Rihanna has posed topless for Italian Vogue

The 'Umbrella' singer has taken part in a raunchy photoshoot with famed fashion photographer Steven Klein for the magazine's annual couture supplement.

The Grace Jones-inspired cover of the special publication sees the star clad in a structural feathered Valentino gown and patent knee-high boots, throwing a bucket of water at the camera.

Inside, the daring pictures see the 'S.O.S.' star clad in just skimpy pants, with glitter covering her chest.
