Rihanna is normally known for being naked and putting it all out there, but apparently a photo for her anticipated Elle UK cover shows her more toned down and chic! She has her classic red lip with a half-cut, long-sleeved, navy blue and white top and short navy blue Louis-Vuitton skirt from their Spring 2013 collection. The spread was photographed by Mario Vivanco in Paris.
The singer just recently celebrated her 25th birthday in Hawaii with family and her beau Chris Brown. Rihanna seems to be on top of the world and doesn’t have any plans to slow down!
Rihanna uploaded images from her campaign promoting her homeland of Barbados. Rihanna sizzles in a red-laced up swimsuit as she stares head-on into the camera! Rihanna is the islands most famous native and it was a natural choice to choose her as the face of the campaign.
This campaign will be a series of several ads promoting the island. Rihanna has had a world-wind 2012 year and this year she shows no sign of slowing down!
In a celebrity obsessed culture where there is no shortage of entertainers who crave the limelight and adulation of their adoring fans, there are plenty of choices to choose from to name as Entertainer of 2012. This year has given us plenty of entertainment from Box Office smashes like "The Hunger Games" & "The Avengers" to President Obama's overwhelming shellacking of Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney; 2012 has been a pretty memorable year! Throughout all the constant barrage of the chit-chatter of 2012, one name has remained constant and that is R.I.H.A.N.N.A.
This year has been the Year of Ri. Known to natives of her hometown of Barbados as Robyn, or to the the world as Rihanna, Ri(anna) or just RiRi, she has been like a machine, selling out crowds, inspiring fashion, and always sharing her everyday life. Not one to hold back about who she is or what she does, Rihanna simply declares it Unapologetic, which aptly fits the name of her latest album!
Rihanna has had her ups-and-downs this year, one of which, losing her grandmother who she called GranGranDolly. This year alone, though, the girl has achieved more than most artist would in their entire career. She released another perfume called Nude, has been featured on numerous magazine covers to mention like Vogue & GQ just to name a few, has a new Fashion Show coming on the Style Network in 2013, played to numerous sold out crowds, named Vogue Italia's Woman of the Year, GQ's Obsession of the Year, and MTV's Rockstar of the Year, has done countless collaborations with singers like Drake and Chris Brown, and starred in the movie Battleship, and the list goes on and on.
Her life could read like a never-ending reaity show. Jet-setting, concerts, high-fashion clothing, adoring fans,constantly under the microscope, it is a wander how she does it all. The constant love triangle with former beau Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran to the endless tattooing of her body, she doesn't hold back on anything, but yet has a mystique and mystery about her that leaves her fans and haters wanting more. One day she could be quoting Bible verses via Twitter, then the next day she shares a picture of herself smoking a joint. This this the behavior that has made her one of the biggest popstars on the planet.
Rihanna is a self-admitted "Bad Girl" and actually very proud of it. She has never claimed to be a role model and actually doesn't want to be. With her you get what you get like it or not. Love her or hate her, this has been the "Year of The Ri". Her life has been a calling card for what you would expect of a popstar life. She has used her singing chops, body, and sexuality to create a career that seems to have no end in site. She doesn't hold back when anyone attacks her via Twitter by attacking them right back and isn't shy about her '"rich girl" lifestyle!
As she has made it clear, she is Unapologetic! With 27,000,0000+ million followers on Twitter, a rogue group of faithful fans who are described as her Navy, and a sex-appeal that hasn't been matched since the likes of Marilyn Monroe, naming Rihanna as this years Entertainer of the Year 2012 was about as easy a choice as ever! From her enviable looks, to her philanthropic donations, Rihanna is a transcending figure that will go down in history! Rihanna My Fabulous Style's 2012 Entertainer of the Year!!!!!!
Rihanna sent Chris Brown well wishes yesterday as he had to appear in court yesterday for a probation progress hearing regarding his 2009 battery case for hitting ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Rihanna tweeted:
Ri then later sent a message not directly using @ChrisBrown, but it is assumed that the message was indirectly directed at him. She tweeted:
In court, Chris failed a drug test in which he tested positive for marijuana back in June. He has a medical marijuana prescription in California, but failed the test in Virginia where its illegal. The judge in the case cut in some slack because she never order any drug testing. The case will also be moved back to California because that is where Chris lives now.
Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, seems to think that she and Chris Brown should get back together. In a recent interview with Grazia, he is quoted as saying:
"Chris has matured a lot. I think everybody has to put the past behind them. And they seem to have done that.
"Being a couple is all up to her… I just wish her the best. I hope things will work out."
"Everyone is entitled to make a mistake. Her fans are hoping it will happen. They see them as a perfect couple."
Ri is currently mourning the death of her beloved grandmother. When Rihanna's grandmother passed, Chris offered condolences last week and tweeted:
"Praying for family and the lost loved one," he wrote on his Twitter account. "She was like my grandmother. Love you GRAN GRAN! RIP.".
Rihanna is on the cover of the UK's Fitness Magazine. She keeps is simple but sexy. She also talks about her confidence, and body and her workouts. She is promoting for her up-and-coming role in the movie Battleship.
Rihanna says she gets naked alot because it boosts her confidence. She says, "The more I get naked, the more comfortable I get". She continued to say she had to face her fears.
Rihanna has conquered the music world, but now she is ready to conquer the fashion world. She has become a fashionista in her own right lighting up red carpets internationally and now she wants to take the plunge into the fashion world herself. She says she wants to gain the industry's trust and not just put her name on a line. She says that she is working with designers and companies she respect.
Rihanna has not confirmed a debut date or what types of pieces will be in the collection, but knowing her style, it will definetely have sex appeal!
