Rihanna has expanded the artistic boundaries of fashion photography through the Summer 2026 issue of EE72, the magazine founded by Edward Enninful. In the 18-image editorial titled La Reine (The Queen), she appears not merely as a model but as a symbolic figure representing power and grace. The shoot offers a compelling answer to the question: how far can fashion become art?
Photographed by Szilveszter Makó, the project was created using hand-painted backdrops and painterly techniques, minimizing digital retouching. This approach departs from the heavy post-production common in contemporary fashion editorials, instead reinterpreting the aesthetics of classical painting. Rihanna wears haute couture looks from Dior, Chanel, Schiaparelli, and Givenchy, with each frame achieving the polish of a fine art piece.
The editorial not only reaffirms Rihanna's status as a fashion icon but also demonstrates how Edward Enninful's editorial vision is being realized through EE72. This project, which seamlessly blends fashion, art, and feminine power, is poised to become one of the most celebrated editorials of the 2026 fashion season.
