Rihanna is usually pretty scantily clad when she makes a magazine cover appearance, and this time is no different — except add in the mouth of Jaws to go along with her $1,000 gold bikini and heels.
The 26-year-old snagged the cover, but it pales in comparison to the rest of the photos, especially the one where she’s dangling from the shark’s mouth.
“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,” Rihanna told Harper’s Bazaar.
“But I do not swim with sharks…sharks swim with sharks.”
You know, except for a magazine cover.

And then in another photo for the spread she’s swimming in the tank of a Florida aquarium with three sand tiger sharks and a myriad of tropical fish.

Oh yeah, and the cover’s all right, too.

But it’s doubtful she’ll be swimming with sharks again anytime soon.
“It freaked me out because I was a beach baby, so every time a new ‘Jaws’ came out I would take months off from the beach or just sit on the sand,” the Barbados native told the magazine.
“If I happened to get in the water, my dad would hum the theme music, and I was right back out of it.” (RELATED: Rihanna Has Nothing On Under Her Denim Jacket In This Paul McCartney Video)
