It girl Rihanna is all smiles on the August cover of InStyle Magazine. I absolutely adore this magazine. I just wish they'd use more women of color to grace their stylish pages, so since their celebrating Rihanna's fashion sense I guess they're "trying." The "Take A Bow" singer looked amazing of course, as their lovely cover girl. Rihanna said, "I love to play to both side of my personality--the girlie and the tough. That's what makes my style different." I couldn't agree more. Her style icon--believe it or not is the one and only Grace Jones. Who knew? And like most girls has her favorite go to designers, " I love designer Martin margiela; Kanye West told me about him. I also like Dsquared, Chloe', and Zac Posen, he makes flattering lines." So far, 2008 has definitely been Rihanna's year. A Grammy win, a cosmetic contract with Cover Girl, platinum selling album, having the chicest haircut, and a smokin hot he's not my boyfriend-boyfriend (Chris Brown). Most recently the 20-year old diva became the new face of the 2008 Gucci UNICEF campaign. Pretty cool. Her beautiful face will be featured in"The Tattoo Heart" ads, which will have special edition Gucci products bearing a tattoo style heart motif; 25 percent of sales will benefit the UNICEF. Not only is Rihanna gorgeous, but she's a humanitarian as well. All toghether now...Aaahhhh. InStyle is on newsstands now!
