Rihanna Poses Topless for Lui Magazine: Always one to make a fashion statement, it seems that recently Rihanna prefers to be naked for her photo shoots. The pop diva posed topless—bearing little more than small bottoms, tattoos, and body jewelry (including a nipple ring)—for this month’s issue of Lui, a French men’s magazine. The spread, photographed in L.A. earlier this month by Mario Sorrenti, follows the current issue of Vogue Brazil in which Bad Gal RiRi models more jewelry than clothing. [Lui]
