Global superstar Rihanna lit up Los Angeles with her dazzling entrance at the launch of her new venture, Fenty Hair. The event, held last night, showcased not only the singer’s entrepreneurial spirit but also her deep appreciation for Indian craftsmanship and fashion.
Fresh off her captivating performance at the pre-wedding festivities of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani in India this past March, Rihanna continued to pay homage to Indian artistry. Her stunning ensemble at the Fenty Hair launch was adorned with exquisite jewelry from two of India’s most celebrated designers, Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
Rihanna’s look was anchored by a magnificent ruby choker from the Manish Malhotra High Jewellery collection. This piece, crafted in 18k gold and encrusted with diamonds and custom-cut rubies, highlighted the intricate craftsmanship that Malhotra is renowned for. This wasn’t the first time Malhotra’s creations have graced a global icon; earlier, Jennifer Lopez had donned the ILENA necklace set, featuring a remarkable 165-carat emerald and trillions of diamonds.
Complementing the ruby choker, Rihanna wore a stunning necklace by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. This piece featured a sophisticated array of three drop rubellites, tourmalines, and brilliant-cut diamonds. Together, these jewelry pieces created a look that was both opulent and emblematic of India’s rich fashion heritage.
Styled by Jahleel Weaver, Rihanna paired her high-end jewelry with a fashion-forward outfit consisting of an oversized zipper jacket, skirt, and camisole, all in a deep ruby shade to match her jewels. Her signature caramel curls, styled with Fenty Hair products, added to her radiant appearance, blending modern chic with timeless elegance.
Manish Malhotra Jewellery even took to social media to praise the look, commenting on Fenty Hair’s post: “@badgirlriri looking stunning in our renaissance of rubies.”
Both Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra have carved out significant spaces in the international fashion scene, and seeing their pieces on celebrities like Rihanna is a testament to their global appeal.
