RIHANNA hasn`t let her penchant for all things gloomy filter through to her song promos.

The pop singer insisted everything in her trailer was black on her New York video shoot for new single What`s My Name this weekend.

She was even spotted reading a book on the occult during breaks.

However, Rihanna was anything but sombre in front of the cameras, dancing around euphorically in a multi-coloured costume.

Rather than donning tight black jeans - the favoured lower half attire of the goth community - the Barbadian beauty played to her strengths in tiny shorts.

It`s pleasing to see Rihanna with a permanent smile on her face.
