There was also that weed themed wedding where she married her edgy personality with a beautifully delicate lavender gown.

WWD.com reports that famed photographer Steven Klein is responsible for the dramatic and atmospheric imagery for the latest iteration of Dior’s Secret Garden campaign and that a video is due to drop on May 18th. That’s the day after Taylor Swift’s star-studded Bad Blood music video lands.
The Secret Garden campaign was shot in Versailles at night and will show Rihanna dancing in the hall of mirrors to one of her own songs, Only If for a Night, that appears on her upcoming album. As Sidney Toledano, Dior’s CEO, says of the Barbadian star, she’s ?a goddess but accessible.?
