Rihanna walks on water for the April 2016 cover of Vogue Magazine. The pop star glitters in a Tom Ford dress embellished with sequins and featuring sheer paneling. Photographed by Mert & Marcus and styled by Tonne Goodman, Rihanna dazzles for the accompanying spread featuring the designs of Saint Laurent, Givenchy and more.

In her interview, the Barbadian beauty talks about her alleged rivalry with Beyonce that has been rumored for several years. “Here’s the deal,” Rihanna tells Vogue. “[People] just get so excited to feast on something that’s negative. Something that’s competitive. Something that’s, you know, a rivalry. And that’s just not what I wake up to. Because I can only do me. And nobody else is going to be able to do that.”
