Rihanna in Essence Magazine

Photo: Rihanna Daily/Essence

Here are some pics from Rihanna's photo spread in the September 2008 issue of Essence Magazine. Black is definitely her color... and I like the yellow as well (told you plaid is in this season). I was watching E! news today, and they were behind the scenes with her on this shoot, as well as who?? Of course, her "friend" Chris Brown.
