Rihanna Shines in Cartier on the August 2019 Cover of Harper’s Bazaar China

Can we just admire how gorgeous Rihanna looks on the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar China? This past Monday the magazine released not one but two covers -one where the singer wore a green gown designed by J.P. Gaultier for the English version and a navy pleated Iris Van Herpen gown for the Chinese version.

The covers and editorial spread were the work of fashion photographer Chen Man and editor in chief Simona Sha and fashion chief editor Wei Tian. According to Harper’s Bazaar China‘s own Instagram account, the concept behind the cover and inside spread was to combine a Western-style icon like Rihanna with Eastern aesthetics.

But our love affair with this spread goes beyond the clothes, makeup, and fashion and focuses squarely on the jewels – those amazing million dollar Cartier jewels that Rihanna wears with effortless ease.  Scroll down to see highlights of the extraordinary Cartier pieces worn by the Barbadian beauty below.
