Crowning glory: Rihanna's top 3 iconic fashion cover looks

Forever on style, Rihanna doesn't miss any trend. If anything, she sets them. In an interview with Afua Hirsch where she speaks about her love life, the mother she'd like to be and of course, continuously advocating for black human rights, Rih is wearing hairstyles that represent the history of African hair.

On the cover, she's wearing a durag, a headwrap that was worn originally by poor African American women labourers and slaves in the 19th century. The Vogue cover is the durag's first gloss appearance. 

Inside the magazine, Rihanna is wearing a black double breasted coat and a matching turtleneck underneath, all by Raf Simons. She completes the look with the Betsimisaraka hair, styled  Yusef Williams of  Yusef Hair Nyc.

The Betsimisaraka hairstyle originates from Madagascar,  it comes from a popular group, the Betsimisaraka and was worn by women in late 19th early 20th century (hence the name).
