Inside, she wore more of her own looks and plenty of floral head pieces.
The spread was styled by the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, and photographed by Nick Knight.
“I always knew it had to be Rihanna,” Enninful wrote in the magazine’s editor’s letter. “A fearless music-industry icon and businesswoman, when it comes to that potent mix of fashion and celebrity, nobody does it quite like her. No matter how haute the styling goes, or experimental the mood, you never lose her in the imagery. She is always Rihanna. There’s a lesson for us all in that. Whichever way you choose to dress the new season, take a leaf out of her book and be yourself.”
