Rihanna is the new cover star of Vogue China's April issue, and while the interview itself hasn't yet dropped, fans have been presented with several iterations of the star.
The 36-year-old beauty mogul and musician is already sporting several new styles, including a patterned floral suit with a cowboy hat atop her sleek blonde-brown locks, and a yellow oversized ruffle coat covered in post-it style designs.
One of her most notable looks, however, sees her dressed in an opulent, billowing white gown with huge puff sleeves, Rococo-inspired make-up, and braids.
A snippet from the interview shared on Instagram featured Rihanna talking about why she finds herself so fascinated with the history of braiding, and why it was important for her to translate that to her two sons.
Rihanna shares her sons Riot Rose, seven months, and RZA, almost two years old, with longtime boyfriend A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Athelaston Meyers), who she credits for sparking her interest in the subject.
It provided her a new perspective on her hair, she told the publication, sharing: "This is a form of protection of our roots, and a tradition left by our ancestors… [it] makes us [realize] where we've come from."
She emphasized how much it meant for their sons, adding: "This is our lost history. I immediately wanted my children to have their hair braided… it's something in our blood."
Just days earlier, the "Umbrella" singer made waves when she was spotted earlier this week sporting a brand new 'do during an outing in Santa Monica, California.
