Rihanna’s British Vogue cover debut has been billed as one of the magazine’s most anticipated issues.
Sporting a short blonde wig and Armani Prive couture, the Bajan singer reveals a new quiet sophistication – although her interview with Christa D’Souza is said to be 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 drug 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.
