More details on Rihanna's outing for the SS25 NYFW events
Rihanna had a full schedule on September 6, 2024. Her first stop was at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards held at the Rainbow Room.
She presented the Magazine of the Year Award to Katie Grand, founder of Perfect Magazine, and the senior contributing fashion director, Jahleel Weaver, her longtime friend and creative director for the Fenty Beauty brand.
In her surprise speech for Jahleel Weaver, she mentioned how special Weaver was to her and the storied history they share:
"This evening, I'm here to present an award to someone who's very special to me. Someone who I've watched grow and evolve over the years. I saw you as a fashion baby in your fashion diapers."
"I was also in my fashion diapers at the time and I've been privy to witness you in all of the layers, all of the things that people, most people will not be able to even experience with you."
She got emotional as she spoke about Weaver:
"All of the things that you've been able to do on your own alongside me. I'm not about to cry mother******like, you know, and now I'm going off the speech that I wrote."
The singer concluded her speech by mentioning how she watched Jahleel evolve "into a scientist, a specialist, and a teacher." She also added that she felt nervous talking in front of pretty people, but doing it was worth it that night. She then invited Jahleel Weaver and Katie Grand to the stage to receive their awards.
After presenting the award, she made a late appearance at Alaia's SS24 show, was held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She joined other celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Law Roach, Linda Evangelista, Amber Valletta, and Stephanie Seymour at the event.
