Rihanna: ELLE April covers revealed (video)

Scroll down for video...

Here they are, ladies and gentleman.... The two ELLE April Rihanna covers you’ve been waiting for.

You’ve been clamouring to see the pictures since we first unveiled Rihanna as our newest cover star two weeks ago. And we loved the shoot so much we decided to release two special covers onto newsstands on Wednesday, 6 March.

Shot in Paris by Mariano Vivanco, Rihanna shows off pieces from her spring/summer 2013 collection for River Island on both: a black, zip-through River Island skirt paired with a Louis Vuitton monochrome top on one and on the other, a striped bra from the same collection peeking out from Prada’s silk and satin stole.

Incredible fashion aside, you won’t want to miss Ri’s best ever interview (if we do say so ourselves), with Mark Allen, who spent a day – and night – with her in Paris, as well as a week on her now-infamous 777 plane trip.

Stick with ELLEUK.COM for more unmissable news and pics from the shoot to come – plus, we’ll be revealing extracts from the cover interview this weekend.

Can’t wait that long? Go behind the scenes with Rihanna herself in our exclusive video, below.

ELLE's April 2013 issue hits newsstands on Wednesday, 6 March. Rihanna for River Island launches Tuesday, 5 March.
