RiRi’s Harlem Style in “Elle” cover (video)

Rihanna‘s sexy ELLE cover, which is the fashion mag’s May issue, is already generating plenty of buzz on 125th Street, since the singer.

RiRi can get tongues wagging yet again, as the short film (based on the cover shoot) is now available for your viewing pleasure.

With that chunky fringe and stained pout, and tones of tude RiRi is the spitting image of a good Harlem East Sider gone bad.

Set in 1956 Havana (post Harlem renaissance), this three-minute, Tom Munro-lensed film offers a voice over in Spanish and plenty of scenes of RiRi in a belly-baring white ensemble.

There’s also footage of RiRi and a bad boy in a car, arguing a bit. The staging has a Bonnie and Clyde look, as we previously noted.
