I love Rihanna but this is nothing compared to her July 2010 cover. That was all areas chic, this is all areas bad. The styling is horrid, the hair is so thick and nasty and her rugged fierce wannabe facial expression is bad!

Elle must really be regretting this since Rihanna and her new hair is rocking it in all areas!

seriously, could it be any worse?

 

[gossiping]

wow i strangely love it, i love the styling (apart from her hair!) and the text as well very interesting

 

[GarageGlamorous]

I don't even know what to say... The editorial is uberly hideous as well, there's one shot in which her hair is particularly screaming S.O.S please someone help me it's not healthy!
What happened to US Elle? They're always delivering the same boring covers with the same text and same angle. Seriously, they're in need of a huge revamp

hate the cover: she looks cheap there! Her hair like this + this hiddeous outfit on the cover = major fail! And the editorial is bad as well, such a letdown because Rihanna is FABULOUS so to end with something like this, it sucks!

Pose is awful. Hair is awful. Styling is awful. Expression is awful.

^You said it...awful cover is awful.

I thought that Elle was making a comeback but this is a setback

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

There's something very appealing about this. Idk if it's because of the full Versace ensemble but I strangely love it.

 

[Handbag Queen]

Is this going to be another year where Rihanna makes the rounds on the cover of all of the US fashion mags? I really hope not. Saw way too much of her in 2011 and am still recovering!
I actually like her music, but the publicty last year was overkill to the hilt!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

The expression is crazy, and since its a white background all that nasty text just jumps at you!

 

[fluxxx]

oh Lord, that hair is nasty! awful cover but the first shot from her ed is pretty nice actually, mainly because her hair looks better

 

[GlamorousBoy]

awful and vulgar in very bad way...

I think this is much better than most of their recent covers. I don't like the cover, but it's better than their boring black/white/red colour scheme ones they've had lately.

i agree the rest of it looks really cheap and skanky I wish they had shot with her latest hairstyle

 

[Srdjan]

Fuj! There's just something that's not working in this cover, I can't explain what!

 

[jeremydante]

wow. you guys are making a bigger deal about this cover than needed. the cover is not THAT bad, i feel like most of the negative comments are much more closely related to how people feel personally about rihanna.

i will say though, judging from the editorial feature, they could have gotten a better shot. the cover is very in-line with rih's current image though, which i commend. love the blonde wig with the exposed roots. rihanna navy will eat this up at newstands. trust.
