Rihanna on April Vogue cover!!!

So this is the story that finally brought Islandista out of her hibernation (more on that anon) - uber-islandista Rihanna is on the cover of the April issue of Vogue magazine!!!

She's covering Vogue's annual Shape issue which is frequently a lightning rod for controversy and criticism.

We're loving how the shot is channeling cartoon vamp Jessica Rabbit, not to mention Ariel from Little Mermaid -a great pop culture reference for one of the world's biggest pop stars.

Ri-ri had accidentally leaked news of the cover shoot some months ago, excitedly tweeting (and promptly deleting):

"Just wrapped my first American Vogue cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz…Rah! #SEXY"

And we agree - Rahhhhhhh!
