Trying to keep a low profile: Rihanna heads to dinner covered up... as she puts her best friend's 'rice cake' slur to one side

She's known for baring all in very revealing outfits whenever she's out and about.
But choosing to switch things up, Rihanna opted to cover up on Friday evening as she headed to dinner in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
The 24-year-old singer also appeared to come across shy as she failed to entertain waiting photographers and kept her head down as she made her way inside Bouchon Restaurant.

Rihanna's best friend Melissa Forde has landed in hot water after making a racist slur against Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran on Wednesday.
Forde defended her superstar pal from fans of Chris Brown's ex - who is of Asian origin on Twitter.
But she has reignited the war of words between the two camps after using the term 'rice cake' to describe Karreuche, who is of Asian origin.

Forde was telling a fan of Tran that it was okay not to like Rihanna but that  she shouldn't insult her best friend before it all got a little too heated.
In the Instagram rant, she wrote: 'I get that you don’t like my Bfff and trust you don’t have to cause the one thing you not liking us will do is stop anything from moving forward!!
'You can be rice cake’s friend  I don’t give a f***, but keep up all this disrespectful talk and while your fake profile having azz is typing on instagram MEE Melissa T Forde will be the one knocking on your door asking you to come talk face to face!'

Best friends: Melissa Forde (L), who has been friends with Rihanna since childhood, caused a stir on Wednesday when she launched her rant on the social networking site against fans of Karrueche Tran

Controversial: Forde posted a lengthily message to her Instagram account using the term 'rice cake' thought to be a dig at Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Tran

Love lost: Brown called time on his relationship with Karrueche because of his friendship with Rihanna

She had also earlier tweeted: 'Every single one of y’all b*tchez are soo f*****g dumb and obviously have nothing better to do. But lets be VERYYY clear about one thing, nobody gives a rats a** about whatever the f*** her name is… so be careful how you talk about my BFFF!! A n***a will always do what [HE] wants!!'
Possibly sensing trouble, Rihanna tweeted to her friend: 'Melissa T Fooooorde! Stop it!!!'

No drama: Rihanna then tweeted Melissa seemingly asking her to stop making the comments online

Not as covered up: On Wednesday Rihanna stepped out in a pink coat as she wore a printed black jumper with a pair of denim shorts and trainers
