Post-Apocalyptic Songstress Covers

This W Magazine Collector's Issue Features Rihanna

— August 3, 2016 — Fashion
This newly unveiled W Magazine Collector's Issue features songstress and style icon Rihanna who channels a post-apocalyptic monarch in the photoshoot. The publication's September 2016 installment is both edgy and opulent, featuring a gorgeous cover -- a closeup of Rihanna's face as she dons gleaming crown, choker and lip jewels along with an ornate golden monacle that contrasts a sequined red lip.

Inside this W Magazine Collector's issue, fans will find more theatrical and dystopian portraits of Rihanna who is depicted while sporting a dramatic and sculptural wardrobe. This editorial's fashion picks include staples from Christian Dior and Prada among other couture heavyweights while its images are captured by the talented Steven Klein who collaborates with W's creative director Edward Enninful and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker.
