Rihanna sent her fans into a frenzy after sharing a series of sizzling new underwear photos. The 38-year-old singer and entrepreneur modeled a black floral lace corset and coordinating thong from her Savage X Fenty label for the striking shoot, which she shared with her millions of Instagram followers on Tuesday.
Posing against white walls and a vivid blue sky, Rihanna showed off her curves in the colorful embroidered corset, which featured delicate lace trim, structured cups and ribbon lacing running down the back.
The mom-of-three wore her long dark hair in a voluminous half-up style and completed the look with gold jewelry, her signature tattoos and a bold red lip.
"Summer over…but still got pics to post," she cheekily captioned the carousel, which quickly amassed more than two million likes.

Rihanna's famous friends react
Unsurprisingly, the photographs prompted quite the reaction. Scandal actress Kerry Washington was among the famous faces commenting, simply declaring: "QUEEN."
Another follower appeared equally overwhelmed by the photos, writing: "CALM DOWN MOM IT'S STILL MORNING, YOU SERVING THIS DELIVERY LOVE U."
Fans also celebrated Rihanna's famous curves, with one declaring: "Natural bodies will always win," while another wrote: "PERFECTION EXISTS, IT'S RIHANNA."

Rihanna's approach to body confidence
While Rihanna has rarely spoken about her body in terms of trying to achieve a particular size, she has been vocal about embracing it through its different stages.
That attitude was particularly apparent during her first pregnancy in 2022, when she famously rejected the idea that she should suddenly start covering up as her body changed.
"My body is doing incredible things right now, and I'm not going to be ashamed of that," she told Vogue. "This time should feel celebratory."

A year later, she shared photographs from a maternity shoot and reflected on "the magic that this body made" while pregnant with her eldest son RZA.
It's a philosophy that has also shaped Savage X Fenty. Rihanna has long rejected the idea that lingerie should be designed or marketed around one particular body type.
"We always want to include women who haven't felt sexy by society's terms and expectations," she previously told Vogue, adding that she wanted women to feel that the brand was a "safe space."
When it comes to casting, Rihanna was equally unequivocal: "I don't care about size, shape, or color; I embrace all types of women."
What Rihanna eats
Rihanna's approach to food appears similarly relaxed. Her longtime personal chef, Debbie Solomon, previously revealed that the superstar doesn't follow a rigid weekly menu. Instead, Debbie finds out what Rihanna is in the mood for on any particular day and builds her meals around that.
Her Barbadian upbringing also plays a major part in what she eats. Debbie told Bon Appétit that she had to familiarize herself with some of Rihanna's favorite Bajan and Guyanese dishes, even receiving help from the singer's mom to recreate the flavors she grew up with.
Her kitchen staples reportedly include plenty of Caribbean seasonings and fresh ingredients, while Rihanna's meals can range from fish, chicken and lamb to rice, vegetables and traditional Caribbean dishes.
The arrangement is far removed from a restrictive celebrity diet. Debbie explained that there isn't a set menu handed to Rihanna at the beginning of each week. What she wants can depend entirely on her mood that day.

Becoming a mom has also altered Rihanna's relationship with rest and her physical limits. After welcoming RZA in 2022, she admitted that the exhaustion of motherhood was unlike anything she had experienced before.
"I used to get tired and just push through and keep going," she told Vogue. Motherhood, however, introduced her to a different kind of fatigue where "your body is shutting down."
Despite that adjustment, she described motherhood as "lovely" and "epic," and said becoming a parent had left her feeling capable of taking on new challenges.
And when it comes to her wider approach to wellbeing, Rihanna has previously emphasized that feeling good isn't simply about appearance. During a rare discussion about slowing down and finding balance, she revealed that she had learned to pay closer attention to the things that genuinely make her happy.
"I'm paying attention to what makes me happy, appreciating the little things," she told Vogue, explaining that finding "peace" and "happiness" allowed everything else in her life to flow more naturally.
