Please Take a Second to Acknowledge Rihanna’s Unbelievable Red Ball Gown
Last week, Rihanna graced the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in a show-stopping pink Giambattista Valli dress that instantly got the internet talking. And now she’s continuing her streak by wearing another incredible dress by the same designer, this time for the London premiere of the sci-fi movie.
Rihanna — who plays Bubble, a shape-shifting alien known as a “glampod” in the new film — took the off-the-shoulder trend to the extreme in the red gown that featured a low-cut neckline and a high empire waist. From under her bust to the train trailing behind her, the bright dress seemed to expand forever, giving us major Little Red Riding Hood vibes. Somehow, the voluminous shape managed to outdo another Rihanna outfit, when she wore what looked like a white bed sheet in Cannes. (It was a Dior gown, naturally.)
The singer doubled down on the bold color of the gown in every way, settling on a completely monochromatic look. Her earrings, eyeshadow, lipstick, clutch, jewelry, and heels were all the same hue — a trend that Bad Gal Riri has been experimenting with recently.
Clearly, Rihanna is the queen of fashion, despite looking like a princess these days. Take a look at some of her slay-worthy moments from the premiere, below.
