This week Def Jam revealed the cover art to Rihanna‘s new dance single, “Only Girl (In the World).” In it the Bajan pop princess sits nude in a field, blanketed by a red rose dress. Though she’s somewhat naked, it doesn’t come off as a risqué look like some of the other racy shots she’s taken in the past. Remember those pictures she took for GQ in January?
This, more fashion house artsy and elegant, has nothing on those. Let us know what you think of it.

Pretty picture and I’m glad to see the different hairstyle! I was getting tired of the other…
How could you ever be sick of a Rihanna hair cut? They don’t last longer than 2 weeks ever.
i love u
Looks like she posed for these pics the same day they filmed Eminem & her video for “Love The Way You Lie”. Anyone else find it funny how a label will release the ‘artwork’ for the single but keeping us waiting another week & a half til the 21st to release the single to iTunes?
She looks like Ronald McDonald’s slutty cousin.
Yoh…shame
It’s a nice picture. It just matches with the theme of the song.
What is with girls and blue/red hair?!?!?!?!!? i’m so sick of it. Besides that, it’s fine. A little Katy Perry CA Gurls, perhaps.
Elegant pic for an awful song.
She is like a moon theway is shine even her lips
I actually think it’s pretty. What else shocks me is that I really like the song. Can’t hate, lol.
gosh ppl… she totally looks nice
she so hot danmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
If she was the ‘only girl in the world’ i wouldn’t want her, at least not based on this photo. I mean Rihannas hot but this picture is just so idk. I’m not liking it.

Presentations of beautiful women, especially when well done, has always been a popular expression of art and photography and has sometimes creates interest and controversy. This example is artistic and serves the intent of the artists. Keep on creating! Monty Ousley Weddell Thee Art Gallery Dallas, Tx
Well said Monty, exactly what I was thinking. With time comes wisdom.
I often feel she sings my hearts songs. ‘That Rihanna just won’t let up’ and we love her for it!!
