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.

If there's one thing we can expect from a Fenty x Puma collection, it's that Rihanna will offer a masterclass in how to style her newest inventions. 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.
