Early this morning on Instagram, Rihanna finally released the much anticipated shot from famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vogue. This is the second Vogue U.S. cover for the 24-year-old newly short-haired Bajan badgirl–she was also the cover star in April 2011 where she donned a Little Mermaid look. Rihanna has also covered Vogue U.K. November 2011 and Vogue Italia in September 2009. Can we say grindin‘?!

Really. You think?!
