Rihanna has never met a red carpet she couldn’t turn into her own personal runway, and a Paris arena is no exception. She showed up to Céline Dion’s residency in a navy Tom Ford suit, double-breasted blazer buttoned up with a black lace bra underneath and no shirt in sight. Saint Laurent sunglasses, Amina Muaddi pumps and a silver sequin-fringed Lady Dior bag finished the look. It was bold, it was intentional, and it worked.
The night belonged to Céline too, though. Her 26-date run at Plenitude Arena kicked off September 12, marking her first concerts in six years following her 2022 stiff person syndrome diagnosis. During“My Heart Will Go On,”she sang through tears, telling the crowd she’d promised not to cry, then adding that she is everything she is because they loved her. The residency has already pulled in Michelle Obama, Shania Twain and Kim Kardashian, and it runs until May 29, 2027. Rihanna kept the night going at Paris hotspot César after the show.
So we have to ask: is the no-shirt suit something you’d actually try, or is it strictly a Rihanna thing? Sound off and let us know.
