marieclaireririuk2.jpg Rihanna graces the cover of Marie Claire UK's December 2010 issue, and the starlet looks smokin' hot in a Mark Fast dress and Solange Azagury-Partridge earrings.

With her new album Loud dropping next month (not to mention the upcoming movie Battleship, which hits theaters in 2012), Rihanna has a lot on her plate, and we're guessing this isn't the only glossy cover she's got this holiday season.

The mag hits newsstands on Thursday, and we can't wait to see the interior spread! But is there any chance they'll put a different wig on her? All we want for Christmas is for RiRi to switch her hair color!
