My favorite hair color chameleon, Rihanna, graces the cover of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar sporting raven locks.  The chanteuse, known for her daring fashion choices is fully clothed in the editorial shot by Camilla Akrans.  For the newstand cover,  a fresh faced Rihanna dons a white Calvin Klein gown with a gold Neil Lane bracelet.  She sports a shimmering gold Tom Ford dress and boots for the subscription cover, showing off that enviable body of hers.

“I don’t know if there’s something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life!” she says. “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.”

Rihanna tells Bazaar that she has yet to open up again in relationships, after being so badly hurt in the past.

“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.”

She also tells the magazine about her collaboration with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on her single ‘Birthday Cake,”

“The fans could have said, ‘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.”

The issue hits newstands July 17th. Check out some photos from the August issue below:
