Bad gal RiRi turned up the heat again on American Idol when she returned for the show's eleventh season finale.

Giving her Navy a sneak peek of her American Idol attire, Rihanna instagrammed a picture of her new dreadlock-do, causing an uproar on Twitter.

In an elaborate production, Rihanna came out on Idol with an army of dancers and an array of stage props.

RiRi performed her Talk That Talk hit single "Where Have You Been" as the crowd went absolutely crazy.

Busting out her tribal-inspired dance moves, RiRi hypnotized the audience when she winded her hips with Caribbean ease.

Besides touring, Rihanna's been living the good life and partying with her Roc Nation family in London.

After a few more tour dates, Rihanna may be taking a break from the road to enjoy her success.
