Anna Wintour Bans Rihanna from Vogue Cover
Thanks to the recent leak of nude photos of Rihanna (see the alleged photos by clicking here), Rihanna won’t be gracing the cover of Vogue any time soon.
Anna Wintour is a notoriously picky with her cover stars. Stars and models of the African American decent rarely get a shot at the feature and must pack a huge pull or A-list following. A flaw in it’s own as Oprah and Michelle Obama have squeaked by on the cover along with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Wintour first made Oprah loose 20 pounds before the cover shots were taken. So when Rihanna was rumored to be the next starlet to land the mag’s feature it was due to be a rare buy.
However, after RiRi’s photos leaked to the internet, any chances of her face appearing on Vogue were gone.
Via Celebitchy per Star Magazine:
“It could have been Rihanna’s shining moment: the cover of Vogue! But when the nude pictures hit cyberspace, her once-in-a-lifetime chance was gone in a flash. Rihanna and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour had been talking for weeks about doing the cover and an inside spread, says a close friend of the singer, who adds that the two even chatted about it at the Met Costume Institute Gala on May 4. “Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic!” But since the photos came out, says the friend, “Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset!”
Aww…too bad. I think it would be good for Anna to pull the broom stick out of her hindquarters.
