Before performing for a cool $500K at the Emirates Palace Hotel, the usually provocative songstress was told to keep the skin flashing to a minimum.
And this is what Rihanna came up with.
RiRi started off the show almost covered from head to toe, minus her the fabric bare pants that are very similar to her AMA performance outfit.
Later, Rihanna shed her metallic high shoulder jacket (sans spikes for once) to show off some cleavage and a hint of midriff.
It may be toned down, but still pretty risqué for Abu Dahbi standards.
