As a fellow tanned skin woman with recently bleached blonde hair, I can appreciate Rihanna's look. In this shoot especially, she came off as sultry and sexy, but in a very subtle way. According to Elle, the shoot was inspired by "a windswept town evocative of documentary photographer Robert Polidori’s shots of deserted, patina-rich Havana interiors." I'm pretty sure the main thing everyone is focusing on in these photos is how effortlessly sexy Rihanna can look in anything from a black lace bra to being [almost] fully covered in a yellow lambskin skirt and jacket.
The thing I found most intriguing about this shoot is their use of colors. In the editorial pictures, Rihanna was mainly dressed in neutral colors: white and black. And her "white" outfits consisted of a more innocent-girl-next-door Rihanna, while the "black" outfits illustrated the vixen side of her. In any case, she looks gorgeous in this photoshoot, so props to Robert Polidori for reminding us all just how beautiful Rihanna really is (not that any of us needed to be reminded, I mean it's Rihanna for goodness' sake).

To be quite honest, I think I prefer the little miss vixen outfits. I think it just fits Rihanna's personality more.. ahem her song S&M. In any case, I love her blonde hair and she looks fantastic on the cover of Elle. It's always nice to see a change in Elle's covergirls rather than their usual selections.
