In case anyone needed evidence of this state of nonchalance, the singer and beauty and fashion mogul posted a glorious slo-mo video of herself [living her best life](https://time.com/5535503/rihanna-lakers/) by frolicking in a black bikini. In the clip, which she posted to her Instagram account sans caption on Wednesday night, Rihanna is seen taking a leisurely smoke and stroll in a sunny and tropical locale. Her black bikini is accessorized with a flowing black robe, slim sunglasses, and a mint green Bottega Veneta clutch in what can only be termed as bad gal chic. And at the end of the video, as if to assure her fans that she is completely unconcerned with the status of her rumored album, she takes an insouciant twirl and flips her hair. While Rihanna still hasn’t confirmed whether a new album will be dropping for fans before the end of the year, she’s stayed busy doing lots of other things, like [launching a fashion house with LVMH](https://time.com/5587259/rihanna-fenty-lvmh-fashion-house/), [dropping a 15-bound retrospective photo book](https://time.com/5699696/rihanna-book-launch/), and [expanding her beauty and lingerie empire. ](https://time.com/5662096/rihanna-fashion-show-premiere-date/) See Rihanna’s completely unbothered video below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5704146/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5704146/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video/"},"headline":"Here's Rihanna Strolling as a Goddess Among Us in This Nonchalant Slow Motion Video","datePublished":"2019-10-17T21:28:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:55.837Z","description":"Completely unbothered and unconcerned","url":"https://time.com/5704146/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4dc3280e1987ff33/698a047d4ee2622c6431672a/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4dc3280e1987ff33/698a047d4ee2622c6431672a/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrity Sightings in New York City - October 13, 2019","caption":"Celebrity Sightings in New York City - October 13, 2019","creditText":"James Devaney—GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5704146/rihanna-bikini-instagram-video/","name":"Here's Rihanna Strolling as a Goddess Among Us in This Nonchalant Slow Motion Video"}}]}] ```
