Rihanna's had dreadlocks - and unsurprisingly, she's revealed them on Twitter - Mirror.co.uk

When you reveal your whole life on Twitter - your holiday snaps, your night out with some Chelsea players, your nearly naked snaps (a lot of nearly naked snaps) - then it's very unlikely you'll get a new hairdo without telling the whole world about it.

Step forward Rihanna, who debuted her new dreadlocked 'do at the American Idol final last night, where she performed Where Have You Been.

Life probably is pretty funny when you're Rihanna to be honest

 

Posting the picture on Instagram, Rihanna said: 'Wake bake shake dem dreads' which, er, we don't really understand but then we're not a youth like Rihanna.

She performed with lots of topless men wearing, er, not many clothes and with a big piece of material hanging between her legs. STYLE EDITOR GILLY, HELP US.

"It's technically a maxi skirt, but there's not a lot of max going on," says Gilly. "Techncially it's called a tiered maxi."

'Technically!' We love Gilly.

Ok, go on what would you call it?

...and a different angle for your viewing pleasure

If this was us, that material would move slightly to the left and it would be awful

...but that kind of thing doesn't happen to Rihanna

 

She also says it's a bit like Kylie and Karen Gillan's skirt as sported at Cannes this year.

She shouted "I love you, Idol!" and also tweeted from backstage, saying

'Fuckin up backstage at IDOL Finale @jennnrosales dressed me #goraiders' when she posed in a baseball cap.
