Rihanna Goes Home to Barbados to Celebrate Her Newest Fenty x Puma Collection
Rihanna has returned home. The superstar musician and entrepreneur has traveled to her native country of Barbados to celebrate her latest Fenty x Puma collection, which is set to release on Thursday at 10 a.m. ET. Ahead of the much-anticipated drop, Fenty x Puma set up a celebration on the Caribbean island, which inspired the bright summery colors showcased in the new collection. Rihanna commanded attention at a kickoff celebration in a uniquely layered mint green ensemble rounded out by a pair of the new Avanti LS sneaker, a cleat-inspired shoe with a fold-over tongue that is now reimagined in a neon green and orange colorway. In addition, the collection includes the buzzy Cat Cleat Jelly, which is a studded flip-flop.

For the celebration yesterday, she showed off a beachy-sporty-party aesthetic with a seafoam green triangle bikini top. Then there was her multi-colored athletic jersey garment, part of which was tucked beneath a sheer tulle skirt with ruffly trim; the skirt showcased both light green and turquoise layers. A chunky chain necklace with an ornate pendant from Sabyasachi — what looked to be same necklace Goldie Hawn wore to the 2025 Oscars — served as a glamorous accent to her outfit. Some of the guests included Serena Page, Kordell Beckham, Achieng Agutu, Isan Elba, Avani, Rickey Thompson, Jaida Buni, Nate White and more. Puma athletes who took part included Skylar Diggins-Smith, Charokee Young and Shericka Jackson. See more photos below.

Adidas Sportswear has launched its new Lightblaze sneaker line, with the first model dropping today. The shoe is designed for comfort and style, catering to those with active lifestyles who want to look good while on the move. The campaign features singer Tate McRae and soccer player Bradley Barcola, showcasing how the shoe blends athletic performance with fashion-forward style. With monochromatic color blocking, lifestyle characteristics, and bold three-stripe branding, Lightblaze elevates any minimalist or casual look. The upper features a mix of suede, leather, and mesh for added texture, while the full-length Lightstrike midsole provides lightweight cushioning and responsiveness for all-day wear. The full-length rubber outsole ensures maximum grip and durability.

From tour rehearsals to meeting friends for dinner, I need a shoe that can take me from day to night and promise me ultimate comfort, which is why I am a huge fan of Adidas Sportswear's new Lightblaze model. Stylish, comfy, and perfect to mix and match with all my fits.' The pop singer's fashion choices continue to draw inspiration from 90's pop icons. Featured in Adidas' Lightblaze sportswear campaign, McRae embraced Y2K fashion, sporting a belly chain with her athletic ensemble featuring a classic tank and baggy cargos. It's no secret that belly chains were a popular accessory in the late 1990s and early 2000s, often seen on celebrities like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and Beyoncé. Altogether, her look showcased a quintessential Y2K vibe. Aimee Arana, Global Senior Vice President Adidas Sportswear and Training, echoed McRae's sentiments, saying, 'Adidas Sportswear translates innovation from the field of play into modern lifestyle products, and this is exactly how we approached the creation of Lightblaze. We know our consumers have fast-paced lives and want lightweight comfort in their footwear, so we brought technology from our record-breaking Adizero running shoes into the lifestyle world to provide responsive cushioning, all day every day.' The Lightblaze family will transcend seasons to become the must-have sneaker for everyday movement, with fresh new colorways and updated silhouettes dropping in 2025. The first Lightblaze model is now available in stores, on the Adidas website, and via the Adidas app. Adidas History: 15 of the Brand's Most Momentous Firsts View Gallery15 Images Launch Gallery: All the Items Available at the Adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria Paris Pop-Up, PHOTOS Best of Footwear News NBA All-Star Weekend's Most Iconic Sneakers of All Time Super Bowl Halftime Show Shoes Through the Years: From Michael Jackson's Loafers to Rihanna's MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon Sneakers Roger Vivier's Belle Vivier Pumps Through the Years: From Jackie Kennedy to Melania Trump [PHOTOS]
