Rihanna Stages The Best Meet And Greet Ever At The Eiffel Tower

Yesterday Rihanna was filming something (a new video? A campaign film perhaps?) at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, wearing a silver boiler suit, crystal choker, black desert boots and baby blue gloves. She was then mobbed by over 100 fans armed with their phones.

But Rihanna didn’t have a barrier of bodyguards between her and the screaming navy, she rolled up the sleeves of her jumpsuit, sprinted towards the French Navy and dived right in. She sat on a man’s shoulders and fan-surfed, letting everyone take pictures of her. The best meet and greet EVER?
