Rihanna of Arabia stuns in Magazine Cover Harpers Bazaar high fashion shoot #TheElitePartyInJuly #IRepEntertain9jarBlog via @myentertain9jar

Drake's ex covers up in Middle Eastern-inspired fashion pieces

 

RIHANNA has finally put some clothes on. Yes, really. 

The Barbadian beauty is the cover-star of the July/August issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia, and it's safe to say she looks nothing short of exquisite.

Given that the 26-year-old S&M singer is famous for regularly flashing her assets, the tag line – 'Rihanna of Arabia: The new modesty, cover up in style' – seems rather ironic.  

The shoot is a far cry from her recent style shocker at the Fashion Designers of America Awards earlier this month, where she wore a barely-there Adam Selman Swarovski encrusted gown that exposed both her rear and bare breasts. 

In the shoot for Harper's Bazaar, which was unveiled on the magazine's Facebook page, Drake's ex wears a series of Middle Eastern-inspired clothes with an avant-garde edge.

Posing in a selection of couture turbans, veils and headpieces, including a huge netted bow neckpiece for the cover image, RiRi is the definition of exotic.

And while they cover up her skin, the array of high fashion dresses and glittering catsuits do little to disguise the sexy star's famous curves.  

The We Found Love singer's winged-out eyeliner, matte red lips, black wig and intricate hand tattoo complete her arabian transformation and offset the styling to perfection.

We can't wait to have a closer look when it hits new stands – follow Rihanna on Twitter here for updates.
