The 24-year-old stepped out for dinner at her favourite restaurant sporting the mouth accessory as she rocked up to Giorgio Baldi for dinner with friends.

Her grill, which is a gold or bejeweled dental apparatus that sits over the teeth in the same way that a gum shield does, did nothing positive for her appearance.

Although they can be easily applied and removed as a temporary fashion accessory, they normally worn by men. They are generally worn as a status symbol of wealth in the hip hop community and have been earning people street cred ever since the early 1980s when the blinged-out teeth became a full-blown hip-hop fashion statement.

The singer may have found it rather difficult to eat her meal with the expensive piece of metal covering her teeth but thankfully she could have taken them out with ease.

The golden smile wasn't the only thing on show by the Umbrella singer as she also whipped out her legs for the low key dinner date. Rihanna looked stunning in tiny black shorts, a black and white top and peep-toe boots covered with a sheer fabric.

But her face summed up her feelings at the end of a day spent remembering those tragically lost on 9/11 in 2001. Earlier in the day, she tweeted a pic of New York City with the caption, 'We’ll never forget this day! 9/11.'
