Rihanna [1] just attended the Crop Over Festival in Barbados wearing a load of pink feathers [2], rhinestones, and bantu knots [3]. The 31-year-old singer attended the island's Grand Kadooment Day parade to celebrate the traditional harvest in the country.

For the occasion, Rihanna wore her hair in the protective hairstyle [4], which she's worn on numerous occasions [5]. The look involves small sections of hair twisted or braided on the head. According to Ebony, the term "Bantu" [6] refers to many ethnic groups in South Africa, and they are also called Zulu knots after the people who originally wore them.

Ahead, check out how Rihanna wore the style.
