Rihanna makes history with British Vogue September Issue cover

Rihanna has made history by becoming the first black woman to grace the cover of British Vogue’s September issue, which is considered to be the magazine’s most esteemed edition.



Rihanna is seen donned in a bright pink Prada dress, Savage x Fenty gloves, as well as a floral headdress that sits above her pencil-thin eyebrows.

It’s new editor-in-chief Edward Enninful’s first September issue, and he was on hand to style the shoot for what’s tipped to be the most important issue of the year – containing 400 pages of fashion.

On choosing Rihanna to cover this issue, Enninful revealed:

I always knew it had to be Rihanna. A fearless music-industry icon and businesswoman, when it comes to that potent mix of fashion and celebrity, nobody does it quite like her. No matter how haute the styling goes, or experimental the mood, you never lose her in the imagery. She is always Rihanna.”
