The singer and businesswoman described the new makeup range's “soft, luminous finish, like beautiful, glowing, natural skin,” which sounds like a lovely golden hour in Barbados.
But that's what you came for: music updates! Rihanna seemed aware that everyone has been waiting a long time for 'R9,' the long-awaited sequel to her 2016 album 'Anti,' and she humorously answered questions about her next album during an interview with Extra on the carpet at the event on Friday.
In short, Rihanna is adamant about making a new album worth the wait.
“It's going to be a great piece of work,” she said of her future prospects as an artist. “It has to be. That's the only reason it hasn't been released yet. If I didn't feel it, and I didn't feel like it represented an evolution or a time that I was away… showing growth. You should, right?”
Rihanna said, “I want to perform and I feel like music is my playground. I want to have fun with music and really show who I am,” adding, “I only collaborate with other artists when I'm very intentional. I intend to,” he added. . You'll know when you get the record. ”
It's worth noting that just a week and a half ago, Rihanna said, “We already have something that could be a hit.” She described the ongoing work as “very good.”
Rihanna's master plan for new music is still unknown, but she has confirmed that she plans to attend the Met Gala, and has revealed that she currently has two options for the dress she'll wear on the big night, but don't expect anything too outlandish. It would be better not to.
“I'm actually keeping it really simple this year,” Rihanna said of her plans for the prestigious event on May 6th. “It's very simple. I think it's going to be what my makeup and hair are going to be. We want to play with it, but I don't know what we're going to do with it.”
“It's very simple compared to what I've done before,” she said of the idea for the understated look. “I'm coming for dinner! Shout out to Anna Wintour.”
The mother to an almost two-year-old with A$AP Rocky (her son RZA turns two in May), she spoke about her experiences with fashion since starting parenthood.
“When you become a mom, your style changes from 'Okay,' to 'Let's see what fits,' to 'I'm going to be a bad bitch today,'” Rihanna said. “Sometimes you have to remind yourself, the bad girl is still out there somewhere.”
