The queen of covers, Rihanna, has been shot for three Vogue Paris covers for the December 2017 issue, her first time fronting the French publication. She is also guest editing the issue, a role held for prior Christmas issues by Catherine Deneuve, Vanessa Paradis, Martin Scorsese, Nelson Mandela or David Hockney, among others.
Each cover was shot by a different fashion and photography team. The yellow cover was styled by Anastasia Barbieri and shot by Juergen Teller, the black and white cover was styled by Mel Ottenberg and shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and the one showing Rihanna in a beret was styled by Aleksandra Woroniecka and shot by by Jean Paul Goude.
