than she bargained for when she donned a slinky sheer dress during a night out in The Hamptons over the weekend.

And Rihanna was up to her old tricks again on Monday morning as she returned to her New York City apartment, once again forgoing underwear.

The 27-year-old Bajan beauty flashed her nipples by going braless under her tiered purple sundress with a peplum waist.

Rihanna attempted to keep a low profile by piling her curls on top of her head and donning a pair of white-rimmed cat eye sunglasses.

She dressed up the look with her favourite layered necklaces and a pink handbag with chain detailing.

A pair of flat white trainers completed her look and she carried her dog Pepe in a matching holdall.

Look easy breezy like RiRi in embroidered shorts by Isabel Marant

We're used to seeing her in dramatic creations on the red carpet (remember her Met Gala gown?) or in barely there slip dresses on nights out. But this is how to do dressed down days Rihanna style!

The diva went matchy matchy for her stroll around the Big Apple, teaming a lilac top and shorts with a pair of Puma trainers, a Dior bag and some statement sunglasses by Adam Selman x Le Specs.

We love the lilac hue and broderie anglaise detailing on this combo, which is by Étoile Isabel Marant. Just think how chic some shorts like Rihanna's would look on holiday as a beach cover-up with a bikini top, then with a white shirt tucked in for evening.

Want to replicate RiRi? Both her cute cami top and shorts are now sold out, but this little lilac dress from Asos is our top pick. Or if you're totally over the co-ord craze then why not steal her style with the embroidered styles we found by Zimmermann, Target or American Eagle?

The star adopted the bundle of fluff last month after finding him in the bathroom of her favourite West Hollywood haunt, 1OAK.

She was instantly smitten with the adorable pooch, explaining that she decided to take him home when he ran straight up to her.

Rihanna is no stranger to flashing her assets and has forgone a bra on many occasions, whether it be on a casual night out or on the red carpet.

She believes it's important to take fashion risks and admits her dress sense becomes more daring the more she evolves as an artist.

'I feel like my image evolves as I evolve as a woman. With growth, there’s change', she told News.com.au.

'My style is a reflection of my mood, my attitude wherever I am at, and you can see how it’s evolved since the beginning of my career just from my videos, snd style is a huge part of that attitude.'
