So involved in the celebrations, she even chose the menu herself for the soiree.

Rihanna opted for clam chowder soup and a turkey dinner with mash, vegetables and cranberry sauce as part of her menu, according The Daily Star.

The food was all ordered and made at French bistro Hugo's, located across the road from the watering hole.

The traditional menu also included macaroni and cheese, sweet potato mash with marshmallow sauce and apple cobbler with biscuit crumble.

She paired the look with some sparkling stilettos and some jeweled earrings.

The last time Rihanna was in Ireland, she ran into quite some controversy.

A farmer ordered the singer off his land after discovering her topless during her video shoot for her hit song, We Found Love.

The star was ejected from Mr Graham’s muddy field in Northern Ireland after he interrupted the filming and told her to cover up.

Mr Graham had agreed for one of his fields in Bangor, County Down, to be used for recording but was not aware what the production team had in mind for the star.

The father-of-four, a member the Democratic Unionist Party on North Down Borough Council, said: ‘I had never heard of Rihanna until someone called me requesting the use of my land. I knew on Monday who she was.

‘Someone explained she was as big as it gets as far as pop stars were concerned. I am a bit illiterate about those issues.

‘I realised things had got to a stage which was not acceptable to me. Things became inappropriate and I asked the film crew to stop.

‘If someone wants to borrow my field and things become inappropriate, then I say, “Enough is enough. You are not entitled to do that”. She understood where I was coming from. We shook hands and parted company on good terms.’
