@tinemachine1 and I dropped into @doverstreetmarketnewyork and were treated to a top-to-bottom personal tour by @its_leoswayyy . We also happened to catch a talk with @stephenjonesmillinery moderated by @maxinesleep 🎩🧢👒 and met @randyknoxandrus @missclairesullivan @thetwinningteam One the big things that I miss about living in New York City is the spontaneity of meeting wonderfully creative and warm people and also happening upon events like this. #art #sketch #nyc #metgala #fashion

Rihanna graces this month’s cover of W Magazine, and instead of a traditional interview, the icon’s closest friends and collaborators shared personal stories about her in the new cover story. Mary J. Blige spoke about how Rihanna changed the music industry, saying she “completely raised the bar” and “elevated the game”: “She is a fashion icon. She was dropping smashes back-to-back and bringing more awareness to dancehall mixed with R&B.” Mariah Carey reflected on a recent viral moment when Rihanna attended one of her shows and asked her to sign her chest. She also revealed when they first met: “I was introduced to Rihanna when she was about 17 years old, by our mutual friend Jay-Z. She was just getting started, and I had a feeling she was going to be a major star. She’s a real girl’s girl.” One of Rihanna’s most successful collaborators, SZA, also shared words with the publication and recalled a time Rihanna stood up for her at the Brit Awards: “I had no experience and definitely didn’t know where the hell I was or what this meant. It was suggested that I basically wear a curtain and disappear, and when I told her, she immediately said, ‘Hell, no! We need you to look hot!’ She made sure I got to pick whatever I wanted and looked cute.” 📝: Maxine Wally (@maxinesleep ) 📸: Tim Walker (@timwalker )
