Rihanna has tried her stiletto-nailed hand at acing many times, from a role in hit 2012 film Battleship to an upcoming spot in the cast of Oceans Eight.

Unfortunately, Ocean's Eight wont hit our screens until 2018, so to keep us ticking over we'll be watching Riri in her upcoming cameo on hit thriller show Bates Motel.

Rihanna will play the iconic role of Marian Crane, the woman who was killed in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

The platinum-selling singer is seen in a new trailer for the TV show checking into the hotel as Norman Bates, the show's protagonist,descends further into murderous madness.

“It was trying to do a story about a contemporary woman with some edge, with some expectations, who isn’t perfect, who isn’t always perfectly sweet, who is in that situation, but we’re rooting for her to get what she wants,” executive producer Kerry Ehrin told Entertainment Weekly about the choice of Rihanna for the role.

The show returns to our screens on February 20, and we''ll be keeping our eyes peeled for a glimpse of Riri.
