Following an eventful 94th Academy Awards last night, pretty much all of Hollywood came out to attend one of the several hot-ticketed soirées after two years of virtual awards shows, i.e., no after-parties. So, obviously Rihanna — practically at the epicenter of the current pop culture zeitgeist — received an invite to the star-studded, yet backlash-sparking, Beyoncé and Jay Z’s post-Oscars bash.
Despite Rihanna not being nominated for an Oscar (it’s only a matter of time) or in attendance this year, the billionaire made her way over to the biggest event in Tinseltown wearing a turtleneck Valentino gown with a black sheer, bandeau-baring top and a sequined skirt. Beneath the voluminous organza sleeves, Rihanna wore bedazzled black opera gloves that peeked through the mesh fabric. The singer accessorized with black-and-white statement earrings and white sneakers.
Her long, dark hair was styled into a unique zig-zag part, reminiscent of the ’90s.The look was up to par with the rest of Rihanna’s maternity-wear repertoire that has been expertly crafted to display her growing bump, which is carrying a soon-to-be iconic, genetically gifted baby.
