Rihanna Teases 'Simple' Met Gala Look & 'Amazing' New Music! (Exclusive)
Rihanna chatted with “Extra’s” Terri Seymour Saturday as she celebrated the launch of her new Fenty Beauty Soft’lit Foundation in L.A.
Rihanna shared her passion for the launch, saying, "This is actually the biggest launch we've had in the brand since the brand launched in 2017. This is major for us. It's a new era in foundation for the brand."
She went on, "This time, instead of the matte finish, this is more of a soft, luminescent finish, like a nice, glowy, natural-skin look."
Saying she is not a fan of oily makeups, she also revealed how her homeland inspired the new product. "Barbados has one of the best golden hours in the world, if I might say so myself. It's basically just putting all of that into a bottle. Barbados is always an inspiration for me for so many of my products, not just in beauty but in skincare as well. We were able to capture that, even in this product there are so many great, skin-loving ingredients in this bottle of foundation. It's nourishing to the skin as well as beautiful performance that your skin gets just by having that glow."
RiRi also teased her Met Gala look, saying, "I'm actually just keeping it real simple this year... Very simple... I think it's gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do. We wanna play with that, but I have no idea what I'm gonna do with that."
Revealing she has two options for dresses, she described them as, "Very simple-ish... compared to everything I've ever done. I'm showing up for dinner! Shout out to Anna Wintour."
The superstar also dished on how her style has evolved as a mom, saying, "When you become a mom, your style goes from like 'blah' to 'let's see what fits' to 'I'm gonna be a bad bitch today.' You've got to remind yourself a little bit sometimes, you know, bad bitch is still in there somewhere. You wanna be comfortable because you're moving around so much and then it's whatever fits. Right now, my clothes are either too big or too small most of the time."
Plus, she talked about getting ready to celebrate older son RZA’s second birthday next month! "It just hit me over the head the other day," she said of the upcoming birthday. "Two under 2 — that's a royal rumble right there."
What is RZA like? "He's very into everything sensory — sounds, touch, climbing. He's active, he's fearless, but still cautious at the same time."
As for having a big party, Rihanna said, "I don't know about big, but I want it to be something he enjoys. You know, the first one is really for the parents and everybody in his life, but the second one, he's more aware, he's more emotionally connected to things. I want it to be something that's stimulating for him."
Her Mother’s Day plans include "sleep, hopefully... sleep, and maybe I will get a bouquet of flowers or something." She added, "Whatever I'm doing, I'm doing for our moms. They really deserve the spotlight for Mother's Day this year... They are literally holding it down right now while I am here and Rocky is out of town."
Finally, Rihanna talked about the one question that never goes away — what we can expect from her musically! Smiling and laughing, she coyly said, "It's gonna be amazing," adding, "It has to be — that is the only reason it's not out yet. If I'm not feeling it and I'm not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away. There should be a show of growth, right? I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at."
As for any potential collabs, she said, "I'm not a big collaborator... It has to be very intentional, so I'll know when I have the record."
Rihanna was wearing a Manolo Blahnik dress.
