Well, she does like to get high! Rihanna flashes some side-boob as she goes parasailing during time off in Monte Carlo

She has made no secret about being in favour of legalising marijuana and she regularly posts pictures of herself enjoying suspicious looking cigarettes. 
But last week Rihanna decided to get high in rather a different kind of way as she literally found herself high above the sea in Monte Carlo.
Showing her fun-loving side the 25-year-old tied up her vest and slipped into a harness as she gave parasailing a go with a pal.

High flying: Rihanna was seen getting her kicks parasailing in Monte Carlo last week

Head back: Rihanna threw her head back to get the full effect of the parasailing

Smiles: The star couldn't stop smiling as she floated above the sea with the help of the parachute

However while she may appear to be fearless most of the time, it looked as if she may have been enjoying a cocktail or two for Dutch courage.

Wearing a pair of black bikini bottoms, which had Charlie emblazoned accross the back, the star looked very laid-back.
Beneath her vest it was unclear whether she was wearing a bikini top as tattoos could be seen but not much else.

No top: Rihanna didn't appear to be wearing a bikini top beneath her vest

Making the most: Rihanna certainly likes to make the most of any time she has and to try new things

If you don't want a one piece, or a cut out or some high waisted retro shorts, then keep it simple with the most classic of beachwear - a black bikini with side tie strings. It's easy to wear, there are plenty around to choose from and you'll know you're in fashion when you walk out on the beach.

It's not hard to find out where Rihanna got her little black number from. With 'Charlie' emblazoned across the bottoms (and her bottom) they could only be from New York based luxe swimwear designer Charlie by Matthew Zink. RiRi has also been seen wearing a Charlie one piece swimsuit while on holiday in Monaco. Get yours now by clicking the link (right) to buy.

And as she geared up to get on the harness she simply tied the vest dress up rather than taking it off completely.
Sipping on a fruity looking cocktail in a martini glass, the Diamonds singer showed off her bright red talons.
Her hair, which is currently long, was tied back off her face in a casual plait, so when she headed up in the air no wisps would fall over her face.

Once in the air she looked like she was having the time of life, laughing and joking away with a pal, as her legs dangled above the sea.
It certainly looked to be a fun packed mini break as the next day she was joined by her new BFF Cara Delevingne. 
The pair are thought to have blown  £300,000 on hiring a super-yacht to ferry them around the French Riviera, with a further £200,000 set aside for restaurant and nightclub bills.

But as always Rihanna works as hard as she plays and spent the weekend performing at a couple of festivals. 
On Saturday she delighted Scottish fans as she performed in an oversized tiger-print playsuit at T In The Park Festival.
According to reports, Rihanna arrived at the festival with a 100-strong entourage.

A source told the Daily Record: 'They’ve always called the backstage area the artists’ village and this time, with Rihanna and all her crew, it actually was.
'A normal tour can have in excess of 200 people and because T in the Park takes place during her Diamonds World Tour, she decided to bring a large number along.'
