For the night, Rihanna chose jewellery designed by two of India’s most renowned fashion designers, Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra.
Her look was a stunning monochrome ensemble in cherry red. She wore a strappy bodycon dress paired with a matching bomber jacket that had an off-shoulder design.

But it was Rihanna’s jewellery that was the highlight of the night. She wore a three-drop necklace featuring rubellite, tourmaline, and brilliant-cut diamonds from Sabyasachi. Alongside this, she sported a Ruby Choker from Manish Malhotra, crafted from 18k gold with custom-cut rubies encrusted in diamonds.

This collaboration is significant because Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra are often seen as direct competitors in the Indian fashion market. Seeing their creations on an international star like Rihanna is a major achievement.
