Red top Rihanna plays it straight

Straight and narrow ... Rihanna

RIHANNA played it straight during a visit to a lingerie shop in Australia yesterday.

The Bajan beauty hit the underwear store in Sydney's Pitt Street Mall with her scarlet locks straightened to perfection.
She coupled the streamlined look with a plunging black shirt-dress, which left her shiny pins on show.
It's a far stronger look than the Sideshow Bob-style fright-perm she was rocking earlier this year.
And most welcome too.

The singer's single S&M is currently No1 in the Australian singles chart, and she's in the country to perform two shows.

And according to reports she is also being paid just over £30,000 to appear at Helm Bar in Sydney on Saturday night for a meet and greet after her show on Saturday.
It has also been reported that the 23-year-old will attend the city's Mardi Gras parade this weekend as well.
However both her tour promoter and music label have denied she will make a surprise appearance at either the parade or the official after-party at Hordern Pavilion.
Shame that, I can imagine she'd come up with quite an outfit for that appearance.
