Dazed magazine Winter 2017 is out now and comes with different covers of Rihanna. Leaning on the bonnet of a steamed-out car and caught in the glare of headlights moving through the trees, this is Rihanna captured by Harley Weir. The pop-culture icon’s winter issue cover story is a close collaboration with Weir, the photographer whose lens lightly grazes the skin of her subjects – further proof, if we needed it, of Rihanna’s absolute ownership of her sexuality and willingness to experiment creatively. Rihanna’s first ever cover for Dazed, it’s also the first in a series of close collaborations that form a thread throughout the issue.
