Rihanna Gets Real for 'Elle' Magazine Cover Spread

Rihanna looks effortlessly beautiful for her “real” look on the cover of Elle magazine‘s December 2014 issue, on newsstands nationwide on November 18.

Here is what the 26-year-old singer had to share with the mag:

On the sexiest thing a man has ever said to her: “Any man that tells me what to do is sexy!”

On the best hangover cure: “Ice, Chinese food! And an upside-down trash can and towels, preferably next to the toilet.”

On if she ever sounds like her mother: “My mother doesn’t say much, but that one “ummmm” is a full paragraph of things I was grateful she didn’t say. I catch myself doing that a lot recently.”

On her cooking: “I’m a fun cook! My specialty is seafood, but I also make the sickest mac ‘n’ cheese you will ever taste.”
