Rihanna attended the Fashion Awards in London on Monday to receive the Urban Luxe Award for fashion from her colleague Janet Jackson. The 53-year-old sister of the King of Pop Michael Jackson presented Rihanna with the award, which recognizes a contemporary clothing brand. This also highlights the concept of casual fashion. “You are loved for your style, you are respected as an artist, an entrepreneur and as the first black woman to create a brand with LVMH,” Janet Jackson told Rihanna.

“Congratulations #FashionAwards,” wrote Janet Jackson. Rihanna wore a pastel green ensemble from her own label Fenty to the event. Her look consisted of a mini dress with a matching sheer coat, heels and diamond jewelry. The pop singer and fashion designer teamed up with LVMH, the world's largest luxury group, this year to revitalize Fenty as a luxury fashion house. Rihanna is the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH.
“A big day for culture,” she said on Instagram at the time. “Thank you, Mr. Arnault, for trusting this little girl from the left side of an island and for the opportunity to grow with me at LVMH. This is proof that nothing is impossible. ” Rihanna also showcases her life as a singer, performer, designer and entrepreneur in the new Phaidon book, released in October. The “visual autobiography” shows over 1000 photos from her life.
Moments at the awards ceremony
Rihanna shows herselfbut not often on red carpets. But last night in London she attended the British Fashion Awards. The Fenty designer and singer stepped out wearing a mint green satin mini dress with matching gloves and a necklace for the event at the Royal Albert Hall. So if Cinderella was a fashion influencer in 2019, this is how she would dress.
Every year the British Fashion Awards celebrate the best of British fashion and celebrate the innovation of British designers and design houses. Rihanna, who has made a name for herself in the fashion industry for her Fenty line and her Savage x Fenty lingerie line, spoke to ELLE.com at New York Fashion Week in September about why all women love her acclaimed Savage x feel represented and included. Fifty fashion shows were important.
Rihanna said she put some thought into the models and performers she chose. With the cast, which also included Normani and Halsey, she explained: “I wanted to highlight women who are powerful. To me, power, however you wield it, is very sexy. And Normani is an incredible dancer, and dance is athleticism. Dance is powerful. It would be a shame to miss the opportunity to have this kind of beauty and power on the show.”
