At Perfect, Bryan Grey Yambo and Katie Grand sure do love themselves some Rihanna. After all, three whole months haven’t even passed since the global superstar made a surprise appearance on Issue 6.5 of the London-based fashion publication. The issue was a complete sell-out and given said success, the co-editors-in-chief bring back the Barbadian superstar onto a fresh batch of covers for Issue 7. Via the lens of photographer Carlijn Jacobs, Rihanna is splashed across not one but five highly collectable and dynamic covers. Shot within the surroundings of the historic Paramour Estate in Los Angeles, Rihanna is simply “full-fierce” with a mouth full of spaghetti, putting Midas to shame (dripping in gold) or channeling her wild side in leopard print Dolce & Gabbana.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Rihanna again? First Rafael Pavarotti. Now Carlijn Jacobs. Who’s next? Elizaveta Porodina?” asked mikel.
“Rihanna again? Lord have mercy,” voiced Kimy Jo.
“Not her again, we are so tired,” MDNA echoed.
“All these images have been done so many times already. Maybe it’s because I spend too much time going through vintage magazines but I just find it tiresome. I don’t expect anyone to invent things in 2024 but at least remixing the references, putting them in different context would be more than welcome,” pointed out forum member avonlea002.
“Rihanna can do better IMO,” commented kokobombon.
