Rihanna covers British Vogue (Updated)

Rihanna’s British Vogue cover debut has been one of the magazine’s most anticipated issues since the singer herself let the cat out of the bag in late July. In short blonde wig and Armani Prive couture, the Bajan singer reveals a new quiet sophistication – although her interview with Christa D’Souza is just as loud, and controversial, as you might hope.

Rihanna has courted controversy with a series of edgy videos – including being tied up and taped to the wall with clingfilm in the video to her hit ‘S&M’. But in a Vogue interview, the singer insists: ‘That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art… I just want to make music.’ The singer, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, said that life with her parents, Monica Braithwaite and Ronald Fenty, a former crack addict, triggered her rebellious attitude. ‘I saw too much. I was way too mature for my age,’ she revealed.

The November issue of Vogue goes on sale from Thursday (October 6). Photos by Alasdair McLellan.

I'm so glad RIHANNA finally spoke out about 'HER DEFINITION' OF THE WORD C-U-N-T.

And hopefully now, people can STOP BITCHEN ABOUT IT………………..IT'S JUST A FUC_EN WORD !!!!!!

  - LilMsSunshine
    
    @saraaa
    
    She's talks about the C-U-N-T word in the new Vogue Magazine. I don't know how detailed she gets in the article, but I'm glad she addressed this subject, so folks can move on and find something else to talk about.

      Yep. C-U-N-T is the word, the life, and where truth and life lives. WORD!

  I'm sure Barnes and Nobel and you know and some convenient stores like in NY carry overseas magazines.

OMG! Rih looks fabulous! She has all the looks of hollywood glamour. She also has the distinctive pronounced eyebrows that silver screen stars had popularized and even way back from the silent movies period where the actors emphasized their looks so that the black and white color can pick up their defined features they wanted to highlight. This haircolor and hairstyle is very reminiscent of the "Golden Era" of the glamour of hollywood actoresses. Rih looks so VERY refined, svelte and exquisitely glamorous. OOH LA LA! I see the Navy appreciates, CAN identify fashion statements, fine style and not b/c u r navyites/soldiers :p <3. Why do ppl even try to devalue the intellect of the Navy, IDK. We r intellectuals, and highly intellectual. Unlike some faves' fans, navyites r SMART. @ times we can go off, and go in; we can also go out; go up , go down, go across and allaround :p but, we.r.human, say what. Give urself a round of applause navy.<3 :p <3

CUNT is not a flattering word as per Bajan people. It's quite an insult, and to women especially. This is how Bajan men and women see each other when they cannot get their way with each other. It's used in the most derogatory way possible and Rihanna should not be proud of that. It shows how cheap and low she is and how she could never be a role model for the women of Barbados. A GIRL who can walk around with such a word on her chest says exactly what she is about. Whatever comes to her is well deserved. GOOD GIRL GONE BAD!!!!
sofi

riri always beautifull <3
