Rihanna Topless GQ Cover PHOTO: 25th Anniversary Issue Features Medusa Theme For Halloween, Other Topless Covers
Rihanna went topless again for British GQ.
The Pour It Up singer posed with a bevy of small snakes wrapped around her head and another oversized reptile slithering around her neck.
The Bajan beauty also wore snake eye contact lenses for the Medusa-themed shoot. She also sported dark, pointy nails for the issue that will arrive on newsstands on Halloween.
The striking image was photographed by famed artist Damien Hirst in celebration of the magazine's 25th anniversary.

Rihanna's latest shoot adds to her growing list of topless magazine covers. She first appeared without a top for GQ's January 2010 issue and again for the December 2012 cover. She was also photographed this way for British Esquire's July 2012 cover, on the cover of her last album Unapologetic and also went completely nude for Esquire's November 2012 Sexiest Woman Alive issue.
The 25-year-old told media mogul Oprah Winfrey last year that she wasn't always comfortable with showing so much skin. During the Oprah's Next Chapter episode, that aired in August 2012 and was filmed in her native country Barbados, Rihanna said early in her music career she had to "fake it till [she] made it."
"That's what I had to do. I had to pretend that I was as comfortable. I really was not," she told Winfrey. "I just felt like I had to fake it. I had to just go for it."
Now, Rihanna said she has no problem baring her body because the culture of her country is "very sexual."
"I'm 24. I can do that now," she added. "I can experiment and try things."
