Once Mona Tougaard closed the 67-look, Spring 2026 Couture show, photos confirmed Rihanna booked it backstage to applaud Anderson in person. It seems the creative director sent his biggest celebrity supporter home with a couture-filled goody bag. She arrived at Dior's after-party wearing the collection's signature motif: oversize, cyclamen flowers transformed into 3D earrings. (Anderson gave them a starring role in the show after John Galliano gifted him "the most beautiful" bouquet .) Numerous white and purple petals covered RiRi's ears like earmuffs, before black satin bows cascaded behind her back.
The rest of her outfit looked decidedly anti-couture, beginning with an oversize white T-shirt. She tucked the basic into a mid-wash take on the cigarette jeans trend ; a slim silhouette for the wide-leg enthusiast . Perhaps she was inspired by Jennifer Lawrence or Alexa Chung, both of whom defied Couture Week dress codes in jeans at the Dior show. Satin, champagne-colored stilettos instantly elevated her denim the Rihanna way.
Alongside flowers-turned-earrings, Anderson loaned her Look 36's faux fur stole, minus the asymmetrical black skirt he originally paired it with. Instead of styling it as an off-the-shoulder top (like the model), Rihanna draped its narrow, sash-like strands around her elbows.
It's unclear if the Couture Spring 2026 brooch made the cut, but either way, fur shawls are classic Rihanna-core right now. This month alone, she's worn three similar styles, including a vintage find from John Galliano Fall 2002 on Jan. 20 . (Leave it to Rihanna to tease her Haute Couture Week run with a design by the former creative director of Dior.)
To finish her post-show set, Rihanna frosted herself not in diamonds, but beaded and pendant cameo necklaces. Though Anderson didn't include a single necklace in his Spring 2026 Couture lineup, Rihanna's stack paralleled the whimsical nature of his other accessories.
