Rihanna had told Vogue UK, "Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right, or work an outfit that will make people go, 'What the hell is she wearing?'"
Rihanna has never failed to impress the fashionistas with her inclination towards the extreme fashion. She constantly experiments with her look and has spanned every designer wear from Chanel to Christian Dior. Her hair style changes constantly. She has adorned herself in a variety of looks and has constantly looked different with changing trends and evolving fashion cycle. Chic, futuristic, 40s elegance, floral, military, Hollywood glam and retro... She has pulled it all, quite successfully.

No matter what, Rihanna's variety of chic, glamorous and outrageous style choices makes her a definite trendsetter and there is no question that it was a much anticipated cover shoot from Vogue UK.

There are times when the process of experimentation fails and she ended up looking bizarre like in picture below. Rihanna had earlier reported saying she would never wear bubbles or ham. But that doesn't stop her from wearing outrageous layers of chiffon from Viktor & Rolf Spring/Summer 2010 collection. She is bold enough to dye her hair red but it need even more guts to wear those floral prints head to toe or to wear that asymmetric hem line jumpsuit!!

Rihanna was photographed by Alasdair McLellan wearing Armani Privé. The Vogue UK cover looks neat and clean with no overloaded non-sense text. While many would agree that Rihanna looks stunning and this makes a perfect eye-catching cover shoot, I disagree with the same for more than one reason. Vogue US April 2011 cover featuring Rihanna looks 5 times better for 5 different reasons.

Photoshopped: The Vogue UK cover looks much fake and photoshopped. We all know that Rihanna doesn't have the model-type-skinny body and that's exactly is what is great about her body. She doesn't have the typical skinny figure and is yet one of the best bodies out there. The UK cover looks highly photoshopped especially around the shoulders and arms. The manually added contouring is pretty much evident while the other Vogue cover is all about SHAPE.
Hair: Rihanna's flaming hair in Vogue US cover looks red hot. Rihanna looks gorgeous being herself with the red hair while the blonde hair in Vogue UK cover looks highly fake and can pass on as a cheap wig!
Skin: Is it only me or Rihanna actually appears 'WHITER' than her natural brown skin in the Vogue UK cover? :O
Face: While the Vogue US cover shoot captures the singer's face with smoking hot with red pout from the front angle, the Vogue UK cover looks much more unsophisticated with up-the-nose angle.
Dress: There is no doubt that Rihanna is well styled and looks gorgeous in Armani Privé in Vogue UK cover. It is just that the Chanel dress in Vogue US scores over the Armani Prive in Vogue UK. It is very revealing yet makes you keep guessing. Chanel was always known for being chic and classy and it's amazing the way Rihanna made it look HOT and ALLURING.
P.S. The blue negative space/background was accidental or intentional?
