Rihanna takes the stage over an hour late in Montreal

Rihanna took to the stage 70 minutes late for her Diamonds world tour in Montreal on Sunday night.

Luckily for her patient fans Rihanna proved worth waiting for, showing her figure in a pair of thigh high white boots.

The singer teamed the boots with a transparent T-shirt dress baring the legend “sea of desire” and black underwear.

The outfit proved just one of six equally outrageous outfits.

They included a pop art inspired two-piece, in clinging red and yellow PVC, and studded black leather underwear, which she wore with another pair of over-the-knee boots.

Rihanna, 25, wore her hair curled, flowing and long, with half her head shaved.Earlier her fans had been left waiting as she took her time coming on stage.

The delayed start to the gig came after Rihanna was forced to cancel two shows of her Diamonds world tour on doctor’s orders after suffering a bout of laryngitis.

The singer seemed fully recovered as she belted out her set in Canada.

One of the more tender moments came as Rihanna dedicated the song Diamonds to her late grandmother Dolly, whose birthday it was.
