PARIS (AP) – After turning up at Balmain’s show after everyone had left, Barbadian superstar Rihanna arrived this time at yesterday’s Christian Dior show before hardly anyone had arrived.
Though the 26-year-old clearly doesn’t lack staff – with aggressive bodyguards around her – if “fashionably early” doesn’t catch on, perhaps she could do with a better time-keeper.
Photographers swarmed around the Diamonds singer inside Paris’ Musee Rodin in front of row upon row of empty Dior seating.
“I just love fashion,” she told The Associated Press as she posed in shades and a bright fur Dior wrap jacket that revealed ample bosom to flashes of camera.
If the singer, who hopes to launch a designing career and is touring Paris Fashion Week, was aiming to create the new concept of “fashionably early”, good luck to her.
Celebrities are normally expected to enter at the very last minute for fashion shows, for maximum effect.
Also at the eventful Dior show, France’s former first lady Valerie Trierweiler, an ex-partner of President Francois Hollande, made a rare appearance.
It was, by coincidence, on the exact same day as her former love rival Julie Gayet made her first public appearance since this secret tryst with the president that rocked the whole of France.
