From its bold, bright feathers to its glamorous, bejeweled accents, Rihanna’s fit slays to the Barbadian fashion ‘gawds.
In the photos captured, Rih Rih was the epitome of cultural couture. A bold blend of traditional carnival elements and high-fashion flair, Sis’ outfit slayed to the Barbadian fashion gawds.
Rihanna wore a bejeweled bodysuit that left just enough to the imagination. The one-piece featured a kaleidoscope of colors, from orange to purple, and intricate gold details that caught the light with every shake, twirl, and whine.
A dramatic set of feathered wings and an over-the-top headpiece set off the “Umbrella” singer’s festival look. Her feathers were larger than life, arranged in an explosion of bright-colored hues. Her head attire was a crown of golden spikes and matching jewels, giving the Fenty mogul an almost mythical presence.
Rihanna is the ‘Queen Of The Barbados Crop Festival.’
Rihanna’s return to the festival is more than just a fashion statement to make us gag; it’s a cultural celebration. As Barbados.com describes the annual event:
“The Crop Over Summer Festival is Barbados’ most popular and colorful festival. Its origins can be traced back to the 1780s, a time when Barbados was the world’s largest producer of sugar. At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest—the Crop Over celebration. “
If there’s one thing Rihanna is going to do, it is represent her home country. So, it makes sense that her outfit not only inspires us with style but also shows her vibrant pride, heritage, and rich culture.
