Symbolic Code: Throughout the cover of
this magazine the running theme is the colour red, this is as red has
connotations of love and passion and is normally seen to be a very sexual
colour. By using this colour on her lips especially emphasise this. As lips are

Costume code: in the front cover of this
magazine Rihanna is seen to be wearing a crop top which is showing a lot of
skin, this conforms to the male gaze theory as she is being presented for the
pleasure of the heterosexual male. Despite this her costume code subverts the
feminine mystique theory. This is because she is not being presented as being a
‘housewife’ or ‘motherly’ but more as a young woman trying to express her self
– this is as a housewife is stereotypically modest. However she is dressed in a
way that means that the audience would not perceive her that way.

Lighting: the use of the lighting makes
her seem almost angelic; this would conform to the feminine mystique theory as

like an angel.  Also the lighting is
directly on her, this makes her seem important which subverts the general
stereotypes of a woman who is normally seen to be weak and almost in the shadow
of a man
