Rihanna Wears Mugler and Alaïa for Fenty Beauty Mumbai Launch
Mumbai | April 27, 2026
Rihanna marked the India debut of Fenty Beauty with a high-profile appearance in Mumbai, hosting a pop-up launch event at the city’s luxury retail destination, Phoenix Palladium.
For the occasion, the global icon presented two distinct couture looks, showcasing contrasting design aesthetics from leading fashion houses.
For the main launch event, Rihanna wore a custom ensemble from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, designed by Miguel Castro Freitas. The look featured a chartreuse fluid crepe cascade top paired with a structured leather mermaid skirt.


The outfit was styled with matching heels in the same tone, while jewellery by Manish Malhotra added a local design element to the overall look. A bold red lip completed the styling, creating a strong visual contrast.
For a later appearance, Rihanna changed into a custom look from Alaïa, inspired by Pieter Mulier’s Fall 2026 collection. The outfit featured a fitted, flared jersey silhouette with a distinctive V-shaped crocodile-textured leather panel.
The design referenced one of her previous Alaïa appearances, highlighting her continued association with the brand’s structured and body-contouring aesthetic.
Mumbai Hosts Global Beauty Launch
The event marked a significant moment for the Indian beauty and luxury market, with Mumbai serving as the backdrop for Fenty Beauty’s latest international expansion. Rihanna’s appearance, along with styling that incorporated Indian jewellery, reflected a blend of global fashion with regional influence.
