Rihanna Topless For Esquire

The secret is out, ‘Battleship‘ starlet Rihanna is on the cover of the July issue of UK Esquire magazine.

Unfortunately for us the publication isn’t releasing the cover just yet, but to whet our appetite they have released a sneak preview of the blonde-haired ‘Where Have You Been‘ singer’s sexy editorial. For the drool-worthy shoot, the 24-year-old goes topless in two of the shots — not an unfamiliar territory at all — and dons a dominatrix bondage bodysuit in another shot, leaving very little to the imagination.

Riri opens up to the magazine about her controversial breakup with Chris Brown.

Jennifer Lopez Red Hot For Vogue

It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez has one of the most gorgeous bodies in Hollywood, so it comes as no surprise that the ‘American Idol‘ goddess has landed the cover of the April ‘Body Issue’ of US Vogue magazine.

Sporting side-swept hair, the 42-year-old singer looks statuesque, matching her Bottega Veneta chiffon dress with her ruby-red lips on the Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-shot cover. The sea is becoming a familiar territory for Vogue, cover-stars such as Rihanna, Charlize Theron and Meryl Streep have all been snapped ashore in recent months. Maybe the deep blue sea gives Anna Wintour happy thoughts.

Rihanna Is Back As An Armani Girl

R&B diva Rihanna makes a sexy, yet understated, return as the face of Armani Jeans and Armani Underwear.

The 23-year-old songbird underplays it in comparison to the bold, raunchy and high-fashion look she went for during her debut as the brand’s ambassador. Lensed by top photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the ‘Talk That Talk‘ singer strips down to her undies and innocently flaunts her curves for Armani Underwear’s Spring/Summer Ad campaign (Top).

Below Riri works the camera in the latest denim designs — love the monochrome striped shorts — from the brand, in the natural-looking black and white shots for Armani Jeans’ latest print campaign.

All The Fashion At The 2011 American Music Awards

The 39th Annual American Music Awards took place last night (20 November) and was it the biggest snoozefest of the year. The red carpet was one big doze-off too, with red carpet firm favourites Lady Gaga, Rihanna (both in the UK) and Beyonce (attending the ‘Live At Roseland: Elements Of 4‘ screening) not making an appearance. Highlights of the night included British songstress Adele finally getting some American recognition, with her critically acclaimed album ‘21‘ winning favourite album as well as pop crooner Bruno Mars surprisingly and deservedly winning favourite male artist over teen sensation Justin Bieber.

Jennifer Lopez proved she still got it in this on-the-floor length Zuhair Murad gown.

American Idol alum Adam Lambert once again grabbed our attention in his interesting ensemble.

‘Modern Family‘ actress Julie Bowen looked a mess in her mini dress and messy hair. This look would have been more fitting for her much younger co-star below.

It girl Sarah Hyland underwhelmed in her beaded dress.

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez got loveydovey, with Selena failing to impress in her satin Armani dress.

Rocking a side ponytail, Taylor Swift looked beautiful in a Reem Acra glittery strapless gown. Wait a minute, haven’t we seen this dress on her before?!
