Rihanna poses topless for fashion shoot in Elle magazine's December issue In the high fashion shoot photographed by Paola Kudacki, the multi-talented singer has turned her hand to modelling. For the editorial she sports a stunning array of haute couture designs by the likes of Dior, Giambattista Valli, Schiaparelli, and Valentino. In one image she barely covers her modesty in a revealing shot which shows her clad in just an intricate necklace by luxury jewellers, Yeprem. In another shot she's pictured pouting at the camera wearing just a black and red veil from the haute couture collection by Giorgio Armani. For the cover image Rihanna is pictured uncharacteristically covered up in a black and white bustier and gown by Atelier Versace. Despite professing in the interview for the publication, that she is actually "shy" Bad Gal Riri as she is known on social media, is obviously rather pleased with the shoot sharing numerous images on her Instagram account. Rihanna is no stranger to revealing photoshoots, last year she posed with little more than a snake to cover her in a shoot styled by Damian Hirst for GQ magazine. She is well established in the fashion industry; starring in campaigns for the likes of Balmain and collaborating with brands including MAC and River Island. She also has a reputation for somewhat daring red carpet ensembles, she famously went to the CFDA awards earlier this year in a sheer dress embellished with Swarovski crystals by Adam Selman. Just last week she attended a charity gala in Los Angeles wearing a gown by Tom Ford which featured nipple pastie-type designs. The December issue of Elle is on newstands on 18 November.
