Main image: The front cover of Rihanna represents women as being a object of the male gaze. This is reinforced by Rihanna's red hair and red lips which suggests passion, lust and danger which appeals to male. Rihanna is a object of desire, as she wears a revealing crop top which is made from lace showing her femininity and innocence, but also reveals her gun tattoo, which shows Rihanna is the opposite to innocence and almost fierce. Her pose is very provocative which could possibly appeal to women as they will admire Rihanna and aspire to her.
