Rihanna Returns to Barbados for Crop Over Festival
Rihanna returned to her native Barbados for the Crop Over festival.
The singer stunned in a mini dress covered in pink feathers while attending the annual Kadooment Day parade, celebrating the end of the sugar cane harvest. She also sported bantu knots, pink and silver heels, and bedazzled sunglasses, completing the look with a mango, which she carried as an accessory. She waved to fans and blew kisses as she made her way down the parade route.

While she skipped last year’s festival, Rihanna has been a regular fixture at past parades. On Sunday, she received a warm welcome home as she was greeted by Bajan officials, a tuk band, and costumed dancers, before heading to Zirque Carnival at Nikki Beach.
