A report by Jasmine Simpkins for Hip Hollywood.

We’ve got more insight into Rihanna’s character in Ocean’s 8, thanks to newly released photos from the set!

The film centers on an octet of women planning a heist in New York, and judging from new pics, Rihanna will be playing a character with tech smarts and caribbean roots. On Monday, Rih Rih was spotted filming a scene, rocking faux locks and working on a laptop alongside co-star Cate Blanchett.

This is the first time we’ve seen photos of Rihanna fully in character. The Bajan beauty did start rocking those faux locks in early October, and we’re thinking it was all for this character AND she may get to speak in her natural accent.

From the photos, Rihanna’s character also appears to be pretty laid back, rocking oversized hoodies, loose, ripped jeans and Timberland boots.

Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett and Mindy Kaling are just a few of the other women joining Rihanna in the upcoming movie, which is set to be released in June 2018.
