At her most risqué! Rihanna exposes her naked derriere as she gets down on all fours for racy photo shoot

Rihanna loves to get naked and exposes her fabulous body all the time in Instagrams.

The sexy singer cranked up the heat by showing off her beautiful - and totally bare - booty in all its glory during a steamy photo shoot on a balcony in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

Rihanna - who apparently was posing for a French magazine - was wearing only a skimpy white, short-cropped top and no bikini bottoms.

The 26-year-old Barbadian beauty arrived on the set wearing a black robe but shrugged it off once she reached her mark on the balcony of a house perched high on a hill amidst palm trees.

Then, wearing just that top and no bottoms, Rihanna crouched down on hands and knees and raised her rump high in the air, her feet still clad in white trainers.

An assistant poured water down her back to give her skin a silky sheen as Rihanna waited, poised in her position.

Another photo shoot staffer held a magazine picture up for Rihanna to see, perhaps as an inspiration.

Rihanna didn't seem to need any help getting in the mood, as she appeared to be enjoying every minute of it.

The paler outlines of her skin where her bikini briefs should have been were a contrast to the rest of her skin tone and her long, waving hair cascaded around her shoulders in a sexy way.

More please: Rihanna waited patiently in position as her helpful crew member spritzed her upper back as well

This can get even higher: Rihanna showed how limber she really is by raising her rump a few inches higher

Face down, derriere up: The singer didn't seem tired at all and kept up the act like a pro

Rihanna turned her head to look over her shoulders through the glass wall of the balcony, a smouldering expression on her face.

The entertainer wore make-up in natural hues while her lips showed no trace of colour at all.

Her nails were long with pale French tips and assorted rings decorated her fingers.

All work, a little play: Rihanna likes to get naked a lot in Instagrams so this job must not have been too difficult

Setting the scene: The photo shoot took place on a glass-enclosed balcony at a residence high up in the hills overlooking Los Angeles

During breaks in the shoot, Rihanna rested by sitting on her haunches and as crew walked past her seemingly oblivious to her half-naked state.

It was a warm spring day and Rihanna was obviously grateful for any breezes that happened to blow her way.

Once the long and exhausting shoot was done, the assistant held up Rihanna's black robe and she slipped back into the garment.

Later that day, Rihanna put on a blue and black-striped outfit to watch the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Her boyfriend Drake was also at the game and the two musicians were seen sharing a hug once the game was over.
