Mumbai, April 26

Global music and beauty icon Rihanna was hosted by the Ambani family for an intimate luncheon in Mumbai, marking a high-profile convergence of international celebrity influence and India's expanding luxury retail market.

Rihanna was welcomed at the Ambani residence by Isha, Shloka, Radhika, and Anant Ambani. The gathering went beyond a social call, offering a curated cultural experience with presentations of Indian dance, traditional art, and heritage displays.

The visit coincides with a key business development, the official launch of Fenty Beauty in India through Reliance Retail.

The brand will be available exclusively through the Reliance's beauty platform Tira and global retailer Sephora.

The collaboration also positions Tira as a significant gateway for international brands entering the country.

Images from the event show Rihanna interacting with the Ambani family in a setting adorned with floral arrangements and traditional artefacts, reflecting an immersive cultural theme.

The global star was also seen immersed in prayers at the Ambani family's home temple.

Rihanna's presence in Mumbai generated considerable excitement among fans. For the launch event, Rihanna made a bold fashion statement in a monochrome chartreuse outfit from the Mugler Fall 2026 collection.

The striking look featured a flowing mock-neck top with long sleeves, paired with a matching ankle-length leather skirt that added drama and structure.

Later, for the after-party, the singer changed into a black fit-and-flare jersey dress. The outfit featured a high turtleneck, full sleeves and crocodile-style leather cut-outs that gave it a sharp, modern edge.

She completed the look with multiple diamond rings, statement ear cuffs and a sparkling diamond hathphool by Manish Malhotra, adding a desi touch to the evening.

Rihanna last visited Mumbai in 2024, when she attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding celebrations. She launched Fenty Beauty on September 8, 2017, in collaboration with LVMH.

The brand quickly made waves in the beauty industry for its commitment to inclusivity, debuting with a foundation line featuring 40 shades catering to a wide range of skin tones.

I get that this is big for the luxury market, but with 90% of India still buying local soaps and oils, how many can actually afford a ₹3,500 foundation? This feels more like a symbol of hyper-elite globalization, not something that touches the common Indian. Still, the hathphool with diamonds was a nice touch—at least she appreciated our culture.

Loved seeing Rihanna in the temple—such a respectful gesture! The Manish Malhotra hathphool with the diamond rings was pure elegance. It's so cool that a global icon is embracing Indian traditions while doing business here. More power to women entrepreneurs! 💪

Honestly, I'm bored of this Ambani wedding and party circuit. It's the same story—celebrities come, eat, pose, get paid crores, and leave. Meanwhile, small businesses in Bandra are struggling. The Fenty launch is cool, but can we also talk about how this monopoly in retail is squeezing out local brands? Just saying.

Chartreuse Mugler with a leather skirt? That's a bold choice for Mumbai humidity. But Rihanna pulls it off like a boss. The Fenty 40-shade foundation is a game-changer for Indian skin tones—finally, a brand that gets our melanin diversity. Can't wait to try it at Tira. 🔥
