Last night, Rihanna hosted her third annual Diamond Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The ball supports the Clara Lionel Foundation, which is the 29-year-old songstress’ charity. As the star of the show, the gorgeous Wild Thoughts singer looked absolutely radiant, with her middle-parted wavy tresses and glowing visage. Rihanna’s textured raven locks were worn loose and flowing, with the darker colour suiting her tan colouring.

Meanwhile, Riri emphasized her green eyes with soft coppery eyeshadow and violet eyeliner. Lashings of mascara and subtly highlighted apricot cheeks enhanced her features, while a natural-looking coral was her choice of lipstick tone. Paired with her fresh-faced glow and filled-in eyebrows, the makeup look was chic and suitable for the occasion.

We are liking Rihanna’s understated yet feminine beauty statement, which is certainly a change from the star’s usually edgy, brooding looks. Overall, the Barbados-born star looked like the ultimate diva, and allowed her natural beauty to shine at the event.
