Rihanna Shines Bright Like A Diamond During Her Oscars Performance

HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA  MARCH 12  Rihanna performs onstage during the 95th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre on March...
Rihanna, who is currently pregnant with her second child, performed her power ballad “Lift Me Up” in custom Margiela at the Oscars tonight. The song, which was up for “Best Original Song” at the ceremony, is a powerful tribute to late Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman. The performance saw the popstar put her powerful vocals on full display, with a robust orchestra behind her.

The singer wore an ornate bandeau bra embellished with hanging strands of crystals that curtained her baby bump. The look also included sparkly brocade trousers and latex opera gloves, rounded out with a heist-worthy amount of De Beers sparkle on her neck, wrist, and ears. The bump-baring look felt like a fabulous extension of the bold Alaïa outfit RiRi wore on the red carpet earlier in the night.

It honours Boseman, who died shortly before filming on Wakanda Forever began. Rihanna’s partner A$AP Rocky was in the audience and raised his champagne flute to his beau at the performance’s end. The star-studded audience at the Dolby Theater gave the singer a standing ovation.
