Rihanna's Bad-Girl Image: Is it for the Breast?

Rihanna raised eyebrows once again after stepping out in New York in a see-through top revealing her breasts.

The We Found Love singer was happy to bare all for dinner with friends at upmarket Italian restaurant Da Silvano.

Dressed in a black mesh pullover that exposed her breasts and nipples, a pair of ripped denims and boots, she relished the attention.

But it appears that the 24-year-old singer may have gone too far this time with some fans saying she crossed the line from sexy to crude.

One fan said: "None of my female friends would be caught dead in that horrendous outfit. What happened, Rihanna? Those cheesy jeans and boots. Huh? Too stoned to figure it out that night?"

Another wrote: "Another Britney/Lohan/Cyrus train wreck in the works."

The singer has continued to live up to her good-girl-gone-bad reputation in recent weeks by collaborating with former lover Chris Brown, who was sentenced three years ago for assaulting her.

She also posted provocative snaps of herself on Twitter despite calls to tone down her raunchy image.

Rihanna's former religious mentor in her Barbados homeland, Bishop Vibert Lowe, told the Sun: "A lot of people have been praying for her and hoping she will drop these bad habits.

"We feel it's wrong for her to behave like this. As a young lady she's not setting a good example.

"Young people look to her as a mentor, they regard her as an idol and copy her lifestyle," he added.
