Rihanna is not only setting a new trend with her super thin eyebrows but she’s also making history. For the first time in British Vogue?s 102-year history, the publication?s famed September issue will feature a black woman on its cover.

British Vogue also features the superstar in alternating cover shots.
Rihanna reportedly had ample input on the fall fashion cover, remaining, as always, an active collaborator in her imaging. The Vogue UK cameras captured her in conference with Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful, discussing what would become an iconic first for both creatives.
News of Rihanna’s history making cover comes hot on the heels of the announcement of Beyonc? as the cover star of American Vogue?s September issue, for which she recruited the first black cover photographer in the magazine?s history, 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell.
