Rihanna Covers Harper's Bazaar US March 2025 Legacy Issue, by Luis Alberto Rodriguez AOC Fashion

She’s a “titan of music” and a “self-made mogul” who “ just might have manifested her dream life”, writes Lynette Nylander for Harper’s Bazaar US March 2025 ‘Legacy’ issue.

The People’s Pop Star is now the face of Dior’s J’adore — and you know we are speaking of Rihanna. She wears Dior exclusively in the fashion shoot styled by Carlos Nazario in images by Luis Alberto Rodriguez [IG].

What’s Love Got to Do With It?

The interview happened before the lifting of a major cloud hanging over the couple’s life and family — husband A$AP Rocky’s court case in Los Angeles. Rihanna was, of course, in the courtroom, so Anne isn’t totally ‘out of line’ in sharing the beautiful story of what happened.

Most AOC readers know about the not-guilty verdict that sent the couple into each other’s arms on February 18, 2025.

In a moment of extraordinary tension before the verdict was read, A$AP Rocky [Rakim Mayers] turned to his [white] lawyer Joe Tacopina, whose state of being was on shaky ground in that moment. Confidence in his own performance melted away, for fear his client’s life was about to go south and it would be his fault.

Like he could have done better, worked harder, found another fissure in the prosecution’s case against his client. Rocky has confirmed the story and made it clear that baby #3, whenever s[he] arrives on mother Earth, will be named after Joe Tacopina.
