Rihanna stuns in crystal mesh dress at NYFW Alaïa show

Only Rihanna could elevate New York Fashion Week's most sought-after event even further.

The singer arrived fashionably late at the Guggenheim museum on Friday evening for the spring 2025 Alaïa show. As expected, she made a bold entrance in a sheer mesh dress adorned with crystals, with a pearl-encrusted bodysuit underneath, and completed the look with pearl-embellished strappy sandals that wrapped around her legs.

It has been a significant week for the star, who revealed her highly anticipated campaign for Dior J'Adore perfume on Monday.

Her hair cascaded over her shoulders in soft, chocolate waves— a fresh look for the singer, who recently launched her Fenty Hair collection at Sephora and had been sporting a warmer honey shade.

Earlier on Friday, Rihanna made another striking appearance, wearing an Alaïa teddy coat, a bustier dress, and another pair of strappy sandals at The Daily Front Row awards, where she presented Katie Grand and stylist and creative director Jahleel Weaver with the magazine of the year award for their work at Perfect.

Rihanna is a devoted fan of Alaïa and was seen wearing the brand's popular studded ballet flats for her son RZA’s birthday in New York back in May. The $1,290 shoes were made from white lambskin and featured crystal studs throughout, including on the buckle strap.
