Rihanna is a Gangsta Goth Geisha in ‘Princess of China’ Pics

Rihanna is a bad, bad girl, and not just because she tells us so with her badgalriri handle for Instagram. In the photos she shared while shooting the video for ‘Princess of China,’ her duet with Coldplay, Ri is blowing smoke, flipping the bird and looking all gangsta goth geisha.

In one shot, Ri uses her mouth suggestively to create a smoke ring. She uses the #thuglife hash tag, too.  Check out those eyelashes. In another, she’s rocking an ornate geisha hairstyle/head piece. That thing looks like it could hurt someone. We can’t stop staring at her mega lashes, either. The looks are dramatic and bold.

She flips the bird in another shot, wearing a long, black, strapless dress, with her hair carefully designed atop her head. The dress has an up-to-their slit, where she shows off her shapely and toned legs.

If Rihanna is the Princess of China, then we accept her as one of our sovereigns. We’re not worthy. Judging by the costuming in these shots, we’re in for one helluva a video with ‘Princess of China.’ It begs the question, though. Is Chris Martin dressing up?
