Rihanna Covers Vogue Magazine November 2012
I am totally living for this! As if she needed to prove how hot and sexy she is, Rihanna has snagged her second Vogue U.S. cover photographed by the legendary Annie Leibovitz .
The “Diamonds” singer, who recently shared the official album artwork for her upcoming seventh studio album, is “red hot” in a crimson Michael Kors embroidered floral-lace dress on the fashion bible’s November 2012 issue.
Though this serves as her second time covering the magazine in the United States (the first cover was in April of 2011 ), this is her overall fourth time covering the international magazine. She first covered Vogue Italia in September of 2009, and Vogue U.K. in November of last year — just in time to coincide with the release of her sixth studio album Talk That Talk. Take a look at a few excerpts as well as pictures and video from the Lebec, California photo shoot below:
On people’s fascination with her relationship with Chris Brown:
“I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. … But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.”
On the cocaine rumors form her Coachella appearance:
“They knew it was marijuana. It was completely clear to them. I just thought it was uncalled for. I don’t do cocaine. I don’t like being associated with anything that’s untrue.”
On the “Birthday Cake” remix:
“I didn’t think it could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together…it could be a little shocking.”
