Rihanna Unveils Rated R Album Cover

The album cover for Rihanna's upcoming album Rated R is shown at right. It was shot by fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth. She has worked on other album covers including Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope, Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics, and Britney Spears' Blackout. von Unwerth told PopEater that Rihanna was, "looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album." For me it is very very reminiscent of the classic look of Grace Jones. Let us know what you think.
