RiRi kicked off Fashion Week with a full takeover of NYC’s hottest hotel – The New York EDITION Hotel. Hosting a VIP dinner with her closest crew (full details attached and below), followed by an outdoor block party shutting down an entire city block, what really stole the show was her BLUE lips, and bobbie pins. Her lips were an electric shade of metallic blue, and her hair was pulled into a loose bun adorned with gold and silver bobbie pins – Bad Gal chic, with a punch.
On September 10th 2015, RIHANNA hosted an exclusive party at Ian Schrager’s The New York EDITION. The evening began with Rihanna entertaining a selection of her friends for an intimate dinner in chef Jason Atherton’s Clocktower restaurant. Guests included: Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West, Joan Smalls, Gigi Hadid, Zayn Malik, Wiz Khalifa, Joe Jonas, Alexa Chung, Catherine McNeil, Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Lindsey Wixson, Chris Rock, Lily Donaldson, Jeremy Scott, The Weeknd, Maxwell.
