This underwater shoot for Harper’s Bazaar is incredible.

On first inspection, we thought the shoot had to have been digitally edited (surely Rihanna didn’t actually swim with sharks for a pH๏τo?), but while the subscriber cover (below) was obviously created digitally, Harper’s Bazaar says the star did indeed frolic with the animals to get the rest of the sH๏τs. In fact, the pop star jumped into a tank with three live sand tiger sharks, none shorter than eight feet long, at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa last December.![rihanna swims with sharks for harper's bazaar](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/hbz-rihanna-subscriber-cover.jpg?w=554)

After releasing the first pH๏τo on Instagram last night, Rihanna followed the announcement with this behind-the-scenes video of her swimming with the sharks.
When the glossy mag pitched Rihanna the idea, the musician thought it was “cool,” and afterwards told Harper’s Bazaar the shoot was one of the most adventurous things she’d ever done: “I just did a pH๏τo shoot in the midst of sharks. It’s going to be pretty hard to beat that.”
If you can draw your eyes away from the monstrous carnivore swimming alongside RiRi, you might be interested to know she’s wearing a white Gottex swimsuit and a Chanel watch in the first pH๏τo, and a metallic Chanel swimsuit and Giuseppe Zanotti sandals on the magazine’s cover.
