When pop icon Rihanna lands in Mumbai, subtlety is definitely not on the guest list. What was meant to be a high-glam beauty celebration moment quickly turned into a moment of intrigue with a red-carpet incident involving renowned fashion mogul Manish Malhotra.
The Red Carpet Incident
For the red carpet, Rihanna decided to show up in two stunning ensembles. For the second one, she chose stunning Manish Malhotra jewellery, which shockingly snapped in front of the cameras. Rihanna chose a stunning all-black ensemble with a diamond haathphool, which looked perfect against the black silhouette with a fluid touch. But right in front of the paparazzi, the haathphool jewel from Manish Malhotra's label snapped, and the global star was seen fixing it. Instantly, the moment was captured on camera.
Manish Malhotra's Clarification
Before the internet could twist the narrative and bind its own story, Manish Malhotra High Jewellery's Instagram account pointed out that the diamond haathphool piece is detachable. The piece is crafted over 2400 hours and is a modern version of the traditional Indian haathphool jewellery. It is sculpted with great precision and mirrors grace, intention, and unmistakable craftsmanship. One can style it with a saree or their favourite modish dress piece, and it will live on as a creative masterpiece. Rihanna also added a stunning diamond ear cuff, which looked dazzling against the black finesse background.
Rihanna's First Look
For her first look, she chose a lime-green voluminous gown and finally brought Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra together by wearing both their jewellery pieces. Now, is the broken haathphool moment an accidental snap in the middle of all the star power, or just another exaggerated fashion rumour? Either way, the moment brought all the ingredients of iconic chaos with an unapologetic glam edge.
