Rihanna was one of the hottest things to grace the BRIT Awards stage last night. And yes, that's even taking all of Coldplay's fireworks into account...

The Bajan beauty scooped the award for Best International Female before getting stuck into a raunchy performance to 'We Found Love'.

Dressed to impress (read: wearing very little at all), our girl RiRi donned a curly yellow wig and Timberland boots as she and her dancers embarked on a sexy paint fight inside a plastic cage.

Yup. Utter madness.

Luckily, her choreographer was on hand to pap the experience! Here's a shot of Little Miss Sunshine looking absolutely smokin' hot as she waits backstage ahead of her performance...

Looking good RiRi!

But it was the pic that they uploaded or Rihanna POST-PERFORMANCE that really had us chuckling to ourselves...

Look, she's dissolved!

Things got messy...

We're joking, obviously. The paint-splattered clothes indicate one thing; Rihanna definitely knows how to have fun while she's performing. And it's her exuberance, her enthusiasm and her cheeky taste for all things fun that really made hers one to stand-out.

Whether you love her for her bad girl attitude, or shake your head over her taste for all things naughty, there's no denying that Rihanna is a force to be reckoned with.

And, despite winning Best International Female for the second time in a row, she still remembers who put her where she is today. It says something when a star as huge as this S&M star still find the time to dedicate their success to their loyal fans:

"At times when I feel misunderstood, my fans remind me that it's OK to be myself."

Hopeless place or not, we always find time to find love for Rihanna. Here's hoping she graces the UK ceremony with her presence come 2013...

Check out the jaw-dropping performance for yourself!
