Few pop stars can compete with Rihanna [1]'s high-voltage hotness, and that's even more true when you take the beauty's music videos [2] into consideration. For 13 years, Rihanna has been blessing us with some of the most inventive music and visuals of our generation, and each video has gotten more ambitious and exciting along the way. While it's close to impossible to pick a favorite from all of Rihanna's steamy moments [3], we've rounded up her 10 hottest videos so far. But at just 30 years old, there's no doubt that there's a lot more sexiness to come from our favorite bad gal.
"Umbrella"
This spot goes to "Umbrella," a video that helped to introduce Rihanna [4] to a wider audience. It's the first video in which she begins to morph into the ultra-sexy pop star we know and love today.
"Don't Stop The Music"
We're going old school with this 2009 pick, which makes you feel like you're out at the club with your favorite singer.
"Rude Boy"
Rihanna [5]'s Caribbean culture takes center stage in the video for "Rude Boy," and her sexy moves and fun outfits make the video a carefree classic.
"Bitch Better Have My Money"
Her most controversial video to date, Rihanna [6] proves that you can be sexy and mean business at the same time in the mini movie for "Bitch Better Have My Money." Don't let the steamy outfits fool you; Rihanna wants her money and she'll do whatever's needed to get it.
"What Now"
This 2013 slow motion video perfectly suits the song's dark lyrics. ("I been ignoring this big lump in my throat / I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weak / The days I'm stronger, know what, so I say / That's something missing.)
"Diamonds"
This video, with its wild imagery, has raked up 1.2 billion views.
"Work"
Simple and sexy, the video for "Work" is Rihanna [7] at her coolest, and it's set in what looks like that most fun dance party ever. A Drake cameo also doesn't hurt.
"Can't Remember to Forget You"
Shakira [8] is no stranger to making videos that are too-hot-to-handle. Rihanna [9] was featured in her video for "Can't Remember to Forget You," and we just can't leave it off this list.
"Needed Me"
You do NOT mess with Rihanna [10] in the NSFW (seriously, nudity is involved) video for "Needed Me." She's wearing a pretty risqué top, but that's not the dangerous part.
"What's My Name?"
A sweet flirtation can be incredibly sexy, and that's exactly what you get in the "What's My Name?" video, featuring Drake.
"We Found Love" feat. Calvin Harris
Rihanna [11] and Calvin Harris emerged from a broken place to make this fiery video, full of destruction, tattoos, and makeout sessions.
"Wild Thoughts"
Rihanna [12] wears the summer outfits of our dreams in "Wild Thoughts," and she steams up the screen so much that it's easy to forget that DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller are also there.
"Stay" feat. Mikky Ekko
This video with Rihanna [13] in the bathtub is arguably her her most iconic. The song, about a relationship that she can't break free from, is deeply personal, and she's baring her soul and body in the video.
"S&M"
The video for "S&M" is bright, bold, and quirky, but the image of Rihanna [14] as a dominatrix clad in pink leather deserves a spot on our list.
"Kiss It Better"
A throwback to the simple, stripped down videos of the 1980s, "Kiss It Better" proves that some of Rihanna [15]'s sexiest moments are when it's just her being her.
"Pour It Up"
Sure "Pour It Up" has Riri twerking and giving the pole a twirl, but in the sultry video, Rihanna [16] is in complete control of her sexuality, and there's nothing hotter than that.
