Rihanna announced the winner of the ‘Young Fashion Designer’ : LVMH Prize 2017 Edition in the presence of jury members including Karl Lagerfeld of Fendi, Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri, Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière, Loewe artistic director Jonathan Anderson, Céline’s Phoebe Philo and Kenzo designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim in Paris on June 16th.

Arriving in a Christian Dior dress from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s western-themed Resort collection, Rihanna brought an upbeat energy to the ceremony. She was all smiles as she handed the award to French designer Marine Serre, radiating laidback chic with her white eyelet dress unbuttoned to show a hint of her tattoos and her black bolero tilted to the side.

Rihanna underscored the finalists’ achievement. “Art has no walls or boundaries and is a force that cannot be ignored. It should be defended with courage and confidence. That is what we’re celebrating today,” she said.

“Hard work and a unique drive to create is why you’re all here, and this spectacular achievement in a rising career is what the LVMH Prize stands for. I want you to know that we are honoring all of your brilliant talents today, and making it here is only the beginning of a long and extraordinary journey.

“You designers are the future of fashion and I applaud you. From the bottom of my heart, congratulations, and don’t ever forget what you love, what inspires you and what has brought you this far,” said the singer, who has worn designs by previous winners Jacquemus and Marques’ Almeida.
