What Rihanna wore
The superstar opted for a rich, chocolate-brown silk maxi dress that features a high, draped neckline and a fluid, floor-length silhouette that perfectly captures her signature "cool-girl" glamour. Breaking the monochrome palette with her expert eye for contrast, she accessorized with an oversized dark forest green Lady Dior clutch in the house's iconic quilted cannage pattern.
The ensemble was elevated by high-octane details, including a chunky, crystal-embellished choker that mirrors the sparkle in her dramatic, drop earrings. Rihanna finished the look with a bold red manicure and her signature henna-inspired hand tattoos.
Ambanis stun in stylish outfits
When it comes to the Ambani family, making a fashion statement is second nature. For the occasion, ‘choti bahu’ Radhika opted for a look from Miu Miu, featuring a white embellished shirt with crystal dandelion details, paired with a matching beige embroidered skirt. Statement earrings, neutral heels, and soft waves completed her elegant ensemble.
Isha Ambani, showcasing her fashion flair, chose a striking red dress from Chanel. The vibrant crimson outfit featured a sheer overlay with delicate beadwork and a floor-sweeping pleated skirt, leaning into a bold monochromatic aesthetic.
Meanwhile, Shloka Mehta exuded understated elegance in a floral lace midi skirt paired with a classic white puff-sleeve blouse. She finished the look with pointed-toe white flats and emerald drop earrings, adding a refined, practical touch to her feminine style.
Rihanna is in Mumbai for an event linked to her beauty brand Fenty Beauty, marking her return to India two years after her widely discussed performance in Jamnagar in 2024, which drew global attention.
