Rihanna Will Ring In The New Year Covered Up

Filed Under: Rihanna Fashion Smashion

It looks like 2010 will be a more conservative year for Rihanna - well, at least the first night of it.

According to sources, the songstress has been scheduled to perform in Abu Dhabi on New Year's Eve, a gig that will earn her reportedly $500,000.

Not a bad way to start off the new year!

Of course, for that kind of paycheck, the Barbadian singer is pretty much at the behest of her Abu Dhabian bosses. And they're not taking that power lightly - officials have warned Rihanna to dress more modestly for her Emirates Palace gig.

A source says:

"The dress code in Abu Dhabi does not encourage excessively revealing outfits - but it's no secret that RiRi is the, 'if you've got it, flaunt it,' type of girl…. She wanted to put on her most eccentric and provocative show yet. She knows that she'll have to compromise her style to fit in with local traditions - but a huge part of her show is her sexy stage gear…. Organizers are getting hot under the collar about possible wardrobe choices, but they trust it will be handled tastefully."

It's not just the clothing that might need a little tweaking, though:

"Apparently Rihanna always likes to have some bottles of vodka in her hotel room, but she may need to obtain a license if she is to store the alcohol in her dressing room during the gig."

We have a hard time feeling sorry for her - yes, it might not be the most wild way to bring in the new year, but she can wipe her tears with hundred dollar bills after making so much money in one gig.

We bet she'll have plenty of sexy fun later on in the year!
