Rihanna may not be accustomed to slaying stages, but there’s no denying that she knows how to razzle and dazzle in front of a camera.
Such is the case on the cover of W Magazine‘s September issue, where the 28-year-old stuns as a post-apocalyptic queen.
Lensed by Steven Klein, the edgy shoot is the latest of many lined up to promote the diva’s eighth studio album ‘ANTI.’
Slim on sales, the project has managed only 500k in the US since January. On the relative upside, it’s been a streaming force. Though, the differential between those willing to purchase the LP and those content to hit play only as part of a monthly streaming package is both glaring and telling. Especially in an era where her argued contemporaries such as Drake and Beyonce are managing both.
Will this new shoot help make ‘ANTI’s x2 “Platinum” plaque less of a punchline? Who knows.
What is is certain is that a fierce photoshoot awaits after the jump…
Reach for the stars Sam. He must have been reading the shade torwards his fav and had enough kiii
She ate thissssssssss on a side note sam, every single post doesn’t have to have some kind of shade involved. Let the fan bases do that but I do see your job as a blogger to call out the facts but seriously it doesn’t have to be EVERY SINGLE POST you throw some kind of shade. Just say it’s a nice editorial and go on
Rhigoat is NO APOCALYPTIC QUEEN. She’s the QUEEN OF DEEP THROATING, GEETING GANG BANGED BY MULTIPLE ( her father included), H***** V****, PROSTITUTING….ETC. ???
This Cover is the biggest try hard I have ever seen! She looks sooo rediculous! Screaming!?????
“”””Getting”””
Sam is an emotional power bottom. She gets into her feelings.
Great art direction here ??????
These don’t even look like her except the first one. But these photo shoots are AMAZING!!!
.
@Sam Oh the shade!!! I live for it!!! But on the real it’s time to lay off her. Im here for the shade when the Navy try it, but these articles with the shade are so unnecessary. Leave them to Rashad if the Heaux grinds your gears that much. No shade tho.
See this is why I made that comment about you in the other post ??
B**** shut your illiterate Microphallus ass up. HailLegendBeysus doesn’t need your blandishments, you lientery phony ass f*****..lol

Like I told your non using fleet enema brown Betty ass, stop assuming you milquetoast c***,..and look at fuming with those exclamation points lol I understand that’s the natural result of getting your ass kicked so often..that would explain the ass kissing s#it on your lips lol.
* you
You haven’t S**** and didn’t I tell your obsessive a$$ to crawl back into that dumpsterpuss? You’re clearly the dumb one of the MooMoo stans. Kii, I used an exclamation point 3 times in total since chatting with you s****. At the end of the day YOU STILL HAVENT BEEN TO THE FARM TO SEE YOUR FAV MOO! Now that makes 4 if you can count. Broke F@@@g You’re dismissed, Idiot. ?
Lol f** you’re weak and flat as fk.
I’m out, and I have constructive things to attend to. I advise you to do the same, like tend to the HPV v**** that you have..in addition to your @nal warts, you nasty f**. Later ass kisser lol.
So I’m flat for clocking that ass? Kii! My poor s****. I understand you have @ids and life expectancy is less than 2 weeks but don’t take it out on me! Make-A-Wish may fund your trip to the farm broke you sl*t. Kii at you leaving when I said you’re dismissed! MY F****** S**** ???
Ayyseify, no shade, but up your shade and read game hun, because you got read for filth.
Shady queen named Sam needs some sunlight. Sounding extra bitter that R**** slayed this magazine.
Sam why are you so mad. you seem like you need a hug boo. Poor ting.
Rih slayed as usual
I love Steven Klein’s photography. She did what she does best and served a great photoshoot
Watch the illuminati posts come flooding in lol. RiRi slayed tho!
*in my Brenda voice* this is sum SCURRY Sh*t!!!! Lmao this is some freaky ish, but I kinda dig it!!! POSE BÎTCH!!!!
Bey could never serve like this without looking like a TRY HARD.
And Ciara couldn’t serve like this without looking like KOBE BRYANT.

Woooooooooooow. This is NEXT LEVEL GOOD. I can’t believe she slays shoots like this. She’s such w major force in fashion. It’s really scary when you think about it…
Rih looks good! I love the cover and pic #2, 3, 8 and 10 most!
Lmao sam did not come to play with you hooes.he came to shade biatch .i can’t
Has keri hilson even been active lately?
This looks great!
Amazing. Her photoshoots are always AMAZING. So gorgeous.
She looks cute her.
Rih looks nice. Photo’s 2, 3 and 10 are the best.
Me likey ??
Ok rih… I see you!!
She can’t sing for s*** but she can take a picture!
Rihanna is a better singer than Ciara.
And b**** everybody sings better than Selessor. Who the f*** asked you?
“And b**** everybody sings better than Selessor” – not Ciara lmao! I stan both but Selena is a better singer than Ci. And no one needs to ask anyone boo, its a blog where you are free to comment where ever.
Selena’s basic voiced ass couldn’t sing her way out of a cardboard box. Ciaras buttery tone and runs > Selessors monotone humming ANYDAY! Stay pressed.
Rihanna is winning!! Sam, I don’t remember you posting anything about Ciara’s, Brandy, Rita Ora (who still can’t come out with an album) sales!! No shade to them, by any means. The point is you sound so pressed and bitter!! Did she turn down an interview a few year’s ago, or pull a Mariah and say “she don’t know you”, which I’m sure she doesn’t!! Where is your Favorite on Forbes? Cause she’s in the top 15 with $75 million!! Stay writing cheesy, hating ass blogs for chump change!!
Gorgeous!!!!!!!
I tell you guys all the time that gay men are the most misogynistic pieces of crap. They’re worse than straight men sometimes. Sam is a prime example. This is beyond not being a fan of hers. This is simple disrespect and it’s deplorable coming from a man ALL THE TIME. If rih was a man sam wouldn’t shade her he’d wanna f***. If I was rih I’d get a couple n***** to meet him outside.
100
But anyways POSE BIH!
She ate this . POSE BISH!!!!??????????????
This woman is made to be in front of the camera. S*** beyond words. And she can make cardboard look sheek. Absolutely gorgeous.
Slaying a photo shoot without having the same dry wig on and same stances! This is what a true model looks like! This is how a true model slays. Ciara and bey need to get with the program.
Your fave should stick to modeling because that is all she is good at. The other two mentioned are talented and not modes with mics….
Btw although rih is beautiful, the picture in my avi slays any rih look tbh..
She is gorgeous, but we already knew Rih can slay a photoshoot. When will Gigi Hadbland or whatever her name is?
molly shut up
Im not Molly though, you tried it. Stick to pounding out essays about how you hate white people
She looks nice on the cover
Test
Stylist Edward Enninful says Rihanna was very involved with the styling and clothes featured in the photo shoot.
