We knew it was coming and it's finally here.
Rihanna spilled the beans last month, photographer Annie Leibovitz cosigned and now we've got visual confirmation of RiRi's second American Vogue cover.
The 24-year-old superstar Instagramed a photo of the November 2012 issue on Saturday and writing:
While the "Diamonds" singer served a Little Mermaid 2.0 look in a shimmering curve-hugging gown and siren red hair for her first Vogue cover in April 2011--this time around she was shot rocking her cute new pixie hair cut and a strapless red frock while kneeling in a wheat field. It's definitely not the most glamorous image we've seen from RiRi or Vogue, for that matter, but leave it to one of the sexiest women alive to make a little dress on the prairie look naughty.
The issue drop is perfectly timed with the star's alleged reconciliation with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and the release of her new album "Unapologetic" on November 19.
Rihanna has already made the short list of black women who have covered Vogue and now she's amongst an even smaller list of those who have been bestowed with the honor more than once. Not even Beyonce can boast that!
