Im not a fan of the retouching at the face, they always be whitening her skin!
- ikkinnik
  
  I disagree.
  - Dee
    
    The reason, u disagree, is bcuz u probably white urself, and even u cant stand 2 beleive she is black and look better than white gurls…so by u see'n her white, makes u feel better… OMG – SMH
    ((Now Am I Rite))
- meltedwords
  
  this is actually "spotlight affect". google effect-its an effect that different programs such as "photoshop" has-its supposed to be an effect that makes it seems like there is a huge "spotlight bulb" on you-lots og magazine always use this effect of people on their covers
  - ikkinnik
    
    THANK YOU.
- Dee
  
  yes, sir, my homie, u aint never ly'd…I guess its bcuz they cant beleive a black gurl looks as good as her, so they try to recreate her colour by make'n her look white, 4 their on lil twisted fantasys and pleasures.
  But they need 2 face it, if she looks better than white gurls she just does…aint no need in try'n 2 make her white…lol
- Brit
  
  She's already naturally light. It's the lighting

Wow! Didn't realise she took this many photoshoots with the blonde hair. I'd like to see some now with the black hair!
Rih4life

Nobody cant touch her sexness, she is indeed hot and beautiful. All she needs to do is to stay away from all this so called rappers, they r lowering her image.
Nenns

I like how it's not an aggressively sexy shoot! It's innocently sexy!!! She actually looks better this way! Can't wait to get my own copy!
Benron978

GUYS, UNFORTUNATELY WHYB Misses the top 10 again this week… It did jump up to 8 on digital songs though! We can do this!
sincerity

Oh well, maybe one day Rihanna will no longer be typecast as a tramp. Shrug…..
- got $ome nigga? ;)
  
  "some guys" don't like her "style". they've got nothing just bashing. see how lame they are. B) they don't see. they milk their own. but rih's milking some else. ;)
  - :-P
    
    It's more like other people are milking her 1/2 naked behind – family, friends and chicken head fans.
- Brit
  
  That has nothing to do with her,people are going to form negative opinions regardless. She's stated before that she doesn't give a phuck what ppl think. That pretty much sums it up!!!
  - :-P
    
    Hey Rihanna is alot of things but one thing she's not is made of stone. Of course she cares what people say no matter how much she claims she doesn't care. If you believe that you're a fool.
doubline47

she looks beautiful,but enough with the topless shot already,it was just 2 or 3 days ago she had one for nude,now here we go again,is time for her to calm it a bit down,she is starting to be quit annoying,and stay away from does wack rappers
TRINIGHAL

FOR THE VIDEO SHOOT THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HER A BAJAN FLAG INSTEAD…IMJUSTSAYING
- allbaje
  
  she wouldnt be allowed to do that to the bajan flag. Cause by law its not to be drapped on the body or on the floor like that.
  - :-P
    
    Battleship is not about Barbados it's about the US military. That's the real answer.
alison

I think she looks beautiful and super hot. Riri is taking over.
adub

It's interesting how the video has her in all these different outfits and yet Esquire went with nude for the cover. Maybe that was their intention all along. Its probably best that way for sales. She looks gorg.
RiRi4TX

She is stunning like always!!

Wonderful pictures! *-*

I think rihanna being nude is not in a bad or tasteless way , Models do it all the time and no one really checks or say anything about it. In the shots she is not slipping anythin or showing her crotch or nipples they all done in a tasteful fashion. I think rihanna shows her confidence and her strength by not comforming to the xpected and who peole think or want her to be. She is a strong woman who is fearless.
- doubline47
  
  she is not a model,she is a singer,her status is bigger than just a model,is not that she cannot do topless shot,but is becoming to be like everyday thing,and when you do it too much,it becomes less interesting
- sherry
  
  Actually she's doing what she's told to do by the people who control the game. She has no choice so of course she does it with what appears to be confidence and using all her strength not to go back to being an average poor black person in Barbados. When they tell her to show her nipple OR ELSE she'll have to do that too. If you want to see the side effects that are not so strong and independent, look to her drunken binges and other acting out.
  - Niki
    
    That comment was hilarious… She's worth damn near 100 million. Going back to being "an average poor black person in Barbados"??? Ain't happening!
    - :-P
      
      It's takes money to make money and when you're that big so are your debts, Sorry Niki that's the law of commerce. Every millionaire and billionaire knows it takes only one good law suit and financial misadventure to put even the richest man on skid row. Look it up so I don't have to spoon feed you names of people and corporations this has happened to.
      - Niki
        
        It's called NET worth for a reason dear. And I have a Master's in Economics so spare me the condescension rugrat. Now please…
        1. get your head outta your ass
        2. stop hoping that Rihanna will go broke, and
        3. go do your homework so that you too may be worth SOMETHING someday.
        
        These children kill me! :D
        
        :-P
        
        What's a big qualified woman/man like you doing on a blog for children if we only irritate you and your "MASTERS" in economics? I hope she hired you to count her money, prevent her from buying more leaky houses and make sure she doesn't hire video producers who steal famous artistic concepts that bring lawsuits and out of court settlements.
        
        Niki
        
        Actually I'm only 24 years old. I come here because I appreciate Rihanna's music, attitude, work ethic and business savvy. If anyone here is "counting her money", it's haters like yourself who know that they can never measure up. Good luck grasshopper – remember that whatever you wish on others may end up happening to you.
WEWIN!!

SHE LOOKS FAB
Lipcrkr

Why is everybody saying she's posing nude? She's not NUDE, this isn't Playboy. The same as "Sports Illustrated", the models, even when they are looking nude, are not nude to us. Maybe to the photogs doing the shoot…..but to us it's sexy and provocitive…………..but SHE'S NOT NUDE!!!!! Sheesh.
- huhgry
  
  just cause, i'd like to have been be the photog. B)
- Brit
  
  Thank you until I see some some pu$$y lips or nipples thats when ppl can say she's doing nude.
ikkinnik

She is like EPICALLY beautiful.
