Rihanna has proven her fashion icon status once again by landing the March 2015 cover of Harper’s Bazaar.

The Barbadian beauty announced the news via her Instagram account on Wednesday night and shared her stunning cover shot by Norman Jean Roy along with a few more photos from the shoot.

While RiRi simply glows for the feature in a custom-made, bronze-hued jumpsuit by Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, it’s her underwater photo that has our jaws on the floor. The “FourFiveSeconds” singer didn’t just roll around the shore for the shoot, she literally went swimming with the sharks. Real, live, actual sharks.

And for any skeptics out there, Harper’s Bazaar even shared behind-the-scene footage (see below) of Rihanna making her deep sea dive amongst the aquatic wild life. Amazing. Rihanna has definitely upped the ante for any stars that think simply striking a few poses in a studio while donning designer clothes makes you badass. Take notes.

This marks RiRi’s first cover for the American edition of the glossy — last summer graced Harper’s Bazaar Arabia’s July/August 2014 issue.

What do you think of Rihanna’s cover and oceanic shoot?
