Listen, Rihanna is about to have 2019 TOO LIT! Find out what luxury goods she has coming down the pipeline, plus how she comforted Cyn Santana after she received backlash for those anti-black women comments inside...
2019 is about to be an EPIC year for Rihanna.
Having conquered music, beauty and lingerie, the Grammy Award winning artist is gearing up for her next act in fashion. And it's going to be luxurious AF.
The Bajan BOSS has teamed up with the world’s largest luxury group as her partner for a new project. According to WWD, over the last few months, Rih and LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton have been conducting secret meetings to launch a whole luxury house under her name. Oh, and it's going to be LEGENDARY as it'll be the first fashion brand industry titan Bernard Arnault has launched from scratch since Christian Lacroix in 1987.
Y'all read that? The first fashion brand since before Rih was even born.
The site reports:
LVMH has already handpicked a clutch of employees from within, including some from Louis Vuitton and Celine, to work on the project in tandem with Rihanna and some of her key associates, sources said.
It is understood her collection with LVMH will span ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories, and could be released in tandem with her ninth album, expected out sometime later this year, one source said.
Sources inside LVMH describe her as a hands-on type who is extensively involved in product development. It is understood LVMH started assembling her fashion team about six months ago in Paris, with the project being overseen by Sidney Toledano, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Fashion Group, a stable of fashion houses that includes Givenchy, Celine, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs.
So yeah, those "Fenty" sunglasses she has been rocking lately will most likely be featured in her upcoming line of luxury goods. Y'all better start lining up your coins because RiRi is about to take ALL of ours. Not to mention, she's gearing up to release her new reggae-inspired album.
On Tuesday night (Jan. 15th)....
The 30-year-old entertainer Rihanna was spotted leaving her dentist's office in NYC after normal business hours. Because, when you're Rihanna you don't go to the dentist at a normal hour. Chick arrived for her 10PM appointment looking like a straight boss.
For the outing, the "Work" singer rocked a suede AMIRI leather jacket over a black shirt and black Citizens of Humanity skinny jeans with Balenciaga ankle boots (the same ones she rocked the night before) and a Dior monogram saddle bag.
On her way inside, she greeted by a fan in a wheelchair. She instantly stopped to say Hello, snap a picture, and sign an autograph. Such a generous queen.
Speaking of being generous, rapper Joe Budden revealed on his podcast that Rihanna reached out to his fiancee Cyn Santana to comfort her following all of the backlash she received when she made comments about http://theybf.com/2019/01/09/cyn-santana-apologizes-for-resurfaced-comme... ">black men "catering" to "Spanish" (which should say Latina) women more than black women. Joey brought up Rih suing her father and then he said:
"I can't say nothing because Rihanna DM'd Cyn so Cyn could feel better," he shared. Well that was nice of her.
