Check out a sneak peek look at Rihanna’s cover shoot for the April issue of Elle UK!

The ‘Fresh Off The Runway’ singer was shot by photographer Mariano Vivanco and according to Lorraine Candy, the editor-in-chief of UK ELLE, this subscriber’s issue serves as one of four alternative covers. Rihanna shot the shoot at a studio in Paris, posing it up in several monochrome outfits. The Elle shoot follows the debut of her River Island collection at London Fashion Week which was met with very mixed reviews. Her Elle UK issue is slated to hit all good newsstands on March 6th.

River Island also released some behind-the-scenes video from the first Rihanna for River Island fashion show. Peep the footage of the models preparing for the show while Rihanna works with her stylist Mel Ottenberg to make sure they all look immaculate!
