Golden glow: Rihanna flaunts her jewellery (as well as her bikini figure) as she relaxes on a sunlounger Barbados

She scored one of her biggest hits with the jewellery themed Diamonds.

But Rihanna was dripping with gold in a saucy new photograph showing her relaxing in a barely-there bikini top on a sunlounger in her native Barbados.

She posted the image on her Instagram account on Friday, and it was not long before it had generated thousands of likes.

While she teasingly captioned the image simply, 'errthang,' the Charlie by Matthew Zink official Instagram page revealed she was wearing one of the firm's yellow grecian coin bikinis as she enjoyed the charming locales of her native island.

While she is no doubt coining it from her litany of endorsements, it seems the Barbadian beauty still likes to splash the cash.

For her shopping expedition, RiRi wore a long black dress which was cinched in at the waist as the material was twisted into a delicate knot.

Slightly sheer the dress featured a strapless lining that ensured the songstress was much more covered up than usual.

Mixing things up a bit, Rihanna wore the look with a pair of simple white sneakers and a black baseball cap.
