Edward Enninful and Rihanna have proved to be a match made in heaven. After all, throughout the years, the duo has served up some truly stunning and memorable fashion imagery. From Enninful’s years at W Magazine to heralding Rihanna as British Vogue‘s first black woman to grace the September issue. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to see Enninful secure Rihanna for the cover of 72 Magazine for Summer 2026. The global superstar is profiled for the occasion by the photographer Szilveszter Mako, with Enninful taking charge of styling and the cover shoot concept. Across two highly collectible cover offerings, Rihanna is as pretty as a picture in the portrait cover imagery, working looks from Jonathan Anderson’s Christian Dior and Alessandro Michele’s Valentino.
