She's no stranger to flashing her stunning figure to get attention.
But, as this world exclusive image from her upcoming movie Battleship shows, 

Rihanna can still bring sexiness to the table - even when she's completely covered up.
The singer, who turns 24 today, is seen looking serious and determined in the shot, which shows her lining up for action amongst her Navy colleagues.

Rihanna stars as US Navy officer Raikes in the film, which also stars Liam Neeson, Alexander Skaarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch.

The movie sees a group of international navy ships come under attack from an alien enemy during an 'international naval war games.'

Talking about her plans to make a name for herself in the movie business, Rihanna said in a recent interview: 'I love doing movies now. It's something I want to do more of.

'I just want to pick films that are wise for me and roles that I can pull off, nothing that is too big for me.'

And it seems Rihanna's confidence paid off, as Battleship director Peter Berg raved about the singer's performance in the big-screen adventure during an interview with 

MTV News earlier this month.

He said: 'She was great. She has a very strong part. I was surprised no one had ever thought to hire Rihanna. I was a huge fan of her videos.

'Obviously she's sexy, but she had this real intensity. I'm like, "Someone's going to get her." '

Berg added: 'I've always believed in musicians as actors. I had great success with Tim 
McGraw in Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom.

'Musicians have been acting since Frank Sinatra won an Oscar for From Here to Eternity.

'Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson, the late Whitney Houston, I thought, was tremendous in The Bodyguard. As recently as Mariah Carey in Precious, she was great.'

Battleship is due for release in the UK on April 11th.
