Ahoy! Shiver Me Timbers! Arrr! etc - it's Rihanna wearing a pirate-style eye-patch while filming her new video in New York.

The Umbrella star's ship-shape facial accessory completed a typically high-fashion ensemble of grey tweed coat, fishnet stockings, thigh-high black leather-look boots and suspenders.

The singer's fierceness showed no sign of flagging as she performed for the camera on a bridge and in a tunnel close to the New Jersey border through the night until 7am in the morning.

Meanwhile, Rihanna's new solo single (following her recent collaboration with Kanye West and Jay-Z) is expected to debut tomorrow - so watch this space!
