Shine bright like a diamond: Rihannas best blinging moments, from her Jacob & Co. Super Bowl watc

May 2024 · 4 minute read

RiRi went all out for her new baby bump reveal (and stage comeback), lighting up the stage in over a million dollars worth of bling. It’s certainly not the first time the pop icon has opted for lavish accessories though. Here are the billionaire’s blingiest moments yet:

1. Glitzy Jacob & Co. watch with a US$1 million ring for her Super Bowl comeback

Not only did Rihanna sport a US$72,000 diamond- and ruby-encrusted Jacob & Co. watch on the Super Bowl half-time stage – the songstress also outdid herself by adding on more than US$1 million worth of bling, during her set last month, which attracted more than 118 million viewers.

Her Bayco ring featured 5.66 carats of trillion-cut and round brilliant diamonds, set in platinum with a 19.47-carat Burma ruby that put the bauble at a whopping million-dollar price tag. The piece stirred controversy however, as the ruby was sourced from Myanmar, which is known for providing profits from its rare gemstones trade to fund the government’s ruling military junta. She has yet to comment on the backlash.

2. Shimmering in Cartier at the 2022 Golden Globes

RiRi made her Golden Globes debut with boyfriend/baby daddy A$AP Rocky in February, where the couple showed up fashionably late decked in head-to-toe Hollywood glamour ensembles.

The “Lift Me Up” singer matched her billowing Schiaparelli gown with Cartier jewels. Her transformable Sixième Sens high jewellery necklace featured an 8.45-carat pear-shaped diamond as a pendant, and paired well with her earrings.

3. Messika belly chain at a Fenty launch

Rihanna became the queen of maternity fashion in 2022, and is likely to rock even more proud mama looks with her latest pregnancy news.

One of her stand-out moments include her personalised diamond belly chain from the Messika high jewellery collection. She wore the statement accessory that wrapped around her giant baby bump at a Fenty Beauty launch with Ulta Beauty in LA.

4. Bulgari diamond necklace at the 2021 Met Gala

The “We Found Love” singer reigned supreme in the fashion department once again, this time at the Met Gala in her custom Balenciaga dress. Keeping her quilt-like outfit simple with just one solid black colour allowed her jewels to shine even brighter. Rihanna also wore 267 carats of Bulgari high jewellery and archival diamonds, in the form of a necklace, bracelets and earrings.

5. Aquamarine necklace at the 2019 British Fashion Awards

RiRi proved to us once again that she isn’t afraid to flaunt some serious bling on the red carpet at the 2019 British Fashion Awards.

The “Umbrella” star was the centre of attention wearing a 21-carat Boghossian silk Mardin necklace with over 37 carats of aquamarines, accompanied with a Boghossian Kissing ring set in 13.35-carat aquamarine and 3.48 pariba.

6. Archival Cartier necklace at the 2018 Met Gala

Rihanna broke the internet in 2018 when she turned up to the Met Gala dressed like a pope – yes, a pope. A co-host for the event that year alongside Amal Clooney, the style queen appropriately accessories the Catholicism-inspired look with a glitzy amount of bling, but the vintage 1934 Cartier crucifix certainly takes the crowning glory.

7. L’Heure du Diamant Earrings at the 4th Diamond Ball

Rihanna was the true diamond of the ball when she rocked up to her own annual event in over 100 carats of the gemstone. According to reports, the “Work” singer shimmered with her Chopard watch, ring and hoop earring set in 18k white gold from the brand’s L’Heure du Diamant collection.

8. Multicoloured Chopard earrings at the 2017 Grammys

The nine-time Grammy award-winner arrived at the event in 2017 wearing a pair of dazzling multicoloured earrings from Chopard.

The chandelier pair were designed in collaboration with RiRi, then an ambassador for the brand, and featured a vibrant mix of pastel-yellow sapphires, rubellites, rubies, tsavorite garnets, topaz, beryl, Paraiba tourmalines and a 4.42-carat aquamarine.

9. Mix and match for Fenty, September 2017

The billionaire stunned the red carpet once again when she arrived in a voluminous tulle tutu from London designer Molly Goddard at a Fenty event in 2017. She accessorised the ensemble with a chunky Chopard necklace, a ring from Hong Kong-born, London-based Anabela Chan, diamond rings from Messika and ear cuffs by Anita Ko. Regal RiRi indeed.
