On Monday, January 22, 2024, the prestigious Paris Fashion Week kicked off. This exceptional event, aside from attracting fashion enthusiasts eager to get a sneak peek of upcoming spring trends, has already generated quite a buzz. Notably, it’s graced by the presence of top-tier celebrities occupying the coveted front-row seats.
While several celebrities drew attention, none did so quite like Rihanna, who quickly became a trending topic due to her daring and, as mentioned by ELLE magazine, ‘bold’ ensemble.
The singer opted for a striking all-black ensemble by Dior. Her attire consisted of a padded coat layered over a midi dress, paired with matching gloves and a handbag. The ensemble was set off by her white pointed heels and exquisite diamond jewelry, creating a captivating contrast against the black outfit. Vogue likened her look to Christian Dior’s original 1945 ‘New Look’ collection, but with a modern and more ‘cushioned’ twist.

In addition to her outfit, Rihanna sported a baseball cap and a Latin-inspired makeup, featuring its signature slim eyebrows, well-defined lips, shimmery eyeshadow, and a makeup palette that accentuated her cheeks and added a touch of bronzer.

Anya Taylor-Joy, the talented Argentine actress set to star in the eagerly anticipated Mad Max prequel, Furiosa, graced the event in a romantic red floral lace dress. She gave it a contemporary edge by pairing it with combat boots instead of the usual high heels, creating an ensemble that delicately balanced strength and elegance, perfectly reflecting her own personality.
