Best Shoot of Rihanna

After months of a hiatus, Rihanna (AKA badgalriri) came back to Instagram. 

She also used the social media site to debut a stunning new shootfor Elle's December 2014 issue. 

The images, shot by photographer Paola Kudacki, are some of RiRi's most stunning ever. We see her in minimal makeup and decked out in everything from Armani to Dior to Valentino. The star proves that no matter what she's wearing or how little makeup she's wearing, she's certainly still one of the baddest in the game. 

Is personal style an art? In the case of Rihanna, she who has redefined what modern pop Icon: dom looks like, the answer is a resounding yes. And as her candid shoot in the December issue of ELLE reveals, her ongoing project is one in a constant, glorious state of flux.

Here's music’s most massive star as we've never seen her before—all dressed up in fall couture, but boldly stripped down. Introducing the real Rihanna: strong, uncompromising, and radically beautiful.
"F**k Bitches, Get Money": Rihanna as you've never seen(or heard) her before.

Kanye West on the GQ cover

Last week Kanye West's latest GQ cover was officially revealed, where the fashion icon graces the August 2014 issue of the storied publication. This marks the second time West has covered the magazine, the first being December 2007.The cover and accompanying editorial were shot by Patrick Demarchelier and styled by GQ creative director Jim Moore. The resulting outfits were a collaboration between two of menswear's most prominent figures, not just West himself as erroneously reported.

"It's not about having a lot of clothes," West tells the magazine. "It's about a few favorites." Throughout the editorial, he switches up classic 6-inch wheat Timberland boots with crisp adidas sneakers like the Stan Smith and the Pure Boost, one of the best sneakers we've seen this year. Other notable pieces include the Airport Sweater and white Kanye Jeans from his latest A.P.C. collaboration, leather pants from En Noir, and the Wes Lang-customized leather jacket first seen at his nuptials with Kim Kardashian.
