Rihanna added another magazine cover to her collection today with a front-page feature on British magazine i-D.
For her #DenimBlue cover shoot by photographer Paola Roversi from
Paris, the singer posed topless in box braids and an oversized pair of
jeans. However, she rocked a Céline top, large hoop earrings and minimal
make-up for her cover photograph.
i-D Fashion Director, Alastair McKimm, worked with the
superstar and confirmed what most of us already knew — RiRi really is
one of the greatest.
“She really is one of the most creative, talented and inspiring women
I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with,” said McKimm. “The energy
and enthusiasm she brings is intense. She’s the
ultimate icon of our
time.”
Rihanna dropped the first single “FourFiveSeconds” from her upcoming studio album R8 over
the weekend. The album, without a confirmed release date, is rumored to
feature collaborations with Mike WiLL Made-It, Ne-Yo, DJ Mustard, Sam
Smith and Rae Sremmurd.
Although details on the project remain scarce, reports hint at a
possible performance of “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna with Kanye West and
Paul McCartney at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8.
No word on when the Music issue of i-D will hit newsstands, but check out a few more snapshots from the photo shoot below!
