Rihanna's new look.

Rihanna is hot on the scene right now with new music and a new look. Her collaboration with Eminem on "Love The Way You Lie" has reached the top of the Billboard charts and can be heard pretty much everywhere you go. And let's face it - the music video featuring Megan Fox was a nice touch, too. Now she's gearing up for her fifth studio album, entitled Loud, which is set to be released in November of this year. Rumor has it she's dabbling in the film industry as well as working on a self-titled book. A woman of transient style, this pop princess has already seen a wide range of looks and fashion in her career. This week Def Jam revealed the cover art for Loud, which features the 22 year old star in a field dressed (okay, not completely) in an elegant red gown with long, wild red curls. No in-your-face nudity, no seductive aggression, no hyper-sexualization. Is this the Rated R Rihanna we were introduced to last year? A softer, more subdued side of the singer appears to be the theme she's going for so far. While the first single on the album , "Only Girl In The World", is already a smashing success, will her latest image join the ranks? Take a look for yourself and tell us what you think! Is Rihanna still risque?
