Rihanna Transforms into Medusa for British GQ

The mythical creature Medusa doesn’t have the most glamorous back story and is considered a hideous creature. That didn’t stop songstress Rihanna from taking a stab at making a venomous snake-headed woman look sexy. Whether or not she accomplished that task is debatable.
Rihanna and artist Damien Hirst worked together to create the interesting cover and spread for the 25th Anniversary issue of British GQ.
According to the magazine:
“Damien Hirst is one of the world’s most highly acclaimed living artists. Rihanna is one of the world’s most successful pop icons. To celebrate GQ’s 25th anniversary, these two creative firebrands embarked on an art project the like of which has never been seen before.”
What do you think? Did she pull it off?
