Rihanna Channels Medusa On GQ Cover

After going goth on the cover of 032c, Rihanna graces the cover of yet another magazine. To celebrate GQ‘s 25th anniversary, the 25-year-old singer strikes a deadly pose as Medusa for the British magazine’s December issue.

A topless RiRi sports contacts, while snakes sit atop her head and a boa constrictor wraps around her neck.

The shoot was art directed by Damien Hirst, one of the world’s most highly-acclaimed living artists.

In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster, who would turn onlookers to stone if they looked at her hideous face.

“Medusa head on me like I’m ‘luminati!!!! She. x Damien Hirst #GQ #25thAnniversary #COVER,” tweeted RiRi.
