Rihanna was clearly in the mood for love as she appeared on the set of her new video.
The Bajan singer ditched her usual edgy, scantily-clad outfits for a romantic, flowing maxi dress as she shot the promo for her new single Te Amo.
Currently in France for her Last Girl On Earth world tour, Rihanna took time out of gigging to film the video in the scenic location of a French château.
After performing at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on Wednesday night, Rihanna was up bright and early the following morning to shoot the promo at a château in the nearby town of Vigny.
With manicured grounds, surrounded by fog against the backdrop of the 16th century castle, Rihanna looked every inch the romantic heroine.
But, as expected from Rihanna, she did sex things up a notch when she changed into a racy black basque for another sequence.
Joining the 22-year-old on location was French supermodel Laeticia Casta, who looked striking with her dramatic make-up and sexy black outfit.
While Rihanna and director Anthony Mandler are keeping tight-lipped over the video's storyline, a casting call asked for 'beautiful, sexy and glamorous' females who are 'comfortable in their bodies'.
Mandler has directed videos for some of the world's biggest pop stars including Usher, Nelly Furtado, Eminem and Enrique Iglesias and Te Amo is the 11th time they've worked together.
Writing on his Twitter page, Mandler enthused: 'Thanks to all of Rihanna’s fans for the long list of suggestions... we're gonna follow our instincts and give you guys something special...
'One of the best things about being an artist is the ability to cause controversy.'
Perhaps one of the reasons behind Rihanna's softer look in the new video is her burgeoning relationship with baseball player Matt Kemp.
The couple have been quietly dating since December, with the Umbrella singer making her official debut as a baseball WAG at a Los Angeles Dodgers game two weeks ago.
Speaking in Paris, Rihanna admitted she was in 'love' with Kemp, but wished she was with him in such a romantic city.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'I'm really happy right now. It's an amazing city. I love it. It would have been so cool if he was here. I was hoping he would be able to come to London [next month] but he's working.'
Rihanna will have to wait two months until she sees him again, when she completes the European leg of her tour.
