Cast your eyes on these snaps of TGJ favourite Rihanna, braving the rain in New York City yesterday as she begins work on her eighth studio album this month.

Spotted by fans as she made her way back to her hotel in the city, the ‘Winning Women‘ performer’s sighting marked the first since she touched down from LA this week, reportedly enlisting a plethora of hit makers to forge her new project- less than a year after the release of ‘Unapologetic‘.

    AND NOT A SINGLE F*** WAS GIVEN!!!! WORK B****… HER STYLE IS JUST BETTER THAN ANY OTHER POP STAR RIGHT NOW. SHE ALSO HAS ONE OF THE BEST LIGHT SKIN TONES I HAVE EVER SAW. NOT TO PALE NOT TO DARK…

    • Kisses September 3, 2013

      Thats the thing. She wouldnt be s*** without her style

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) September 3, 2013

        She’s The S*** since second 1, #1’s and all. as aaliyah would say: Try again.

    • LOLO September 3, 2013

      Not too pale, not too dark? Ignorant f****** comments like this. Dickhead.

  6. POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) September 3, 2013

    This Pic is like a Desktop wallpaper, I swear this b**** is camera ready 24/7.

    Robyn, Cheer Up, and Get over “IT”.

    Nice shoes Rih! 😀

  7. JOHNVIDAL September 3, 2013

    LOL It´s obvious her team is going for the next album already. I said it two months ago when I saw they stopped after the first two singles, which were the only two good songs on that last album. They know what they are doing. Her fans tried to deny it, same way they tried it last year in September, until Diamonds dropped. They won´t stop. In a way she´s lucky that they handle her career. Woulnd´t be nothing without that nonstop promo machine for like 7 or 8 consecutive years.

    • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

      It is a marketing strategy that is tried, tested and working. And what? Is there some kind of music industry law that says that she can’t drop every year? WHO said she has to drop eveyr 5 years? MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE NOTHING WITHOUT THEIR TEAMS.

  8. Kim Kardashian Stan September 3, 2013

    Rihanna hasnt said she was working on a new project so wtf yall talking bout. @TGJ?

  9. Kim Kardashian Stan September 3, 2013

    Anyways she so pretty & down to earth i just love her!

    • Beyhive September 3, 2013

      Down to earth? B**** I can’t.

  10. jfkasy September 3, 2013

    riri’s style is just next level…i luv my girl.say what u want but rihanna is THAT cutting edge singer of our generation and she’s never yesterday’s news ,she always looks like she came out a year ago.Gaga five years in and she’s stale as f*** .i do’nt think the album thing is true,yes we are all wet-dreaming about her next album but lets face it she would have released a single by now if that was e case.i want a new album nxt year God that album is going to b so fuckn hot i’m going to asphyxiate while listening to it #NAVI confession!

  11. Valerie (barb) September 3, 2013

  12. . : : h 2 o : : . September 3, 2013

    Slay me, Queen of Fashion 😥

  13. Brandys Starr September 3, 2013

    All smoke and mirrors with her just as these comments prove. Gosh what would she be without that image its fundamentaly what sells her as a brand.

    • Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) September 3, 2013

      And it’s working, mad?

  14. . : : h 2 o : : . September 3, 2013

    Seriously, I always had this for her in my mind … I always imagined her wearing that thing

    And now she’s SLAYING it … Harder then I thought she would!

    What kind of Male Rihanna am I ❗

    • fashawn September 3, 2013

      nope. you probably looked at all the pictures on the net and it felt like a dejavu. that’s how it works. 😉 😆

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) September 3, 2013

      that is her Usual casual Style, other Girly, s*** styles are just for Her fans and when she wants to “dress2Impress”.

      She’s a fashion Icon.

  15. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

    Rita Whora, you know! the girl from 2011/ 12 that was gonna shutrih and end her career, was meant to drop a new single in september. Are we still in August? Oh! wait…..we are in september. WHERE IS HER NEW SINGLE?

  16. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

    SHE IS COMING TO london to film Alan carr which will end at the end of the month. I think her new single is called, ‘ she’. Can’t wait, more career ending slayage. What happened to beyonce’s music career? ARE THE HIVE EVER GONNA GET A SINGLE FROM HER?

  17. fashawn September 3, 2013

    looks good. but it’s not perfect. just a plain long shirt. needs cuts around the arms. it screams customize me. but she’s not a designer. nor can fabricate or customize. just wears the stuff. but nobody actually cares about that longer then a day. so. 😆

    @tgj did you say something about albums. you blowing up that s***. i heard some fart noise. 😆

  18. Love Life September 3, 2013

    She probably called a photographer to come take that picture and act like a pap. We all know how vein she is.

    • Love Life September 3, 2013

      Vain

  19. Rosie September 3, 2013

    Not feeling that outfit but…
    “TGJ favorite Rihanna”
    *laughs* This site knows damn well they’re biased against her though.

  20. Love Life September 3, 2013

    The whole position and angle of that picture is too perfect to be a pap photo sorry. They dont care about all that they’d rather zoom in on her miserable face.

  21. reason September 3, 2013

    its 5am, but @rosie is already up. what kind of troll?

    • Rosie September 3, 2013

      I wasn’t even trying to shade.
      And it’s almost 8 where I am right now. But drag.

    • fashawn September 3, 2013

      it’s 5am. you just got up? and had to post something on tgj? says alot more. btw… 5am? mountain time or south america? i guess rosie is from brasilia? 😆

  22. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

    SAM,

    OH Dear, your friend, Rita Whora said she will release her album, in the USA, NEXT YEAR IN 2014. MORE pushback – she is the queen of album pushback. Did she not say her LP was coming in early 2013, then, in the summer 2013, now….2014. A girl like me was released, without fail 8 months after MOTS – and it sold millions. More than most albums alot of acts to today.

    Sam, why is Rita WHORA’S album coming out in 2014? When does the new single come out? RITA whora got worst dressed on fashion police; Rih has never been worst dress . EVER. Kelly osborne said something that is very true. She said: ” Rita Ora is struggling to find her style. One minute you see her looking like Rihanna, then she is trying to look like beyonce”. PREACH! But this is not just of Rita’s style ( or lack of ) but her musical identity.

    What is her music? People say she is this knock out singer, but I have yet to hear her sing well. Her songs are rip off Rihanna ( CIRCA 2009 ) katy perry etc. Admit Sam, she is DONE! She will be dropped and that will be the end of her career. Expect to see her UK celebrity big brother.

    Rih remains unbothered.

  23. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

    Chris’s brown’s career:

    he done released three singles and videos already and about to release the fourth one , and yet still no released date for his album..

    the promos he’s been doing look average, he now host club and pool parties like those dlisters and relaity tv stars

    his lastes gig this month

    KARMA! HA HA HA HA

  24. rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

    Her tour ends November 14th, so THE NEW ALBUM IS COMING.

  25. Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) September 3, 2013

    I just love her sense of fashion. This girl could make a trash bag look fashionable. She looks great and I love the short hair.

    There’s no new album this RIHvember Samantha (you already know that), What now is the next single.

    • cake like lady gaga September 3, 2013

      The delusion

    • rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is decreasing. September 3, 2013

      DO u really think she would come all the way to the USA for to do, Alan Carr, just to do ‘ what now’ ? I think it will be something bigger. JT is also gonna be on the show. Duet…?

  26. Marcellas September 3, 2013

    Suspicious looking ‘paparazzi’ photos.

    • photo yo September 3, 2013

      a rain effect. other lens and contrast boost to not shoot the rain grey. it looks different. close to photoshop. 😉

  27. Bey Fan September 3, 2013

    looks like photo shoot…. she looks good.

    I felt like Unapologetic had a few more singles on it. But oh well….

  28. CiaraGrammy’s2014 September 3, 2013

    this h**. where do i star…
    she in the studio again, great, no one cares but her psycho fans
    hope she doesn’t catch a cold in the rain, would be awful if her voice got sore. not like it sounds like she’s got the flue and no tonsils every time she sings anyway

    • RIHVEMBER IS COMING SOON TO DESTROY ALL YOUR F***** ASS FAVES SO JUST DEAL AND BE PRESSED. September 3, 2013

      Shut da phuck up h**

  29. Jakie September 3, 2013

    Ciara’s style is personnally the best of them for me . And where are the Pour It Up , Phresh Out The Runway videos? That chick can’t exploiit an album!

    • RIHVEMBER IS COMING SOON TO DESTROY ALL YOUR F***** ASS FAVES SO JUST DEAL AND BE PRESSED. September 3, 2013

      Yes b**** but you know she is busy with her huge tour and new clothing line besides shooting videos and many other things that your fave would not even dream of. Diamonds and Stay outsold ciara’s entire f***** album with the two singles so shut your stanky ass up you lil c***.

      • RIHVEMBER IS COMING SOON TO DESTROY ALL YOUR F***** ASS FAVES SO JUST DEAL AND BE PRESSED. September 3, 2013

        oh sorry, even only “Stay” outsold her whole damn album with singles.

  30. SLAY_HIVE September 3, 2013

    Death @ salvation army claiming she hasnt confirmed a new album…havent you bxtches gotten used to the routine???? kii

    She cant afford to be absent from the radio too long, she’s scared she will be forgotten! so there will be ANOTHER rushed released generic album. Its not about the love of the craft,but #1s and attention.. Her music is becoming veey predictable! First she will release a pop aong, shortly after she will release an urban single, change her hair and color! THE SAME TIRED SHXT!! Rihject the world needa a break from you! kii

    • Rihanna is SLAYING BISSHH September 3, 2013

  33. Loyalty September 3, 2013

    She looks cute here. The top/dress thing could do without the cape looking aspect at the back though.

  34. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) September 3, 2013

  35. Kingstown September 3, 2013

  36. mildred> bey hive September 4, 2013

    Am sick and tired of people comparing bey fashion to that of rihanna cus bey is 32 and married so don’t expect her to dress like r**** by wearing clothes without bra or wearing see thruogh clothes in public. Get over yourself and leave bey alone.
