Wild pictorial was shot by veteran Steven Klein.

Wearing a slew of distinctive and edgy fashions, Rihanna posed for a wild pictorial in the September issue of Italian Vogue. The singer, who sang on and appeared in the video for Jay-Z's latest single "Run This Town," looks tough for the pictorial, and appears topless in one of the shots posted online.

Rihanna was shot by photographer Steven Klein (who has worked with Britney Spears and Madonna in the past), according to New York magazine's blog The Cut, and the photos will appear in a couture supplement that goes with the issue. On the cover, she appears in a Valentino dress carrying a bucket and tossing the water out.

Of course, it's the wild photos that will have everyone talking. The singer poses wearing hats, sequins, Madonna-like cone bras, garters, feathers and even rubber lips. In one daring photograph, she appears topless with strategically placed pasties, skimpy underwear and boots.

Although most of the photographs are black and white, there is one color photo, which features Rihanna wearing a turquoise dress and boots. In the photos, Rihanna sports a few hats, and in some of them fans can see her signature spiky hair.

Most recently Rihanna displayed her keen eye for edgy, guerilla warfare style in Jay-Z's new video for "Run This Town." In it, the singer, standing alongside Jay-Z and Kanye West, sports bullet belts, fur, ninja masks, garters and bedazzled sunglasses.
