Rihanna turns Geisha girl and grows claws for 'Princess of China' video with Coldplay

Rihanna is taking getting handsy to a whole new level.

The 24-year-old singer sports multiple hands and arms in the new tour edition clip for her 'Princess of China' collaboration with Coldplay.

The Bajan beauty opts for two different looks in the brief clip.

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO...

Her arms, complete with talon-like nails, multiply while she wears a body-hugging black gown.

She shows a bit of Angelina Jolie-like leg while her cleavage is pushed all the way out of the slinky number.

Her make-up is bright: her eyes are covered in purple shadow, while a bright pink colour stains her lips.

In a nod to the China theme, her hair is piled atop her head and adorned with what looks like chopsticks.

For her second look, she wears an elaborate red and purple kimono.

Red and crystal tassels hang from the chopsticks in her hairdo, which match the cherry shade on her lips.

The video looks more like a pop art offering than a video, which seems to be intent. 

Though the actual music video has not been released, this arty piece which debuted today is the official tour edition video.

It was first teased during a Coldplay show in Edmonton, Canada, just one week ago.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has said of bringing Rihanna on as a collaborator: 'Rihanna's bit on our record is my favourite bit.

'When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it.

'And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we've been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music.'

The real video will be released early next month.

or maybe Durga, who is more attractive and has more arms but also rides a lion.

I love it when people get all "high and mighty" and then get it so wrong in their own comment. While many Hindu gods, including Ganesh, are often depicted with multiple arms, the most significant feature of Ganesh is the head of an elephant. This looks more Kali inspired even though the extra arms are clearly other dancers (or Rihanna projections) behind Rihanna and not connected to her.

Erm, I thought this was a Coldplay song, and they're not even in the videos?

People are too bothered about what's culturally or historically correct. This is about creativity so if the directors/musicians want to mix things up to make it look more fun, then we should respect that. Adding a bit of Eastern everything is fine with me, I think it was deliberate and not some daft misstep by the Rihanna people.

Ganesh is really big in China, I guess?

Rihanna, blah blah blah. When is the DM going to admit how much they are paid to plug her tripe with another Rihanna every day, or anything up to three times a day?

She is so gorgeous with makeup... so ugly without But then.. do any of us really know what she looks like? Too much trust in the media

Totally ignorant of Chinese and Japanese culture, but then when has she ever actually used her brain to learn anything about the rest of the world? - Petra Court, Aberdar/Cymru, 26/4/2012 10:32 Why don't you heed your own advice and engage your brain, Rihanna didn't write this story so your criticism should be directed at the person who actually did write the story and is responsible for mixing up Japanese and Chinese culture, at the end of the day you have never heard Rihanna giving her thoughts about these two cultures have you?

I dont like the the one who make her eyebrows looks so fake make her eyes swollen...

She's looking a bit rough around the face these days.
