"The mother of all comebacks" well that aged like milk. At least they showed the baby's face. I hate when celebs put babies on covers but cover their face.

The cover is too Hello Magazine style & I&V tried to be Annie Leibovitz using her photography tecnic.
I saw a few shots of the main story & are a little bit better than the cover.

It's sad to see that this is the best EE can do.... I am so over celebrities anyway, and Rihanna is so boring. She has the personality of a dead fish. We've seen her on covers of major magazines back to back for the past 10 years...Bazaar, Vogue, Bazaar, Vogue, Vogue, Bazaar...Bazaar, Vogue.... These people love to be glorified, and to glorify their friends.... I remember the times when people had to actually do something to get a major cover..I am nostalgic of those times. These magazines are so predictable, including the photography. These days legendary tardiness will get you a cover of Vogue. Tardiness is not a lifestyle that should be glorified, it's rudeness.

Reads more like American Vogue than it does British, indeed feels very Annie Leibovitz and could have most definitely been infinitely better considering we've got Rihanna and I&V. However, I am somewhat obsessed with that huge wild hair on Rihanna!

EDITOR'S LETTER
Not long before she gave birth last May, I had dinner with Rihanna in Los Angeles. Needless to say she was in the throes of doing pregnancy her way: wearing a hot-pink, body-hugging minidress trimmed with feathers. There was a palpable joy in her eyes as she discussed her plans for the coming weeks while she awaited the birth of her son.
The next time we met in person it was seven months later, when I walked into a motorhome on a clifftop overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, to find the nine-time Grammy Award winner and era-defining fashion icon in the midst of changing a nappy. “Everything changes when you have a baby,” Rihanna tells Vogue this month, speaking in depth for the first time about her early months of motherhood.
And it’s true. Everything had changed. Alongside her partner, A$AP Rocky, the trio had embarked on a journey like no other, albeit one that will be familiar to many. Cocooned in exhausted bliss, the young family has spent much of the past year falling in love with each other, secluded away from the eyes of the world. But now Rihanna is returning to the limelight – and how.
At last Sunday’s Super Bowl, the star performed solo and live for the first time in seven years to jaw-dropping effect. “I’m going to say yes to the Super Bowl in the middle of postpartum...” she tells Vogue’s European features director, Giles Hattersley. “What the heck am I thinking?” This being Rihanna, she didn’t stop there however. She also took the moment to announce to the world that she is pregnant again, as more than 100 million people watched at home. Like everyone else, I was in awe. “If Rihanna can do the Super Bowl Halftime Show while pregnant and mother to a nine month old, I wonder what else I can get done today,’ I joked with my team. Next up is her Oscar nomination for “Lift Me Up”, the song she recorded for the recent Black Panther movie, as well as the promise of new music and her ever-expanding beauty and fashion empires. “Everything is full throttle,” she says.
To herald the beginning of this new chapter, one that is ushering in a new kind of life, Rihanna and Rocky wanted to do something special. So it was that, along with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, I arrived in Malibu to take the first portraits of the new family. For Riri it was never going to be without edge, though naturally we spent most of the day cooing over the baby. I’m so proud to introduce to you the definition of a modern family.
This March issue is also a fashion bonanza. Our bountiful Trends section heralds the key moods for the new season, from laid-back luxury to the Vogue spin on contemporary grunge, metallics and popping colour. Do not shop without it. Meanwhile, we meet a cross-section of the activists, lawyers and policymakers working tirelessly to tackle the ever-present spectre of gendered violence against women. Their brilliance and commitment truly give me hope.

First thing I thought of when I saw her style in these was Vanity (so probably just 80s in general)... Certainly nowhere near her best but I'd rather see it than other abominations (I could do without Rocky on the cover as well)

A mix of Tina and Cher. Should have been her with the baby alone. Some of the pics looks like the baby campaign of Gucci under Tom Ford. I don't dislike it at all, but is not for the win either. PD: Father is more handsome than Kanye, by far. My tolerance is there, but he belongs to GQ, ASAP music is not a match with Vogue values, hahaha. Should have been a crossover between Vogue and GQ a la Portugal editions.

If we hadn't seen the BTS pictures months ago, I would've assumed they were photoshopped into the beach setting. Terrible composition and terrible choice of cover image.
I feel like the portrait of Rihanna with the child would've made a much better cover. It's more conventional and Rihanna looks absolutely stunning, which is the whole point after all. I do love how the big hairstyle looks on her, but it looks unfinished at the bottom... love the image in the yellow dress, she looks fierce. Not sure why the random bouquet is placed where it is, but let's choose to overlook that.

I'm sorry but the styling is way too grunge for anything involving a baby. The optics of everything is just so shallow. I know she lives on her own terms but this looks like a fashion editorial with the baby as a proper/afterthought. Now a new mum showing off her bub.
I always try to keep it in but it just baffles me that someone at Rihanna's level of fame, beauty and success would go for a blip on the radar rapper (I'll give you 5mins to come up with an Asap Rocky song!) with a string of criminal convictions as long as your arm PLUS he actually saw the inside of a jail cell? Why would she willingly choose to tie herself to such a man eternally?
I suppose if her romantic track record is anything to go by, then Asap does level up. She consistently chose the most bottom barrel men to date.
Oh, you went there.

it would be a struggle if you asked for 3 but he did put out a decent album like 11 years ago lmao.. PMW anyone? how about me and you and you and I..? no? okay
. Real question is, has he put out another one ever since? it seems chasing the Owens was his full time job before becoming well.. whatever he’s doing on the cover.

The hair! Even her expression tells us that she wasnt feeling it. The baby literally owned the cover and ed.
