Living it up on the West Coast, Rihanna was spotted hitting up her favorite SoCal eatery Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi last night (September 2).

The "Take a Bow" songstress looked lovely as she exited the Santa Monica restaurant with her bodyguards, sporting a black and white minidress with matching fingernails.

In related news, Ri-Ri is steaming up the pages of the new issue of Italian Vogue magazine with a sexy exotic pictorial.

She left little to the imagination as photographer Steven Klein took some amazing pictures of her wearing as little as a pair of animal print underwear and a shawl.
