Rihanna does it again! She has graced us with an amazing British Vogue cover and this one makes a major statement for black culture. On this cover Rihanna wore the first durag to ever be featured on the cover of British Vogue.
The durag is a staple in black beauty for both men & women. It is a piece of fabric that has become so focal in current fashion and Rihanna rocks it proudly. The styling for this shoot is so on point. The stylist Edward Enninful states on Instagram, “
The May 2020 issue of @BritishVogue portrays @BadGalRiri for a new decade – non-conforming, authoritative and exuding style.
He featured designers like Maison Margiela and Rick Owens who are known for pieces that be can appear very unisex. Using structured pieces and mixing them with more form-fitting pieces is so amazing to me and something that I use in my personal style today. Rihanna has always been able to step outside of boundaries that normal standards stand by. Let’s use this cover to show that the culture is taking steps and breaking boundaries that most people wouldn’t think we would.
