Rihanna just scored her fourth cover of American Vogue for the magazine's April 2016 issue. On the cover she sports a Tom Ford gown, while wading in the water, Birth-of-Venus style. Oh, and she's on the cover of British Vogue, too.

The full cover story is online now, and includes additional photos of Rihanna in two gold dresses: one Givenchy Haute Couture, one Saint Laurent.

The story tackles everything from her Puma show during New York Fashion Week to that time she wore a completely see-through Swarovski dress at the CFDA Awards; the release of ANTI to her current world tour; and quotes about the singer from friend Cara Delevingne and Tom Ford. Rihanna's mom, Monica Fenty, also has some nice things to say, too:

Back on Wall Street, Rihanna's mom, Monica, told a reporter that her daughter has long been a chameleon. "You never knew what she would want," said Braithwaite, herself sporting a short platinum chop. "One time she wanted to have pants, another time she wanted to have a lot of frills. Always changing. Always switching it up. She's always been like that." Braithwaite is sitting with Rihanna's younger brothers, Rajad and Rorrey, and her grandfather, who is wearing a Roc Nation hoodie and hat.
