Rihanna’s back at Fashion Week and all is right in the world.

The Grammy winner, mogul and mom of two stepped out at the Dior Haute Couture show in Paris on Monday wearing an all-black outfit, including a formfitting skirt, belted padded jacket, gloves and hat (that very few people can pull off — she is one of them).

She carried a black Lady Dior bag and contrasted the all-black ‘fit with white ankle-strap heels. She added some shimmer with a gorgeous diamond necklace and earrings.

For her glam, Rihanna, 35, chose a vampy lip color and kept her eye makeup smoky. Her skin had just a hint of dewiness for added shine (which could just be that new mom glow!).

Rihanna shutting down a front row at Fashion Week is nothing new for the superstar, but seeing her fangirl over another celebrity is surprisingly relatable. The singer shared a sweet, unscripted moment with Natalie Portman outside the show.

When the two women bumped into each other, neither could help gushing over the other. While they hugged, Portman vehemently told Rihanna how much she loved her, to which the singer hilariously replied, “You’re one of the hottest bitches in Hollywood forever.”

The two posed for photos together and Rihanna made sure everyone knew that she doesn’t “get excited about anything,” but she was definitely excited to meet the May December star. Portman gushed that she listens to Rihanna’s music all the time, so the moment was big for both of the women. They embraced again before parting ways.

Rihanna’s appearance at Couture Fashion Week comes five months after she welcomed her second baby boy with A$AP Rocky, Riot Rose. The couple were already parents to son RZA and Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime show last year.

She played up the big pregnancy reveal in the opening moments of her February performance, rubbing her stomach and leaving the zipper of her outfit — a jumpsuit layered over a close-fitting bodysuit and sculpted bandeau — down to reveal her belly.

In December, Rihanna told Access Hollywood that the big reveal actually wasn’t planned, but it became necessary.

“Here’s the thing. I did what I had to do, right? My jumper couldn’t zip up,” she said with a laugh while speaking with the outlet about her partnership with Puma. “No one knew I was pregnant. I just told my stylist, ‘Make sure it’s stretchy.'”

She continued, “So the undergarment was stretchy and this was baggy, but you know, the zip. It just stopped right there! So it had to be what it had to be.”
