I am always on the fence when it comes to Rihanna and my feelings towards her as a celebrity in general but in the case of her on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar wearing a stunning white Calvin Klein dress, well she has won me over. Throughout the editorial the songstress dons metallic embellished duds from the likes of Tom Ford, Alexander Wang, Balmain, and Emporio Armani.

In her interview the young good girl gone bad talks her recent weightless, love and her collaboration with ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown:

On working with Chris Brown:

“We don’t want anything to do with it. I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn’t see it that way because I’m in a different place.”

On falling in love again:

“When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life. I’m afraid of feeling that again.”

On her weight loss:

“I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life! I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”
