Rihanna dabs her face with a tissue as she returns to Barbados for emotional family christening... after hitting out at her exes on Instagram

Rihanna returned to her hometown of Bridgetown, Barbados for the christening of her cousin Nikolai over the weekend.

The 28-year-old Work singer looked phenomenal in a white skintight dress for the family function, but dabbed her face with a tissue as the heat appeared to get the better of her during the emotional ceremony. 

Her display came after she appeared to throw shade at her exes, posting an Instagram message which read: 'None of my exs are married or in happy relationships so it's safe to say that I wasn't da problem lol' (sic).

Steal the show in silver like Rihanna

Rihanna saw the silver lining while returning home to Barbados in a white dress and decadent Dior accessories. As a Dior muse, it's no wonder the singer has all of the latest gear. Riri is seen toting around a limited addition Marc Quinn collaboration bag.

Marc Quinn, British artist, created a 10 piece line to mark the opening of the new London Dior location. Unfortunately, this also means they are limited edition and unavailable online, but check right for other styles!

This gorgeous bag may be little, but it packs a big punch! The orchid motif is masterfully embossed onto the silver leather frame of the petite bag. We would love to carry our essentials in this tiny tote for a night out!
