Rihanna covers Harper’s Bazaar Arabia
Rihanna channels her inner goddess for Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. While the 25-year-old singer, known for promiscuously posing topless and flashing skin, may seem like a controversial choice for a fashion spread based on the lack of vanity, the “S&M” singer tones down the sex appeal entirely for “Rihanna of Arabia,” a stunning fashion story showcasing a new age of modesty.

For the cover, which the bad gal was reluctant to share via Twitter, RiRi conceals her face with a dark mesh veil, much like the Muslim tradition, which begins at the top of her head and ties at the nape of her neck, in a giant ornate bow.
On Wednesday, the high fashion publication provided us with a sneak peak of the July/August issue, featuring striking images of the Barbadian beauty donning a host of modern re-imaginings of traditional Middle Eastern attire.
