We never do this. But since it’s Rihanna...

As of today, Rihanna fans have an exclusive, one-off chance to get their hands on the special edition, subscribers-only cover that editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy describes as ‘my favourite special cover during my editorship’.

You know the one. Shot by Mariano Vivanco, it shows Rihanna in profile, thumbs tucked under the straps of her white Dion Lee top, her face obscured by a leather mask by TheatrHall. Looking hot.

ELLE’s special cover is one of the perks only subscribers receive but such is demand for this one that we’re giving every reader the opportunity to get all four Rihanna covers – the two available on the newsstand, the subscribers-only cover and our exclusive-to-River Island version – by downloading the digital edition of the magazine.

It couldn’t be simpler. You can subscribe on your iPad now, et voila: it’s no longer the one that got away.

Enjoy. And, you’re welcome.
