Rihanna on Monday stayed true to her Bajan origin as she flaunted her assets for the the annual Crop Over Festival celebration in her home country Barbados.

The 29-year-old donned the skimpiest of bejeweled bikinis with matching garters and outrageous plumed wings for the colorful harvest celebration.

She kept her fans updated with her activities as she posted to her Instagram stories a series of snaps that showcased her phenomenal figure.

Flaunting her ample cleavage, the ‘Wild Thoughts’ crooner donned a tiny bejewelled bikini top that she teamed with equally skimpy brief and glittering fishnet tights. She complemented the look with her dramatic teal hair and makeup.

She captioned one of her photos ‘who ready 4 de road?’ a lyric from her Bunji Garlin song for the Kadoomet Day event.

WHAT IS THE CROP OVER FESTIVAL?

The Crop Over summer festival is Barbados’ most popular and colourful festival. Its origins can be traced back to the 1780’s, a time when Barbados was the world’s largest producer of sugar.

At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest – the Crop Over celebration.

As the sugar industry in Barbados declined so too did the Crop Over festival and in the 1940s the festival was terminated completely, partially also due to due mostly to WWII.

However, the festival was revived in 1974 and other elements of Barbadian culture were infused to create the extravaganza that exists today: an event that attracts thousands of people from across the globe.

It was formerly called Harvest Home and ever since its inception has featured singing, dancing and accompaniment by bottles filled with water, shak-shak, banjo, triangle, fiddle, guitar, and bones.

Other traditions included climbing a greased pole, feasting and drinking competitions. Beginning in June, Crop Over runs until the first Monday in August when it culminates in the finale, The Grand Kadooment.
