Rihanna debuts dramatic blonde fringe at her Fenty X PUMA collaboration in London

Rihanna debuted a dramatic fringe at the launch of her new Fenty x PUMA trainer at London’s Tobacco Dock on Wednesday night.

The singer, 36, has collaborated with the sports brand to release several earthy colourways of her Fenty X Puma Creeper Phatty shoe.

For the London launch, Rihanna posed for photographers in an oversized cream wool blazer with grey pleated trousers, a complementing shirt and a pair of trainers from her new collection.

However, it was the Work hitmaker’s new ‘do that garnered the most attention which she paired with a bold red lip.

Alongside the Grammy winning artist, Celebrity Big Brother stars Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace and Brad Riches were in attendance as well as Love Island alumni Amber Gill, Tyler Cruickshank, Dami Hope and Indiyah Pollack.

Ru Paul's Drag Race stars Cara Melle, Tayce, Black Peppa, and Kitty-Scott Claus also attended the star-studded event as well as British rapper Aitch.

Rihanna announced her Fenty x PUMA trainer collaboration in February. In her Instagram post, she could be seen showcasing the new shoes, which retail for £120, saying, “I'm trying to make my style look proud.”

The trainer comes in three colour variations and is “wrapped in luxurious calf hair and rounded off with embroidered FENTY branding and retro gum soles”. They are also available in kid and toddler sizes.

Elsewhere, Rihanna’s appearance comes after she said that she is leaving it up to God to decide how many more children she has in the future.

The Barbadian singer already shares two sons, RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023, with US rapper ASAP Rocky.

When asked by the Interview magazine about future children, Rihanna said that she wants to have as “many as god wants me to have”.

She also said: “I don’t know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”

Rihanna also said that in “previous relationships” before ASAP Rocky, she did not feel like it was “enough”.

“When someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling,” she said.

“I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”

The couple publicly revealed their relationship in 2020, but Rihanna said they started dating around the end of 2019 in the interview, after they had known each other for years.

She said they saw creativity “the same” and “ended up supporting each other’s brands and products”.
