Work hard, play hard: Rihanna hides signs of tiredness with heavy make-up during photo-shoot after partying until dawn at Barbados Carnival

Most people struggle to get out of bed following a big night on the town.
But for Rihanna it seems to be a walk in the park, or the beach in this case, as she headed to a photo-shoot on Saturday in Barbados despite the fact she only rolled home at 6am that very same day.
Showing her impressive work ethic the singer looked nothing short of amazing, albeit with plenty of make-up,  as she turned up the heat in a sultry and sophisticated shoot - looking a million miles from the party animal who ‘dutty wined’ her way through Barbados Carnival just hours before.

She's made up: Rihanna was spotted taking part in a photo-shoot hours after partying at Barbados Carnival on Saturday morning

Switched on: Despite rolling home in the early hours of the morning  Rihanna put on a professional performance during the shoot

Standing amongst rocks with the ocean as her backdrop the star wore a knee-length white skirt with a long-sleeved cropped white top.
The simple yet stylish ensemble featured a collection of pearls in place of a belt, while the only other accessory she wore was a pair of gold hoop earrings and a couple of rings.
The white ensemble worked perfectly against the 25-year-old’s skin tone and showed off her impressive abs and famous figure.

Sizzling: Rihanna showed off her stomach in the white long sleeved top which was cropped

Sorted: A stylist for the singer adjusted the pearl detail around her waist

Working it: The 25-year-old had no trouble switching on the sex appeal after her night on the town

Home town: Rihanna was no doubt delighted to be doing the shoot in her home town

Completing her look was her newly-styled hair – soft curls cut into a short and natural looking ‘do. 
The Diamonds signer only debuted her new look on Thursday and the shoot was her first opportunity to properly show it off. 
Adding to the demure nature of the cut the beauty smouldered wearing dark eyeliner to accentuate her almond shaped eyes. 

Showcase: The shoot was a great chance to show off her newly cut hair which was styled in natural waves

Wide eyed: The star's eyes had been accentuated with plenty of black eye-liner

Sultry: Rihanna has perfected the art of gazing over the years which she didn't hesitate to showcase

Still feeling the music: Rihanna appeared to be clicking away as she had her picture taken

Taking to Twitter when she just woke up on Saturday following Crop Over Festival Foreday Morning Jam, she wrote:  ‘Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in de street all morning!!! #Barbados #FOREDAYmorning CROP OVA almost here! #heauxm’
And shortly after it was back to business as usual with her tweeting: ‘And on that note, glam starts NOW!!! New cover shoot today! I got a hustler spirit n****, PERIOD.’
It is unclear at this stage what the shoot was for however she certainly seemed eager to get started and once in work mode she switched on the style immediately pulling a variety of sexy poses.

Smiles: The star seemed happy to be taking part in the cover shoot, although it's unclear what it's for

Fun: The singer showed that nothing could stop her from putting plenty of energy into her shoot

Break time: Rihanna looked a little tired when she finally got the chance to sit down

  

Rihanna was spotted letting loose in the early hours of Saturday morning in the island’s capital Bridgetown, accompanied by two security guards.
The singer looked typically striking in a nearly sheer white monokini, decorated with sparkling metallic panels.
Green face paint, blue and silver sunglasses, practical baseball boots and a white veil over her new short curly hairdo completed the look.

But being one of the most in demand popstars in the world means that while one aspect of her job may currently be hold – there’s always work to be done. 
She will travel east next month for shows in Macau, Manila and Singapore.

It's a little bit breezy: Isla Fisher has trouble keeping her skirt at bay in the wind as she steps out with husband Sacha Baron Cohen

She is famous for her porcelain skin, but Isla Fisher accidentally exposed a bit too much flesh as she struggled to keep her skirt at bay in the wind.
The 37-year-old was out in North London with her husband of three years, Sacha Baron Cohen, when she was seen getting out of the family car alongside her two daughters, Olive, five, and Elula, two, on Saturday.
But as she helped her children out of their white car the wind blew the Australian actress's skirt up and flashed her tiny, pert bottom in a pair of grey knickers.

Flashing: Isla Fisher was spotted out with husband Sacha Baron Cohen in North London but had trouble keeping her skirt at bay

Despite the mishap, Isla still looked effortlessly stylish in a sleeveless, light denim jacket and a short paisley print dress which exposed her toned legs.
Her infamous red hair was plaited to one side in a loose pigtail and finished off the outfit with a pair of drop earrings, and black Roman sandals.
Isla, who was born to Scottish parents, born in Oman but raised in Perth, has been hot on the film scene recently having starred as Myrtle Wilson in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and Henley Reeves in Now You See Me.

The look was a far cry from his alter-ego, Ali G, Borat or Bruno, but with a flecks of grey in his beard it appears the 41-year-old is fitting into his role as supportive father.

Lauren Silverman looked despondent today as she took a break from the crisis talks with her husband to buy some toys for her son.

Mrs Silverman, who is pregnant with Simon Cowell's baby, put her hands on the counter of the toy store and stared into space - looking like she had a weight on her shoulders.

Her stare was only broken when she saw her son Adam, seven, come to her side and she broke into a smile and stared at him.

Lauren had taken Adam away from her $4million home in Bridgehampton, New York as a break from crisis talks with her husband Andrew on her affair with Cowell.

They left around 10am in a Range Rover being driven by her handler and drove for five minutes to a nearby shopping center where they went into a shop called Second Star Toys.

Lauren browsed for a few minutes before taking a large box of Legos to the counter.

Putting on a happy face: Silverman purchased some Legos for her son Adam

She could be heard apologizing to staff for all the attention she was getting and was led out the back door where the Range Rover was waiting.

Lauren was dressed casually in a loose fitting white shirt with a red pattern on it, dark-colored shorts and tan gladiator sandals.

So much for a vacation: Silverman looked tired and distant as she shopped the Hamptons toy store

A woman who works at Second Star Toys declined to comment after she had left.

The singer, 31, and England rugby star Ben, 28, were among the guests of a fundraiser for Niamh's Next Step - of which the sportsman is a patron.

Doing their bit: Ben Foden and Una Healy arrive at the Niamh's Next Step Charity Gala Ball in Whittlebury Hall, Northamptonshire on Saturday night

The Charity Gala Ball at Whittlebury Hall was raising money for a charity in memory of local girl Niamh Curry, who was just five years old when she died of Neuroblastoma - an aggressive form cancer that mainly affects children - last year.
The charity was originally upset to fundraise Niamh's treatment, however the money now goes to fellow sufferers of the disease and helps raise awareness of it.
Following the 'lounge suits and summer frocks' dress code, Una showed off her svelte figure in a yellow and purple floral dress, which she teamed with a pair of leather high-heels.

Date night: The couple were enjoying an evening off parenting duties off their daughter Aoife

Important: Ben is a patron of the Niamh's Next Step charity

Her husband Ben looked smart in a dark blue suit and light blue shirt as he posed at the bash with his stunning wife.
Inside the event, which featured an auction, Una had some fun in a photobooth with Niamh's mother Sam and their friend Becky Dickson.
She Instagrammed a photo of the three in wigs and hats, joking: 'Just joined a new girl band #niamhsnextstep @samcurry75 @bdickson6.'

Don't mess up your hair! It didn't look like Una had spent too long coiffing her hair as she pushed it out of her face

Back to business: Denise Van Outen keeps her head down and returns to work following her split from Lee Mead

She has been spotted looking considerably glum on a number of occasions following her split from husband of four years, Leed Mead, but Denise Van Outen did not let her radio fans down as it was back to work as usual.
The former Big Breakfast presenter has had her own Saturday afternoon show on London's Magic 105.4 between 1pm and 3pm since Spring this year, and arrived home after the show looking as glamorous as ever.
The 39-year-old looked elegant in a cream shift dress, which accentuated her sun-kissed legs and arms which were perfectly toned.

Back to business: Denise Van Outen arrives home from her radio show and is keeping busy following her split from Lee Mead

The Essex girl accessorised her sophisticated outfit with a black Chanel purse, strappy black wedge heels and a pair of dark sunglasses.
Her golden blonde locks were perfectly blow-dried straight and her skin looked flawless as she arrived home on Saturday.
Denise's driver presented her with an impressive bunch of lillies, a bouquet which might have been from a close friend following her ill-fated break-up.

Still glum: Denise Van Outen arrives home in a chauffeur-driven car but still looks glum after her split from Lee Mead

Delivery: Denise was sent a beautiful bunch of lillies to her house on Saturday, which may have been to cheer her up after her split from Lee Mead

Denise's news came after her spokesperson confirmed the split to MailOnline last week, adding: 'The couple remain the best of friends, with their daughter Betsy as their number one priority. The family ask for privacy at this time.'

The couple, who have been dogged by rumours of marital trouble for months, split shortly after Lee returned home from the US in May and the actor has since moved out of their London home, according to reports.

Denise and Lee were last pictured together just last weekend when they attended Tickety Toc launch at Hamleys toy store with Betsy, three, on July 21.

Separated but still looking good: Denise rocked the sophisticated look in a cream shift dress, black wedges, a Chanel purse and shades as she arrived back home following her Magic FM show on Saturday

The pair have rarely been seen together over the last few months owing to difficult work schedules and it's this separation which was the catalyst for the split, according to reports.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: 'They're going their separate ways. It's very sad but they have grown apart.

'They hardly saw each other over the last nine months because of their work commitments. The distance just became too difficult to overcome. They have grown apart - and fallen out of love.'

Denise and musical theatre actor Lee, 32, met in 2007 when he was a contestant on the BBC show Any Dream Will Do, and Basildon-born presenter was a judge on the show, which Lee went on to win, and the pair later revealed their relationship.

Smile please: She may still be looking fabulous in ultra stylish ensembles, but Denise has yet to smile following her break-up from husband Lee Mead

The couple wed in the Seychelles in 2009, with just 12 guests present and shortly after their wedding the pair revealed they were expecting their first child together.

While Lee has been pursuing a career in the US, Denise was busy working on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK.

In April, Denise defended the couple's marriage on ITV1's Daybreak, explaining the couple spend time apart because they don't have a nanny to look after their daughter, Betsy.

They looked like a happy family: Denise Van Outen, Lee Mead and daughter Betsy Mead, at Tickey Toc toy launch where they were last pictured together on July 21
