That’s Harper’s BAZAAR’ March issue cover girl Rihanna, powerhouse singer, actress, and designer, taking flight, and channeling Amelia Earhart in looks that are utilitarian, modern and sexy.

Rihanna on Amelia Earhart and her fearlessness in taking on a man’s world:

“There’s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer. Amelia Earhart was such a dynamic force in her industry, setting multiple aviation records in her time. So it was a no-brainer for me to team up with Harper’s BAZAAR in honor of a woman who held her own with the big boys.”
