Rihanna shines bright like a diamond on the latest cover of Rolling Stone, and in this Behind the Scenes video, the singer gives a glimpse into a day of her life as she shoots the issue’s cover at Milk Studios in Los Angeles.

“Where my hos at? Hair and makeup?” she asks upon entering the building. But it’s all in good fun, as she jokes on set: “I came to work with my top down.”

Photographer Terry Richardson works Rihanna with a variety of outfits, and the singer sends her praise right back to Richardson. “He’s one of my favorite photographers. He’s fun, he’s sexy. It’s almost a little edgy,” she says, noting it’s her third time working with Richardson.

“To be in Rolling Stone is the shit,” says Rihanna. “If you think about the people that have been [on the cover], you think about legends like Bob Marley, so it’s special to have reached that mark.”
