Rihanna's Birthday Celebration Is Just As Lush As You'd Imagine

The popstar is about to turn 26, and she's spending her final hours taking shots and snapping selfies

Rihanna is living out her final moments as a 25-year-old in true diva style.

On Monday, the popstar - who turns 26 tomorrow - let her 11 million Instagram followers know that her birthday festivities were about to kick off. And then the photo-sharing storm began.

RiRi and her pals jetted off to snowy Aspen and rented a luxury cabin to celebrate her big day. Upon their arrival, she immediately began posting pics of their lavish Colorado digs - which include a personal bowling alley, a swish outdoor hot tub and a cosy fireplace.

She also made it very clear what the main activity on the agenda would be: Booze, booze and more booze.

'26 you better bring it b*tch!!!!' she posted. '48 hrs left on my quarter century! Here's to not remembering any of them!'

Later, she shared a snap of a round of shots, accompanied by a sad face emoticon. And on Tuesday, she shared a cheeky from-behind snap of her standing in front of a white board with the words: 'Welcome to Aspen! Tonight's drinks are...'

Of course, we'd expect nothing less from our favourite party girl - we just hope she doesn't overdo it. But at least we're somewhat comforted knowing she has a delicious-looking birthday cake to wash down all that liquor.
