Rihanna flies the flag for her adopted homeland as she touches down in Miami

Rihanna's back on US soil and showing her patriotism as only she knows how.

Following a beach break in her birth country of Barbados, during which time she posted numerous raunchy bikini photos on social media, the Rude Girl made an early morning dash to Miami Sunday.

Showing her love for her adopted homeland as she touched down, the 25-year-old wore a grey T-shirt with a large American flag splashed across it.

Seemingly refreshed after her flight, the R'n'B superstar certainly proved she has plenty of stamina as she headed straight from the airport to nightclub Club Space in downtown Miami, Florida for a day of partying with pals
Although her Barbadian escape was hardly taxing - unless you call taking selfies tiring work.

'#MiamiMornings Cabbing it out round town since 8 am because I'm bored! On some "taxi driver be my shrink for the hour, leave the meter running" type shit #WhereAmIEvenGoing,' she tweeted along with yet another selfie, taken in the cab as she headed to the festivities.

She was, of course, joined on Sunday by her ever-present partner in crime, bestie Melissa Forde, who was also on the Barbados trip.

The budding photographer got plenty of practise in her art on the Caribbean island, rumoured to have been behind many of the pics of RiRi's derriere that the singer posted to her Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Celebrating her long-time hair stylist Yusef Williams' birthday in style with a group of friends in Miami, RiRi reportedly hired out the entire venue for a cool $20,000.

Teaming her patriotic tee with tiny cut-off denim shorts and off-white Converse high tops, the party girl protected her eyes from the sun under large black sunglasses.
Her new cropped curly dark 'do was on full display and she picked out the colour in her top with a slick of ruby-red lipstick.

Long-time friend Melissa showed off her fashion sense in a colourful ensemble as she arrived.

She donned a red high-cut swimsuit that would make Baywatch star Pamela Anderson blush under floral pants, with off-white strappy, studded flats.

Her long brown hair, which easily reached her bottom, was loosely tousled and she followed her BFF's lead with bright red lips and quirky round shades.

In-demand Rihanna reportedly stayed at the venue until 4pm, when she headed to South Beach to attend another poolside party at Shore Club.
