Rihanna spent her weekend in Barbados, back on bridesmaid duty for one of her best friends from childhood, Sonita Alexander. RiRi shared two Instagram stories before the wedding but spent the rest of the time having a great time with the guests—and staying the hell away Alexander's customary bouquet toss, as Buzzfeed pointed out.
Video was taken of Alexander throwing her bouquet, which featured Rihanna in the back visibly ducking out of the way, then standing back up and walking away as if nothing happened. Because she doesn't want that bouquet; let some other girl catch it and be the next to wed.
Rihanna has been a bridesmaid before. Back in April 2015, she shared the photo of herself proudly posing with the rest of the bridal party:
Relationship status-wise, by the way, Rihanna seems to still be dating her billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel. They were last photographed having a tense discussion over the World Cup in July...or so RiRi suggested that was what the argument was about on Instagram.
