Rihanna and Ayra Starr turned heads at the Grand Kadooment parade in St. Michael, stunning in custom bedazzled costumes by Lauren Austin. This vibrant event is a highlight of the three-month-long Crop Over festival, celebrating Barbadian music, arts, food, and culture.
Since its inception in 1974, the festival has grown into a major tourist attraction while preserving local cultural traditions. Running from June to the first Monday in August, it culminates in Kadooment Day, one of the Caribbean’s largest and most celebrated carnivals.
Radiant as ever, Rihanna and Ayra Starr captivated in their dazzling outfits, showcasing their charisma and exuberance in Rihanna’s home country. Their bond, first sparked at the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty Event in London earlier this year, has clearly flourished.
