While her high-profile career sees her traveling to countless locations all over the globe, it appears that Rihanna has some long-held favourites that are here to stay.

On Thursday evening, the singing superstar was spotted making yet another visit to her regular haunt, Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

The Barbados-born beauty, 28, drew style inspiration from the shores of Japan, stepping out in a bright pink floral kimono, which was cut at thigh level, allowing her to put her shapely legs on display.

With a sash belt tied around her waist and a plain black top under her kimono, the Work singer boasted a towering stance, thanks to the addition of stunning silver stilettos.

Rihanna’s raven tresses were tied back into a slick bun, while she kept her make-up light and simple for the excursion to her favourite eatery.

And, seemingly satisfied with her meal, the star was seen with a smile on her face as she exited the eatery and made her way to a waiting vehicle.

Rihanna’s carefree evening of dining comes after it was reported that she and Jay Z, who runs her music label Roc Nation, are being sued for allegedly collecting money for a concert she never gave.

She was allegedly booked to perform a show in Nigeria by Chris Ubosi and his radio station Megalectrics back in May 2013, according to TMZ.

Ubosi claims he made a deal with two individuals who represented Rihanna, Roc Nation and Jay Z with the promise that she would be paid $425,000 for a 65-minute performance at the Eko Hotel in Lagos – but a rep for Rihanna’s label says the promoter was the victim of a scam.

‘Rihanna, Roc Nation nor anyone associated personally or professionally with either party was in contact with this person,’ a spokesperson for Roc Nation told TMZ.

‘Unfortunately this person was scammed. Rihanna nor Roc Nation collected any money for this event.’

Rihanna is currently in the midst of her Anti World Tour to support her eighth studio album released on January 28 exclusively through Tidal.

In total, she will perform 74 shows across North America and Europe.
