Rihanna shared more of her Crop Over experience with her Navy in her Instagram story. There, she let fans see her full outfit in all its glory, as well as a few bits of the celebrations.
According toNational Cultural Foundation Barbados, Crop Over is a traditional harvest festival in the country, established when the local industry was mainly agrarian. While the practice waned in the middle of the 20th century, state officials spearheaded its revival in the ’70s, leading to its prominence today, where eight weeks are devoted to celebrations.
Of course, this wasn’t the first year Rihanna came to Crop Over to slay. Here she is in 2015 ...
