Rihanna may only be in her 20s, but she has already seen her fair share of tribulation. If you don’t recall, the spotlight was recently on the young songstress for her very public domestic violence incident with then-boyfriend Chris Brown.
The incident led to Ri’s disappearance from the music industry for quite a while. After taking some time to find herself, the 28-year-old now hopes to inspire young women to become themselves.

Rihanna was honored with the Rock Star Award at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) “Black Girls Rock!” Awards.
Besides the accessories, Rihanna wore a complete look from Miu Miu’s 2016 Autumn/Winter runway show. Her look included a blue button-up shirt, white shorts, an oversized fur coat, and embellished heels.

Rihanna added her flair by adding golden hair accessories, oversized jeweled necklaces by Le Vian, Bavna, and Jacqui Aiche rings, anklets, and a fully embellished pearl clutch from Dolce & Gabbana.
Her stunning diamond cross necklace from luxury jewelry brand Le Vian is reportedly from the high-end brand’s outdated “Endless” collection, which debuted in 1999. This rare beauty’s price tag? A whopping $60,000!

Rihanna delivered a heartfelt speech afterward, sharing, “This world is so big, and it can be incredibly confusing at times. It’s easy to forget who you are or become tainted by society’s expectations. The only thing that has kept me grounded is staying true to myself.” She added, “The moment you learn to love yourself, you’ll never want to be anyone else.”
