Rih Rih for the 2014 and beyond

Vogue‘s been in the headlines often as of late, but not because of their latest cover. In case you haven’t heard, Kanye West is leading a tantalizing campaign in an attempt to convince Anna Wintour–the infamous editor-in-chief of the prestigious magazine–to place his fiance, Kim Kardashian, on the cover of the coveted publication.

He’ll have to wait at least another month.

Rihanna, who was noticeably absent from the bustling music scene last year–it was the first year she didn’t release a 4th quarter LP since 2008–but we have an inkling that it was all for good reason. Rih’s expected to put out her next album later this year, but she’s already off to a good start. Check out the songstress’ innocently intriguing aura on the cover of this leaked photo of March’s Vogue, which will apparently detail Rih’s transformation from displaced pop star to fashion icon.
