Rihanna arrived in Mumbai for an event related to her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty. A viral photo of her feeding a cow during her visit sparked online outrage. While some applauded the gesture, others noticed the irony: Rihanna was seen holding a green Dior bag in her left hand, which allegedly contained calfskin and lambskin embellishments. The bag reportedly costs ₹4.3 Lakh. Social media users criticized her for perceived hypocrisy, though some argued there was no confirmation of actual animal skin use. The controversy overshadowed her interactions with influencers, fans, and attendees at a launch event, including a post-visit after-party with Janhvi Kapoor and designer Manish Malhotra. Rihanna also greeted fans outside, saying 'shukriya'.
