We did a little digging in our forums, and member French Delicacy has images from the entire spread. All the other shots are from Paris Fashion Week, so it appears Jalouse followed Rihanna around that week to produce this feature. We’ve got to hand it to them, it’s a pretty genius way to go about a story. There are images of her looks from Balmain, Kenzo, Chanel and more. Other celebrities featured in the issue (like Lily McMenamy) were profiled with more traditional shoots, making Rih’s spread extra special.
Personally, I think It’s a cool cover, considering the circumstances, but the forum members? Eh, not so much:
“It’s an alright cover, but I wish she had a normal cover, meaning normal hairstyle, not overdressed, without weird accessories,” wrote Srdjan.
“Very ugly…” burbuja8910 simply put it. GlamourousBoy agreed, “horrendous cover…”
Can’t please everyone, I guess.
Take a look at the rest of the spread here and head over to the forum to get in on the discussion.
