A triple threat! Rihanna, Naomi Campbell and Iman posed together for a recent article in W Magazine about Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing

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.’

In the pictures, all taken by photographer Emma Summerton, the supermodels and the pop star are wearing pieces from Balmain’s Fall 2014 collection. In one shot, all three are wearing large sweaters with differing black and white skirts as Mr Rousteing sits on the floor.

In another, Rihanna and Ms Campbell are wearing provocative tops made of brightly colored rope, while Iman is in a more modest zebra print jacket.
All three wear stacked collared necklaces.

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.” – Daily Mail.
