Rihanna is teasing fans with photos from her forthcoming Pour It Up video shoot where she’s incorporating a bit of a vintage cabaret look — a short pin curled platinum blonde wig, big glamorous jewels, and a sexy playsuit.

However photos of the pop star in a nipple-revealing fishnet bodystocking better fit what we had imagined for the brazen strip club anthem.

The video was originally set to be directed by Vince Haycock but he announced on Twitter earlier this month that he is no longer involved with the project due to “creative differences.”

The song serves as the second US single, and third overall single from Rihanna’s 2012 release, Unapologetic .

Co-written by Mike Will Made It , who co-produced along with J-Bo , “Pour It Up” debuted at #90 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it went on to peak at #19.

It became Rihanna’s second #1 single on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and reached #6 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
