Rihanna has been slammed for flaunting her racy nun magazine cover, with many branding the images "dehumanizing".
The superstar's provocative choice of clothing on the cover of Interview Magazine has met a fierce reaction from the Christian community. The mum-of-two sets pulses racing in the steamy shoot. Rihanna, 36, shows off her curves wearing a black and white habit, the traditional garment worn by nuns. She vamped up her look with a slick of bright red lipstick and wore her shirt unbuttoned to flaunt her curves.
Critics flocked to her comment section to denounce the look. Many fans said she was disrespecting Catholics and Christians as a whole. One said: "It's religious mockery. Another said: "So tired of all this unholy imagery." A third said: "I love Rihanna but I never understand the obsession with sexualizing religious representations."

Several fans slammed the fashion world as a whole and questioned why she 'chose to mock religion'. Meanwhile Rihanna has had a busy few weeks. She joined Mark Zuckerberg and Ivanka Trump who were among the A-list celebrities who came together to celebrate a pre-wedding party hosted by the richest man in Asia.
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani put together an extravagant celebration for his son Anant Ambani's wedding to Radhika Merchant. It's believed to have cost a whopping $150million (£118million) and featured plenty of entertainment including a dazzling fireworks display, elephants and a two-hour performance from Rihanna.
The party was held at Ambani's parents' home in Jamnagar, India, this weekend. Videos from the lavish event show Meta CEO Mark and his wife Priscilla Chan mingling with guests such as Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton before admiring the groom-to-be's outfit.

Priscilla joked she "might want that", while her husband commented: "You know I never really wanted a watch but after seeing that I was like, 'watches are cool'."
To start the celebrations, started, guests were treated to a two-hour performance by Rihanna. She was reportedly paid $6.3million (£4.9million) for the show. However, it seems the singer might not have been worth all that money as fans quickly branded her show "lacklustre" and "boring".
