Rihanna graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for March 2025, marking a triumphant return to the iconic fashion magazine.

This issue, dubbed the ‘Legacy Issue,’ features stunning black-and-white photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.

RIHANNA’S LOOK ON THE COVER

The photographs showcased Rihanna in a floor-length gown designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior, according to Harpersbazaar.

The cover has already sparked excitement and admiration across social media and fashion forums, with fans praising its striking aesthetic.

The Barbadian superstar, who has been a prominent figure in music and fashion, last appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar five years ago.

Her comeback is timely, as pop stars dominate the covers of major fashion publications this season.

RIHANNA AND ASAP ROCKY

Samira Nasr, the magazine’s editor-in-chief expertly captured Rihanna’s essence. It blended glamour with an air of nostalgia reminiscent of vintage Harper’s Bazaar.

In her interview accompanying the cover shoot, Rihanna opens up about her life as a mother and her partnership with A$AP Rocky, according to Just Jared.

She shared anecdotes from their time together during the pandemic, including a playful game they created called ‘Mickey Mouse.’

This game involved taking sips from fruity drinks every time they spotted a rat during their walks in Harlem. “It was fun and silly,” she recalls with laughter.

RIHANNA’S LAST ALBUM

Rihanna also discusses her evolving relationship with music.

After nearly nine years since her last album, Anti, she reveals that she has finally found a sound that resonates with her current self, according to USA Today.

“I think music is my freedom,” she states emphatically. Fans have speculated about the direction of her next project, with many hoping for a return to her Caribbean roots.

However, Rihanna insists that her new work will defy categorisation: “There’s no genre now… It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now.”

FULFILMENT AND PURPOSE

Her reflections on motherhood reveal a deep sense of fulfilment and purpose.

As she balances her roles as an artist and a parent, she expresses gratitude for the experiences that shape her legacy.

“My legacy is what I do with my time at this moment,” she says thoughtfully. This perspective resonates strongly with fans who admire her ability to juggle multiple responsibilities while staying true to herself.

The buzz around Rihanna’s cover has ignited discussions on various platforms.

FANS REACT TO THE COVER

Forum members have lauded the cover as “iconic” and “stunning,” highlighting how well it captures her fierce persona.

One user remarked, “The styling just works,” while another praised the minimal art direction that enhances the overall impact of the photograph.

Rihanna’s ability to reinvent herself while maintaining authenticity speaks volumes in an industry often marked by fleeting trends.

The anticipation surrounding her forthcoming music only adds to the excitement.

With new music on the horizon and a commitment to authenticity, she continues to captivate audiences around the globe.
