Rihanna wears Sabyasachi, Manish Malhotra for Fenty event

It was a moment to highlight for Indian designers Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Manish Malhotra when singer-songwriter Rihanna wore neckpieces designed by both at a fashion event for her brand Fenty Hair in Los Angeles.

However, a whiff of controversy filled the air as Manish concealed Sabyasachi’s design by cropping out his long necklace from the picture and showcasing only his choker necklace in the image, giving the impression that Rihanna exclusively wore his design.

When the Sabyasachi brand used the entire picture of Rihanna showing both his and Manish’s designs, it was apparent that Manish had not played the game well. Many Netizens slammed Manish for unfairly hogging the entire credit.

The ‘Love The Way You Lie’ hitmaker donned an oversized zipper jacket, skirt, and camisole in the shade of ruby. She accessorized her look with a three-drop rubellite necklace from Sabyasachi and a choker necklace by Manish Malhotra.

While Sabyasachi’s necklace was made with tourmaline crystals with brilliant cut diamonds, Manish’s design was crafted in 18K gold and custom-cut rubies encrusted in diamonds.
