Rihanna was recently in India for the launch of her beauty brand, Fenty Beauty. During her visit, she attended a special lunch hosted by the Ambani family, where she experienced cultural traditions such as playing phoolon wali Holi and feeding a cow. However, her visit has now sparked an online debate over the luxury Dior handbag she carried, which reportedly features animal leather.

During her visit to Antilia, Rihanna participated in a puja, performed aarti, and took part in Phoolon Ki Holi using flower petals. She was also welcomed with a traditional dance performance upon entering the residence, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.

Here’s All You Need To Know About This
According to multiple reports, Rihanna was carrying a Dior Crunchy bag worth approximately ₹4.3 lakh during her visit. The accessory soon became the centre of online debate after users noted that, as per the brand’s product description, the bag is crafted using calfskin, along with lambskin detailing and lining.
Screenshots of the Dior website highlighting these materials have been circulating widely on social media ever since. This has prompted some users to point out the irony, since Rihanna had also been seen feeding a cow during the same visit. For some, the contrast appeared contradictory.
However, not everyone agreed. Many online users pushed back against the criticism, calling it disproportionate. They pointed out that leather products are widely used across the world, including by individuals who advocate for or care about animals, arguing that the backlash reflected selective outrage.
