Rihanna slays in baby blue and braids for dinner in Santa Monica after trademarking Fenty Hair range

Rihanna never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion, and her latest outing for dinner was no exception.

The singer and designer, 33, was spotted in a stunning baby blue ensemble with pink accents as she headed out in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, on Friday. 

Rihanna chose a striking blue co-ord consisting of high-waisted trousers and a crop top, which she paired with a blue and pink checked coat, matching shoes and a pink handbag. 

Accessories included a beaded blue choker and a surgical mask – which coincidentally colour matched as well, to protect her amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

Rih’s gorgeous braided hairdo was also tied into a bun on the top of her head, with a few plaits framing her face. 

It comes after rumours began that Rihanna may be venturing into haircare after trademarking the Fenty Hair brand. 

Legal documents were filed on March 3 for her company Roraj Trade LLC to trademark Fenty Hair for a range of products including shampoo, hair straightening, hair relaxing, hair glitter, bleach and colour.

Rihanna is yet to confirm or comment on her new venture publicly, but it comes weeks after LVMH announced they were shutting down Rihanna’s Fenty clothing brand. 

LVMH said in a statement: ‘Rihanna and LVMH have jointly made the decision to put on hold the RTW activity, based in Europe, pending better conditions.

‘Following the completion of a fundraising round where L Catterton has taken a stake into Savage X Fenty, LVMH and Rihanna reaffirm their ambition to concentrate on the growth and the long-term development of [the] Fenty ecosystem focusing on cosmetics, skincare and lingerie.’

The Diamonds star and her team are said to be focusing their efforts on the rest of her multi-million dollar empire, including her best-selling makeup brand Fenty Beauty and her underwear range, Savage X Fenty, which has reportedly since been valued at $1billion (£720m).
