The famous Ellen Von Unwerth photographed a half-dressed Rihanna for Esquire UK's December 2014 issue. This is not the first project the two have worked on together; Unwerth also photographed the cover of Rihanna's album 'Rated R.'

This time around, the pop star shows off her rocking body in a series of steamy shots -- especially the one where she's aiming the steady stream of a shower nozzle down the front of her underwear. Take that for Rated R!

Since the issue is dedicated to food and drink, Esquire UK asked Rihanna to share some of her [favorite recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-4-box). She happily obliged, teaching readers how to make a delicious [rum punch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tingly-jam-cocktail) and Barbados-style shepherd's pie -- just in time for the holidays!
