Three generations of beauties - Rihanna, 26, Naomi Campbell, 44, and Iman, 59 - have posed together for the first time, and the resulting pictures in September's W Magazine are unsurprisingly beautiful.
The trio came together for a story celebrating fashion brand Balmain's 28-year-old creative director, Olivier Rousteing, who says the three embody his style.
'These women are inspiring to so many different people,' he said. 'Bringing them together represents the concept I’m working toward.'
Go wild in a zebra skirt by Balmain
This is a dream photo shoot.
Naomi Campbell, Iman and Rihanna all looking fierce dressed in Balmain for W magazine. There's almost too much hotness in one image! And while Rihanna is the youngest of the three at only 26, Naomi who is 44 and Iman at 59 are proving beauty has nothing to do with age. We love it.
And we're big fans of this zebra knit skirt on Naomi too. Animal prints are still a major story but there's something just a little more sophisticated about a monochrome stripe like this. If you think you recognise it, that'll be because Kim Kardashian wore it to the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night. They both look incredible in it but we'll give Naomi the edge on this one.
Replicating this style couldn't be easier, which isn't something you can usually say about Balmain. A mini version of Naomi's skirt can be yours at the click of the mouse (right) from Farfetch. This will be perfect for the autumn season working as well with bare legs as it will with tights when the weather gets cooler. Wear with heels and a cute crop for date night look or tuck in a crisp white shirt for the office.
Balmain zebra stripes don't come cheap so if you want to recreate the look on a budget then check out our top picks below. Carven's pencil version is half price at The Outnet or try a bargin buy by Missguided and Noisy May. This is a hot print for next season so get ahead of the game now.
Rihanna is also the cover star of the issue, and stars in a huge tribal-inspired spread in which she's wearing fur, a nose ring and little else.
The issue is now on newsstands.
Rihanna Tweeted about the photos earlier today, saying, '3 Bad Balmain B*****s.' She included four hashtags - blackbeauty, threegenerations, legends and Balmain - and W Magazine's Fashion and Style Director's handle, edward_enninful.
Iman also posted one of the pictures twice on her Instagram account. In the first one, she said 'iconic, legendary, black beauties' in her caption. In the second, which zoomed in on her face, she said 'I love u [sic] more, olivier_rousteing' before thanking W Magazine for 'this epic gathering of fabness.'
