Installed as editor-in-chief, Sara Moonves continues to do great things at W Magazine. At the start of the year, names like Sydney Sweeney, George Clooney, Mia Goth, and Jacob Elordi featured on the annual “Best Performances” edition. Teyana Taylor, Jessie Buckley, and Timothée Chalamet were splashed across the three “Directors” issue covers. Next up on the cover of W Magazine is none other than Rihanna, who graces the Volume #3 2026 edition of the magazine. Across a pair of collectible covers, the global Barbadian superstar is profiled for the occasion by the photographer Tim Walker and styled by Jahleel Weaver. In cover one, Rihanna shares the spotlight with her adorable daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers (both wearing Christian Dior). In the second cover offering, the billionaire businesswoman goes solo, wearing Chanel Haute Couture.

“That cover with the child is adorable,” fawned BalkaniStaCouture upon checking out the cover.
“The first cover is adorable! But that second cover, for me, is so good! Love it,” enthused mteb123.
“Not the biggest fan of babies or children on the covers of fashion magazines, but I do find that first cover rather adorable. Very cute, and I do love the styling,” vogue28 voiced.
Lola701 commented: “I love a chubby baby! So cute! However, the cover with the baby is not good to me. I prefer the Chanel cover.”
“The second cover is great!” echoed Royal-Galliano.
