| And none shined brighter |
When Rihanna announced plans for the inaugural annual Diamond Ball – a black tie fundraising event benefiting The Clara Lionel Foundation, we knew it would be nothing short of amazing and boy were we right!
Founded in 2012, the Clara Lionel Foundation works to improve the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health, education, arts, and culture.
“One of the greatest benefits of my job was being able to start the Clara Lionel Foundation in honor of my grandparents. There is truly nothing I’m more proud of and we’ve just gotten started. I’m excited to continue my work and thrilled to be able to host the Diamond Ball – a night that promises to be elegant and inspirational.” – Rihanna

Now let’s talk about Rihanna’s performance!From the introduction, to the fabulous gown and that amazing orchestra! Riri sure knows how to put up a good show.

| THE BRAD PITT INTRODUCTION: Brad Pitt introduced Rihanna in the most hilarious way, reeling out her achievements like she had done something bad. Our favorite would be “…only 90 million Facebook fans and 40 million Twitter followers, I ask that we stand together by her side and show her our support and our love and say to her the hard words, “Rihanna put down that sandwich, get off your ass and do something. God damn it, just do something with your life”– Pitt |
A Zac Posen and Chopard Night: Look at that dress! Rihanna changed into another Zac Posen stunner and another Chopard jewlery , this time in Navy blue. Now this is an Oscar worthy gown and the way it billowed whilst she conducted the orchestra. fabulous dress+ excellent perfromance + elegant guests + great auction = Successful 1st Diamond Ball!
