The Barbadian artist and entrepreneur Rihanna graced an event in Mumbai to unveil her beauty brand, Fenty Beauty. Footage from the night swiftly spread across the internet, including a clip showcasing her second outfit for the after-party. In a trending video, she was seen expressing ‘shukriya’ to adoring fans.

During her engagement with fans, Rihanna sported an eye-catching monochromatic chartreuse (vibrant olive-green) look. The ensemble featured a flowing mock-neck, long-sleeved top paired with a coordinating flared, ankle-length leather skirt from the Mugler Fall 2026 collection.
For the after-party, Rihanna donned an elegant black fit-and-flare jersey dress by Alaa. The creation boasted a high turtleneck, full sleeves, and V-shaped crocodile leather cut-outs, giving a contemporary edge to her appearance.
She accessorized the dress with an array of diamond rings, bold ear cuffs, and a diamond hathphool designed by Manish Malhotra. This traditional hand ornament introduced an Indian flair to her overall styling.
Another trending clip captured Rihanna beaming as she posed with a photographer on the red carpet. Her Mumbai visit, encompassing the pop-up launch, after-party, and fan interactions, continued to garner online interest.
Previously, Rihanna had discussed the introduction of Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in India. A press release stated, “Bringing Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to over 50 stores across 16 cities in India is incredibly meaningful to me. It has always been about ensuring everyone, everywhere feels acknowledged, honored, and confident in their skin. Now, we are facilitating easier access to our products, and we’re just getting started.”
