Rihanna made headlines when she was spotted wearing a $400,000 diamond ankle bracelet while attending a Formula 1 race in Las Vegas on November 21. She was dressed in a Balenciaga outfit, including a hoodie, leather jacket, leggings, and high-heeled shoes, totaling $4,550. However, the standout piece was the 18K white gold watch from Jacob & Co., adorned with a 70-carat diamond, worth over $1 million.
This is not the first time the “Diamonds” singer has accessorized in unconventional ways. In June, she wore a watch as a necklace when attending the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2024 men’s show designed by her close friend Pharrell Williams. The Jacob & Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon watch features an 18K white gold case with 339 baguette-cut diamonds weighing over 30 carats. It is valued at $700,000 and is one of only 18 pieces in the world. A month prior, Rihanna also wore a $600,000 diamond ring on her toe.
Aside from Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky, the Formula 1 race also saw the attendance of other celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton, Kylie Minogue, and John Legend.
Rihanna, 35 years old, is one of the highest-grossing singers in the world, with over 250 million records sold. She has won nine Grammy Awards, 13 American Music Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and holds six Guinness World Records. Some of her iconic hits include “Umbrella,” “Diamonds,” “Only Girl,” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child in May 2022 and their second child in August. According to Forbes, the Barbados-born star is the youngest self-made billionaire in the United States.
