Rihanna looks incredible in eye-popping nude shapewear and a series of lingerie-clad looks for risqué Vogue Australia shoot

She's a global phenomenon, known for her sex appeal and musical prowess.

And Rihanna exuded confidence as she graced the cover of Vogue Australia's May 2019 issue, while stripping down to racy lingerie that highlighted her ample cleavage and toned legs while also displaying her design prowess as she wore her own range.

The 31-year-old did not just wow in the sexy looks but also showed about her philanthropic side as Australia's first-ever female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, speaks about recruiting Rihanna as an ambassador for her global education crusade.

Rihanna was sure to put her famous figure on display in a nude bustier from her own label Savage x Fenty as she made the most of her eye-popping curves.

The singer boosted her height with white pointy-toe heels and draped an over-sized black trench coat over her shoulders to just about protect her modesty.

Her locks were secured in braids while she added a further pop of glamour to the already incredible look with her chunky hoop earrings.

Rihanna was seen stretching out her lithe frame while holding onto her black stiletto heels in what was yet again making the most of her curves.

Gillard, 57, is an honorary chairwoman for the Global Partnership for Education. The unlikely duo met in New York over a casual dinner, and have since visited schools together in Malawi in East Africa.  

Speaking about the star, the politician said: 'I believe Rihanna sees education as a real enabler. She left school young because she was discovered young, so she's conscious that she didn't finish her own schooling...

'She talked to me about her brothers and how determined she'd been that they finished school, so I think she's got this very personal sense that individual education really matters.'

Speaking previously about her role, Rihanna said: 'I feel strongly that all children everywhere should be afforded the opportunity of a quality education... 

'Therefore I'm proud to announce Clara Lionel Foundation's partnership with education advocacy leaders like the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen...

'Working together, I know we can amplify our efforts and ensure that millions of children gain access to education globally."
