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…
