Rihanna certainly knows how to make a provocative statement. And a scary one.

Just in time for Halloween, the "Diamonds" singer posed topless and covered in snakes (zoiks!) for the cover of British GQ's special December issue celebrating their 25th anniversary (hitting newsstands Dec. 31). The shoot was styled by reclusive U.K. artist Damien Hirst, whom some think may be the most wealthy living artist in the world.

Of course, becoming Medusa involves snakes … lots of snakes. And it appears that the Barbadian native didn't shy away from working with her slithery co-stars. In fact, the only thing Rihanna, 25, wore for the shoot were high heels and a thong made from what looks like the broken pieces of a disco ball (side note: ouch!). In at least one shot, she dons her own snake fangs (she posted several of the mag's inner pics on her Instagram page).


Medusa, of course, is the Gorgon creature from Greek mythology whose eyes turn anyone that looks at her to stone. The hero Perseus slays her and takes her head as a prize to defeat a sea creature sent by the sea god Poseidon to kill his true love Andromeda.
