In addition to celebrating her success, Rihanna’s return to Barbados this week marked the opening of the first Fenty Beauty stores on the island. The primary store on Broad Street and yet another at Sunset Mall on the West Coast welcomed eager fans who flocked to see their national heroine in action, and Rihanna didn’t let them down by showing up in an outfit that felt as iconic as her influence on Barbados.
Wearing a lemon-yellow Zimmermann Spring 2025 dress, Rihanna made a dramatic debut, embracing her reputation as a worldwide beauty mogul and style queen. In keeping with her penchant for the theatrical, the dress had a macramé bodice that was braided and flowed into a striking high-low hemline with ruffles that fell in waves. It was a stunning and daring decision that went well with Rihanna’s extravagant persona.

With elaborate bodice detailing, flowing cuts, and fabric that looked tailored for a sun-drenched Caribbean location, Zimmermann’s typical boho flair was clearly on exhibit. The dress felt flawless in the setting of Rihanna’s homecoming and exuded a feeling of ease and elegance that only Zimmermann can produce. Her skin tone contrasted beautifully with this lemon tint, which exuded warmth and vitality in harmony with the essence of the island.
For someone else, this may have been just lovely, but Rihanna gave it a very other vibe.
