We’re used to seeing the racier side of Rihanna these days, so it was a very welcome change to see her looking angelic and innocent on the cover of the Harper’s Bazaar US August issue.

The Barbadian singer is posing in some of the sleekest new season pieces in the editorial too, from the likes of Emporio Armani (naturally), Balmain, Alexander Wang and Tom Ford. This definitely has to be one of our favourite Rihanna magazine photoshoots we’ve seen in years. We love her glowing bronzed skin, raven locks and barely there make-up; we think photographer Camilla Akrans, stylist Mel Ottenberg and make-up artist Mylam Morales worked seamlessly together to really capture Ri-Ri’s innocence.

We’re also very intrigued by the “Rihanna uncensored” headline… we thought Rihanna was already as uncensored as they come, so really looking forward to finding out more.
