As we approach the lucrative holiday shopping season, get ready for a flood of celebs promoting their fashionable wares ranging from branded perfumes and makeup collections to even complete clothing lines. Rihanna‘s has pimped her Fenty line for a few years now, but her latest idea is to attack the global cosmetic market, which is reportedly worth around $460 billion! God damn! Even if she gets a .00001% of that market, that’s still a consdierable chunk of change! For more info, go here.
The wildly successful singer is really turning her focus to conquering the film industry so it’ll be interesting to see how Rihanna‘s new film “Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets” performs at the box-office. RiRi was looking awfully stylish wearing a tight fitting red dress at yesterday’s big premiere held at London’s Leicester Square. The photo of Ri wearing the silver slip dress was snapped later in the evening as she attended a dinner event at Chiltern Firehouse.
Here’s a short interview featuring Rihanna discussing her experiences during filming:

The fact that the film’s marketing team allowed Tara Reid to walk the red carpet is very telling of the fact that they’re trying to cast the widest net possible in their promotional efforts. “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” is a new French science fiction action film (I think that’s the first time I’ve written those words in that order) written and directed by Luc Besson and based on the French science fiction comics series “Valérian and Laureline”, written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières.
The film extensive cast includes Dane DeHaan as Valerian and Cara Delevingne as Laureline, with Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, Herbie Hancock, Kris Wu and Rutger Hauer in supporting roles. Here’s more about the film:
A dark force threatens Alpha, a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets. Special operatives Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe. Source
For those of you keeping up with the NBA Finals, you’ll know that RiRi has attracted her own share of attention on the sidelines. The chart-topping singer is a huge fan of Lebron James and she isn’t afraid to show it when surrounded by thousands of Warriors fans. The 29-year-old has been embroiled in a very public tussle with Warriors star Kevin Durant. After exchanging a few words with KD in Game 1, RiRi was apparently trying to stare down the Warriors forward. It’ll be interesting to see what happens between Rihanna and KD when the NBA Finals move to Cleveland tomorrow evening.
As for these latest photos, they were snapped as Rihanna appeared on the set of her new music video wearing a pair of skintight green print high-heeled pants. The film set, which was located in the heart of Little Haiti in Miami, also featured DJ Khaled.
UPDATE: For those of you looking to buy what Rihanna’s wearing, get ready to open up your wallets!
We can’t fault Rihanna for wearing whatever she’s wearing because we’re going to assume she was told she had to wear this outfit for promotional purposes at the pop-up store. For those of you who don’t know, Fenty, the name of Rihanna’s fashion line, is the singer’s actual last name.
You can flip through the complete line on Puma’s website. Let’s just say, the items aren’t exactly suitable for everyone out there. Here’s RiRi discussing her latest collection, which debuted earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week:
This will surprise a few of you guys, but Rihanna doesn’t blow away all her money on expensive homes, handbags, shoes and clothes, but she actually donates a lot of it to charitable causes. The 29-year-old singer was seen arriving at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre in Cambridge to receive the coveted 2017 Humanitarian Award for her contributions in Barbados. Believe it not, but RiRi has charitably built a state-of-the-art center for oncology and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados.
We expect better from RiRi, but it seems like she was in the mood for enjoying a nice show as opposed to winning a lot of awards and doing performances. The cameras were on her pretty much the entire night, so you can tell CBS squeezed all the camera-time they could out of her, even though it was a little awkward at times. Also, RiRi was spotted swigging from a bedazzled flask the entire night, so I’m sure that was a nice thing for her young fans to see…
I’m sure all you hardcore RiRi fans are jumping up for joy knowing that the 28-year-old singer appears to be a fairly substantial role in the upcoming ‘Oceans 8’ film, which isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until summer, 2018! These latest photso were snapped yesterday as Rihanna was seen sitting on a park bench alongside Cate Blanchett in Central Park.
Here’s more about the upcoming film:
However, a new Ocean’s Eleven spin-off with an all-female cast led by Sandra Bullock as the sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean character was in development as of October 2015. It was conceived by producer Jerry Weintraub, Soderbergh and Clooney. Olivia Milch is to write the screenplay, and Gary Ross is to direct. Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling and Elizabeth Banks were later announced to star in the film.
During pre-production, the film’s working title was Ocean’s Ocho. In August 2016, Bullock, Blanchett, Bonham Carter and Kaling were confirmed to star, with Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Awkwafina and Sarah Paulson closing deals to fill the cast. (Source)
Here’s some pap footage of RiRi reacting to a photog’s comment about her new role:
Despite having to wear atrocious outfits on the film set, it appears RiRi will have a small role in the upcoming ‘Ocean’s Eight’ film. The singer was spotted on the NYC set along with the film’s long list of stars including Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Elizabeth Banks and Sarah Paulson. Others major cast members are Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway and Dakota Fanning.
This movie will be a big one only because it’s already in production and it isn’t even scheduled for a release until June 8, 2018.
Or what the hell do you call thing? I guess when you live inside a style bubble where everyone compliments you 24/7, anything goes. These were snapped earlier today as Rihanna was seen stepping out of her NYC sweet-spot. She’s currently on doing the final few shows from her Anti World Tour. Her next show is actually in Central Park on September 24.
