Rihanna wore a custom Balenciaga pink gown with gloves and hat at the Gotham Film Awards 2025 in New York City.
At the 35th Gotham Film Awards in New York City, Rihanna turned the red carpet into a surrealist stage. Wearing a custom Balenciaga Spring 2026 gown, she embraced a flowing off-the-shoulder silhouette in cotton-candy pink, paired with black gloves, a matching headpiece, and oversized sunglasses. The look was theatrical, almost sculptural — a deliberate exaggeration of red carpet tropes that felt more Comme des Garçons than couture.
The ensemble’s accessories — the Balenciaga gloves and hat, the Bvlgari Midnight Riviera necklace, and the Amina Muaddi Custom Pink Diamante Sandals (though not visible, confirmed via context) — reinforced the fantasy. This wasn’t just a gown; it was a character. Rihanna’s styling suggested a postmodern debutante, one who understands the power of irony and excess in equal measure.
