Rihanna’s been on a whirlwind of a promo tour for her upcoming album, “Rated R.”

She conveniently chose this time to finally open up about the infamous Chris Brown incident in a highly-publicized 20/20 on-air interview, and appeared on-stage for the first time in a while when receiving her “Woman Of The Year” Award from Glamour Magazine.

But here’s what confusing: in those events, she played the classy part, donning elegant gowns and modest turtleneck dresses in neutral, almost pure-like, colors and wore minimal make-up that made her look all the more pristine.

But when advertising for her album, and its released singles, she’s topless, wrapped in barb wires, gold corsets, and a barely-there bodysuit, with dark and drastic make-up that overwhelms her face.

The two personalities don’t coincide, so we ask: Will the real Rihanna please stand up?

Which comes naturally and which is the product of a tireless PR team?

For 2024’s iteration of MadameNoire and HelloBeautiful’s annual series Women to Know, we knew we wanted to celebrate the people who help make the joys of film and television possible. To create art is to create magic. This year, we spotlight Hollywood Executive’s changing the face of cinema.
