Rihanna embodies beauty and fashion famously.

For BAZAAR’s May issue, the singer, fashion icon, and makeup mogul stages the ultimate one-woman show in the season’s most daring beauty looks and show-stopping couture.

Glenda Bailey, Editor in Chief of Harper’s BAZAAR, notes in her Editor’s Letter: “The incredible feat of design that is couture fashion calls for an equally impressive person to wear it. Our cover star, Rihanna, is fully up to the task. The multitalented artist, entertainer, and entrepreneur wears museum-worthy masterpieces ranging from rainbow Givenchy to embellished Chanel with a confident ease.”
