You’ve probably already noticed that pop stars are currently all the rage on the covers of your favorite fashion glossies. Sabrina Carpenter channels Madonna (circa 1991) on American Vogue, while Lady Gaga fronts ELLE. Ariana Grande stars on Vogue Italia, Addison Rae rocks an 80s makeover via the cover of Vogue France, and Tyla sports Balenciaga on British Vogue. Samira Nasr now embraces Rihanna for the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for March 2025. The Barbadian singer and businesswoman returns to the cover of the Hearst-owned fashion title, five years after her last. Nasr commissioned photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez for the occasion, with Carlos Nazario on styling duties. In the arresting black and white portrait cover image, Rihanna works a floor-length creation designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior.

“The cover is stunning and looks iconic. I love everything about it. I think that Rihanna looks fierce in all of the photographs. The styling just works,” instantly praised MModa.
“I think this cover is great and love her mimicking the A in the logo. It’s like vintage Harper’s Bazaar,” admired forum member ellarchivist.
Also very much a fan was vogue28. “One of the strongest American Harper’s Bazaar cover shoots I’ve encountered in quite some time. This is GORGEOUS. The cover shot itself is so strong and striking, love the use of the profile cover shot with the minimal art direction. From styling to photography, it’s just ALL working,” he praised.
