If Rihanna invites you to an event, it’s only right you pull out your best look. The honorary queen of red carpets hosted her 5th Annual Clara Lionel Diamond Ball in New York City yesterday evening, and all your favorite celebrities were there. From Normani sporting an Avante-garde creme gown to Megan Thee Stallion (who also performed) gracefully hitting the carpet rocking a shimmery black slip, these fashion moments put a great end to fashion week.
“I’m a black woman, who came from a black woman, and I’m going to give birth to a black woman,” Rihanna told ESSENCE. “We are impeccable. We’re special and the world is just going to have to deal with that.” As the step and repeat concluded, Rihanna hit the carpet in an all-black structured gown, a pinned-up hair-do, and we’re guessing Fenty Beauty on the lips.
“I’m a black woman, who came from a black woman, and one day I’m going to give birth to a black woman.” – Rihanna
