Rihanna: The Interview
They say in life we all swim with sharks. But that's not enough for Rihanna. On the 40th anniversary of Jaws, she faces off with three eight-foot predators in our March 2015 Issue. See the underwater fashion shoot here. Plus, watch Rihanna's new music video "FourFiveSeconds" featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney here.
Asking someone to jump in a shark tank for the sake of fashion is an exercise in insanity. But Rihanna is not just someone. When I talked to her about the concept last fall, she just thought it was "cool." (Her team was slightly more anxious.) Cut to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, one day in December. In the tank live three sand tiger sharks, none shorter than eight feet long. The sharks are used to divers, but photographers and pop stars are another thing entirely. Photographer Norman Jean Roy donned a scuba suit and jumped in. Rihanna followed—a dozen dives, and three outfit changes, while the sharks circled her intently. When the shoot was done, she was shivering, more cold than "cool." Then she flew to Germany. Just another day in the life of a global pop star who spends her life swimming with sharks.
LAURA BROWN: Swimming with sharks is not only scary, it's a big metaphor. How did you learn to swim with the sharks of life?
RIHANNA: I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks … sharks swim with sharks.
LB: Did you watch Jaws as a kid? Did it scare you or thrill you?
R: Both! It freaked me out because I was a beach baby, so every time a new Jaws came out I would take months off from the beach or just sit on the sand. If I happened to get in the water, my dad would hum the theme music, and I was right back out of it. But that was really my fault because I was obsessed with Jaws. Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.
LB: Would you say you're adventurous? What is the greatest adventure you've been on, and what would you like to do?
R: Greatest adventure? Are you kidding me? I just did a photo shoot in the midst of sharks. It's going to be pretty hard to beat that.
LB: You are fearless with your style, but in what ways are you fearless in life?
R: I think I'm like most people—we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don't deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it's very hard not to be fearless.
LB: Being famous for a decade now, you would have had to develop a thick skin. In what ways are you tough, and in what ways are you sensitive?
R: This skin has been developing since my first day at school. It didn't happen after fame; I couldn't survive fame if I didn't already have it. So sometimes the toughest thing in life is to be vulnerable. I'm not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they're going through. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing, but it's the truth.
LB: You're about to release a new album. How ambitious are you, having achieved so much? Are you competitive at all?
R: I am very ambitious! It's ridiculous how much I want to put on my plate, which is already full. I am sensitive to what my team is going through. Actually I'm lying. They get no sympathy … we love what we do!
LB: You've been killing it stylewise. Do you have to psych yourself up for a daring red-carpet look or do you just go for it?
R: The way I dress depends on how I feel. I never have to psych myself up. Usually it just feels like it works.
LB: What has been your favorite red-carpet look ever?
R: My favorite red-carpet looks are usually the ones I get to help design: the Adam Selman Swarovski crystal dress at the CFDAs, the Stella McCartney all-white dress at the Met Gala, and the Adam Selman white jersey dress from the VMAs. But the red Azzedine Alaïa at the Grammys is also one of my favorites.
LB: Whose style would you like to steal for a day?
R: Zac Posen and his sick custom suits … and the hair.
LB: Is there a line, fashionwise, that you would never cross—something you would never wear?
R: I don't like to commit to those kind of rules. You never know.
LB: How much maintenance does your style take—hair, nails, fittings, et cetera?
R: At times a lot of maintenance, and at times none. I have a job that requires quite a lot of glam, and I have a great team that helps me with that. But sometimes, like when I'm in the studio or on vacation, there's little to no maintenance.
LB: What was behind your return to Instagram? Did you miss it? How much does connecting with your fans daily mean to you?
R: I … like … pictures! And that's the bottom line.
LB: How do you feel about censorship on social media? Should the nipple be truly free?
R: The C-word?!!! I don't even know how to spell that.
LB: What makes a BadGal in 2015?
R: You're about to find out.
LB: What do you want to achieve this year, in life and in love?
R: The same goal I set every year—to be happy.
LB: Who is your most unexpected friend?
R: I have friends from rock stars to Rastas; I don't even know what an unexpected friend is at this point.
LB: Do you make new friends easily?
R: No.
LB: What is a perfect day for you?
R: The day I wake up without cellulite? Now that would be the perfect day.
LB: What is your guilty pleasure?
R: Reality TV. I can't get enough of it.
LB: Finally, how do you eat goddamn pasta every day and still look like that?
R: You mean how I got my cellulite?

Rihanna rocks the cover of i-D's music issue!
Over ten years, seven albums, seven Grammys, two Brits and countless number ones, Rihanna has gone from teen ingénue to worldwide icon. With her eighth album, R8, due any day, we Pour It Up to the Good Girl who we hope will always stay Bad!
In The Music Issue of i-D we turn up the volume on the pop stars, rock stars and DJs rocking our worlds, and meet the fashion designers for whom music inspires everything they do. She last released an album in 2012, but Rihanna's finally back and on the cover of your favourite magazine. To celebrate her eighth studio album, R8, we meet Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the reigning queen of pop. While details of Ri's new album still remain under wraps, rumours of collaborations with Mike WiLL Made-It, Ne-Yo, DJ Mustard, Kiesza, Sam Smith and Rae Sremmurd have set anticipation at an all time high. Team this with last month's stealth pre-release of FourFiveSeconds, an unexpected acoustic jam with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, and it's fair to say suspense is skyrocketing.
"She really is one of the most creative, talented and inspiring women I've ever had the pleasure of working with," says i-D's Fashion Director Alastair McKimm, who teamed up with Rihanna and Paolo Roversi for i-D's cover shoot in Paris. "The energy and enthusiasm she brings is intense. She's the ultimate icon of our time."
He's been on repeat on the i-D stereo since mid last year, and his star is firmly in the ascendant. We travel to Minnesota to meet Corbin, aka Spooky Black, the 16-year-old internet sensation whose glitchy musings on love, lust and sex are spearheading the sound of a new generation. We also chat tunes with best mates Dev 'Blood Orange' Hynes and Adam Bainbridge, aka Kindness, and meet Charli XCX, the Hackney raver turned realest pop star of our generation. From Berlin to Burning Man, clubbing is becoming more commercial every year; Boiler Room's Editor-in-Chief Joe Muggs questions the future of London's club scene, while Popjustice's Peter Robinson reflects on what it really means to be a fan. From Stormzy, to Rag'N'Bone Man, Novelist and Karma Kid, i-D's Music Editors Hattie Collins, James Hutchins and Francesca Dunn profile the hottest singers, songwriters and rappers to watch out for in the year ahead.
We also shoot Sky Ferreira and Alice Glass in the latest spring/summer 15 fashion, ponder the power of the boyband with StereoKicks, and chat comebacks with pop princess Lily Allen. There's new music from Marilyn Manson, Jamie xx, Elliphant, Sampha, 18+ and Communions, and an exclusive playlist is yours to download so you can listen as you read. i-D's notorious Mix Night is back with the bang this month and we want to party with you! So keep your eyes and ears tuned to i-D.co to bag yourself a ticket to this year's hottest event, where you can party with the i-D team and watch the artists from this issue perform live.
This issue, it's fair to say, the music sounds better with you!

Her looks are always unexpected and they vary so much - whereas with Lady Gaga for example, you know what she's going to show up in and what her hair and face will be like. Rihanna is always doing something different with her clothes, hair and makeup. She's having fun and it's enjoyable to see it.
