Rihanna appears topless in a stunning new photoshoot for Italian Vogue.

Channelling Grace Jones at her most eccentrically decadent, the Umbrella singer posed for photographer Steven Klein for the style bible’s annual couture supplement.

For the 'Extreme Couture' spread Rihanna does futurist punk in PVC boots, teamed with sparkly underwear, sharp shoulders, and with her trademark high hair dangerously sculpted.

In one striking image, she dares to bare in boots, skimpy panties, an open jacket - and little else.
