Fabulous Femme Fatale Tributes

The Rihanna Vogue UK November 2011 Shoot is Marilyn Monroe Inspired

The Rihanna Vogue UK November 2011 photo spread completely takes my breath away. In what may be the pop singer's most stunning photo shoot to date, the Barbados native gets sultry and does her best Marilyn Monroe impression.

Sure, the provocative singer may not be the first celebrity you would think to dress up like Marilyn -- and pull it off flawlessly, at that -- but Rihanna somehow manages to appear sensual, elegant and sexy all at the same time.

The Rihanna Vogue UK November 2011 spread shows the singer donning yet another blonde wig similar to the one she sported in her recently revealed Armani ads. Rihanna also appears in Armani in the Vogue spread, wearing one of the fashion house's oriental-style dresses from the couture collection.
