Rihanna’s Crystal-Covered Sheer Gown

New York Fashion Week just kicked off, and Rihanna is already stealing the show.

On Friday, she made a grand entrance in not one but two sheer Alaïa outfits. She came to celebrate the French fashion house’s return to New York City at their spring-summer 2025 show at the Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side. Arriving fashionably late, Rihanna wore a custom crystal mesh dress that hung off her shoulders and shimmered with dangling pearls.

The gown wrapped around her like a snug robe, showing off a cream-colored thong corset underneath. She added even more sparkle with a chunky diamond bracelet, pearl-and-diamond earrings, and lace-up heels decorated with pearls.

Her chocolate-colored hair flowed in loose waves over her shoulder, and she topped it all off with glossy plum lipstick and sparkly silver eyeshadow.

Earlier that evening, Rihanna had already turned heads at The Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards by presenting the Magazine of the Year Award to her stylist Jahleel Weaver and Katie Grand. For this special moment, she rocked another eye-catching Alaïa outfit—a blush corset dress with sheer parts, paired with a pink ruffled coat and nude strappy sandals. 💎

We love seeing how these celebrities can pull off such daring looks!
