MAG SCANS: RIHANNA FOR VOGUE ITALIA (SUPPLEMENT COVER)
Thursday, August 27, 2009

Check out Rihanna’s cover for the September Couture Supplement of VOGUE Italia. Shot by photographer Steven Klein, this shoot was reportedly the reason why she shaved the sides of her hair.
Since this is the supplement cover, it isn’t the official cover but gives in sight on what the spread will look like.

I don’t like it - I hope the other pictures are better.
Also, clearly barely ANY of you know ANYTHING about modelling.
I can’t even be bothered to type and explain to you annoying, uneducated people how it works.
Just because she supposedly looks like Grace Jones it doesn’t mean she’s “copying” everything about Grace. It’s a shoot - a lot of models are inspired by other people and do shoots similar to how the original model would do it.

However, let’s face facts. U dun no girl’s legs are far from that skinny. Airbrushing anyone?

Please stop attributing the words “FIERCE,” “BEAST,” “KILLING,” AND “SLAYING” to human beings.
It was cute at first, but now it’s just getting annoying and scary.

I was expecting something else with the Vogue spread..this looks average and awkward. There’ve been paparazzi candids that are more “fierce” than this. I hope the rest of the pics are decent.

she’s allowed to be inspired or even blatantly copy grace during a shoot though b/c this isn’t real life. it’s a photo shoot and the photographer had a vision that she HAS to follow so no point in discussing swagger jacking in this post. why is it being brought up?

I am just sick and tired of this chick! On the cover of Itailian Vogue? Are you f*cking kidding me? It really makes me sick that we only see singers and actresses on Big name Fashion magas such as Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, just because they are famous. I love couture fashion, it’s an artform, but these celebrities are killing the true meaning of the word COUTURE! She looks like a fake Grace Jones… another celeb trying to look like a model when she isn’t.

This is it? well hopefully it isn’t the official cover like angel said because this is a straight up DISAPPOINTMENT! It’s like they tried to too many things(outfit and prop) at once and she couldn’t pull it off. Her face says “I’m confused and don’t know what the F I’m suppose to do with my body”, when it should be screaming “I’m one FIERCE black bish!” Rihanna could’ve done better… or maybe I’m just expecting too much because I think she has potential to be a real fashion icon one day. imo, that’s the only thing keeping her relevant right now. I guess she should stick to wearing clothes that are pulled straight from the runway and having people praise her STYLIST instead of her.
Oh and Sasha isn’t the only one who can wear robotic/metalic gears. Kylie’s done before her. I love Ms. fierce and all but she isn’t the originator.

AND I GIVE IT AN A++++++
like MTO said (and i hate MTO) she is the baddest chick in the game, # 114 she is already a fashion icon, i mean she has been on the covers, or in side of all the major fashion mags…she is always on fashion blogs, and etc.
Everytime we talk about her 95% of the time its regarding fashion…good or bad
So to me she is already a fashion icon, definetly for young BLACK females…i cant think of any other young black entertainer, who gets as much shine regarding there style, as she does.
I just recently saw a vid on her fansite Rihanna Dailly, when she was walking into a building in New York for her meeting, one of the paps asked her did she know she was considered a fashion icon , she kinda smiled and kept walking…SHE A BAD BISH!!!!

Those thighs were cropped something terrible! We all know she has thick thunder thighs. Now all of a sudden her thighs are supermodel thin. Please. Btw this pic is very Grace Jones. And why am I not surprised that one arm and her legs are robotic? It’s an agenda. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Ciara and anyone else who is relevant is or has done that robotic look.

She looks fierce, but she’s not going to be on the cover. She’s doing an editorial spread. Two models are going to be on the cover. It’s very hard to get on the cover of Vogue Italia, it’s the most coveted cover of any fashion magazine. More coveted than US Vogue, which is kind of lame and boring, they seriously need to step their game up in the fashion sense. If she can’t get a cover for American Vogue, what makes you think she’s going to be on the cover of Vogue Italia.

Really Now?
Friday, August 28, 2009 /
umm for everyone that says she looks like Grace Jones… yes this is true. it is very Grace Jones-esque but people have to realize when stars do magazine covers and spreads it isn’t really their say on how they look. the photographers and stylists have an agenda of what they want. for this shoot they obviously wanted something similar to Grace Jones. so it makes no sense for people to blame Rihanna and call her a biter. it more than likely was not her choice. and no I am not a “stan” but i am a fan. i don’t agree and praise every little thing she does but i give credit where credit is due. and this supplement cover is fierce, slightly strange, but for people who know fashion we know strange is becoming more and more fierce.

@ Backingbarack
Being a model isn’t about being pretty..it’s about being perfectly imperfect. I’m sure you have your imperfections as well. Rihanna is a beautiful young lady but if you find her unattractive that’s your opinion. She is just as good looking as the other women I have seen in these fashion magazines.
@ Nadia
Personally I would rather see her in an editorial spread. Much more interesting. I have seen the last few covers that they have done and was not impressed. I’m sure she is bringing it. Hate it or love it. The girl is very photogenic.
@ Everyone else who is saying she swagger jacked Grace Jones
You know damn well Rihanna did not control this shoot. She was asked to do it but the vision was someone else’s. According to you all she can’t even dress herself without a stylist so why would you think she came up with this? You all sound foolish.
144.

I think it’s great that Rihanna is finding other ways to make that money until her next music project is released. Pure genius. I say get in where you fit in Rihanna. You are doing your thing. I love the pic! No one else can pull this off.
Grace Jones is a legend. There is always a new generation that comes along and does many of the same things as the ones that came before them. I’m sure Grace Jones would be flattered if Rih is inspired by her. However, everyone has to pass the torch sometimes.
146.

#144 She’s not going to be on the cover ( Which is why it is called a Supplementary Cover) . Two Models are going to be on the Cover. She’s doing an editorial.
#143 Their Covers are way better than anything US Vogue has done recently. I’m not hating. I said she was fierce and If Britney Spears can be famous and non-talented, why should I be mad a Black woman can be famous and non-talented. I’m just saying that this post is misleading because she’s not going to be on the Cover, they mostly use models for their covers.
