Shot by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, the Vanity Fair November 2015 cover features sultry singer Rihanna in the midst of Cuban backgrounds. Rihanna has been especially provocative as of late, with her see-through dress at the C.F.D.A. awards and this magazine spread isn't any different.
The cover shows off the Barbadian singer's long legs and luscious locks that are currently an unnaturally fiery red. It features her, rather unimaginatively, leaning against a powder blue Cuban classic car, dressed in a distressed denim romper with a plunging v-line.
Other images from the Vanity Fair November spread are even more seductive, one provocatively showing the celebrity's bare bottom as she lays face down on a bed in what appears to be a beautifully vintage, yet dilapidated, Cuban bedroom.
