Killer fashion! Rihanna sits in the mouth of a massive great white shark as she pays tribute to Jaws in Harper's Bazaar bikini cover shoot
She calls herself 'Badgalriri' on Instagram.
And Rihanna lived up to her moniker in a new photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar magazine where she bravely swam with some rather menacing looking sharks.
The 26-year-old is seen modeling a variety of swimwear for the March issue, with one image in particular showing her reclining in the mouth of a fake great white shark.

Brave girl: In a new photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar magazine Rihanna sits in the jaws of a fake great white shark
The photo pays tribute Steven Spielberg's 1975 film Jaws, which sees a similar animatronic great white stick its head out of the water.
In another stunning shot by photographer Norman Jean Roy, Rihanna wears a white bathing suit as she swims upward towards the water's surface with a ferocious looking shark just feet away.
In a behind the scenes video, the Rude Boy hit maker shows off her underwater skills in an orange one-piece as she dives down the side of some rocks as another jagged-toothed fish lurks nearby.

Back on dry land Riri wears a glamourous gold jumpsuit with bikini style top as she whips her brunette locks while striking a pose.
In an accompanying interview Rihanna discussed another kind of predator: 'I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks … sharks swim with sharks.'
She also named some of her favourite designers: 'My favorite red-carpet looks are usually the ones I get to help design: the Adam Selman Swarovski crystal dress at the CFDAs, the Stella McCartney all-white dress at the Met Gala, and the Adam Selman white jersey dress from the VMAs. But the red Azzedine Alaïa at the Grammys is also one of my favorites.'
