Photo: Rihanna explains why she doesnt wear under wears

"I don't go out of my way to be a rebel or to have that perception,
but a lot of the decisions I make, a lot of the direction I want to
move, is against the grain, or against society's tight lane, and I'm
aware of that sometimes. It might not be fitting with the norm, but
that's OK for me."

On Her Hair:

"It's not my hair, but the girl who donated it, she's the bomb," says
Rihanna. "Black girls never let anyone see this," she adds, pulling
apart the locks at the back of her head to show me the intricate
workings of the false hair, which is woven into a net attached to her
own. "I have two main hair people I work with. They're always with me.
I'm like, 'I'm bored! I wanna change my hair!' That's the good thing
about a weave. You can do whatever with it."

On Real Vs. Fake Jewels:

"My jewelry's all fake--from Claire's. Or I get it from my mom's
boutique in Barbados. Her shop's called FAB-U-LUS."

On Underwear:

We also discuss underpinnings--does Rihanna ever wear underwear? I ask
her (she isn't wearing anything under her bodysuit, which is totally
backless). "If I'm wearing a top, I don't wear a bra," she says. "If
I'm wearing a bra, I just wear a bra."


On Instagram:

"Instagram is my way of communicating to the world," she says. "When
I'm on tour, I keep fans in the loop. I don't really think about it
too much. Literally, I can be sitting in a car and be bored, so I do a
selfie just because I'm bored. Or if my dog is running around in
circles and I think that's funny, I put it on Instagram." As for who
Rihanna follows on Instagram? "I follow girls from the Middle East. It
gives you ideas."

On Her Talent:

It's not all down to my voice. There's people with way more talent
than I when it comes to singing. Bigger voices. But people want to
know who you are. Fashion is a clear indication, a way to express your
attitude, your mood."

On Being Spiritual But Free Spirited:


"I have a very firm relationship with God and I believe in Jesus, and
I stick to that." Having said that, Rihanna is no nun. Minutes later
she tells me about her latest favorite T-shirt, which is printed with
a semi-nude photograph. "Do you wanna hear something messed up?" she
asks. "I just found out yesterday that was me!!! That is an old naked
picture that they blew up and put. . . ." She dissolves in laughter,
