The Disturbia singer is usually seen looking lovely and glamorous, but Rihanna opted for comfort over style as she left New York

It’s not often we see Rihanna sporting anything less than a stylish and well-thought out ensemble.

Yet it was clearly all about being comfortable for the singer as she headed off to catch a very early morning flight out of New York.

The 27-year-old shunned heels and glittering jewels, and instead chose a pale pink tracksuit, white vest and silver trainers to travel in.

The Diamonds singer kept her brunette locks wild in tumbling bedhead curls as she hid behind stylish white pointed sunglasses.

The star, born in Barbados, appeared to be sporting a make up free face as she climbed into a waiting car to whisk her away to a private airport.

The party girl has been busy in recent weeks as she records her new album, and also as she has further sparked rumours that she is dating F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

The pair were spotted attending the Griffin nightclub within minutes of each other, after being seen flirting at the annual Crop Over Festival in Barbados.

Rihanna has been focusing heavily on her eight studio album, which will reportedly be called ‘R8’, and insiders say her romance with Nicole Sherzinger’s ex is hotting up but Rihanna isn’t hurrying to put a label on it.
