The Rihanna global publicity full-court-press continues: this time it's a spread for the upcoming issue of AnOther magazine, shot by the ubiquitous fashion duo Inez and Vinoodh (who are also responsible for the "FourFiveSeconds" vid). In the low-contrast black-and-white photos, Rihanna rocks leather gear, a cat-mask, sculptural stilettos, and nipple-baring suspenders, all from Alexander McQueen. Her hair is pressed flat with an exaggerated flip at the end, with adorably tiny bangs that put Beyonce to shame. We love the casualness of her nudity here—it's just another element of a beautifully constructed shot. Buy ten copies to wallpaper your house with when the issue drops February 19, but in the meantime, see the full spread here.
