Renowned pop superstar and fashion icon Rihanna did not shy away from expressing her strong disapproval of Megan Markle's outfit choice at the Bob Marley One Love movie premiere in Jamaica.
Rihanna, hailing from Barbados with close ties to the Caribbean, attended the star-studded event at the Carib Theater in Kingston on January 23rd, 2024. According to Rihanna, Megan's attire gave off the impression of attending a funeral rather than a vibrant movie premiere.
In contrast to Megan's subdued look, Rihanna made a bold statement with her own fashion choice. She dazzled in a vibrant, colorful dress paying homage to Bob Marley's reggae legacy. Rihanna complemented her attire with a Rasta-inspired hat and necklace, emphasizing the cultural significance of the occasion.
Megan, on the other hand, opted for a more understated look, donning a black leather-style top and a voluminous black skirt by Carolina Herrera, a designer she had worn previously. Rihanna openly criticized Megan's fashion selection, expressing dismay at what she perceived as a lack of style flare and understanding of the event's cultural significance.
Rihanna's comments sparked a debate on social media, with fans both supporting and criticizing her perspective. Some agreed with Rihanna, praising her honesty and bravery, accusing Megan of being insensitive to Jamaican culture and history.
They also criticized Megan for attending the premiere with the anti-monarchist Jamaican Prime Minister, which they saw as a snub to the royal family. On the other side, some critics rebuked Rihanna, labeling her as rude and unjust. They argued that Megan looked elegant and classy, showing respect and solidarity with the Jamaican people who face various challenges.
Despite the controversy, Megan chose not to respond to Rihanna's comments and has maintained her silence on social media since the premiere. It is anticipated that Megan and Harry will soon return to their home in California after spending a few days in Jamaica. The movie "Bob Marley One Love" stars Kingsley Benadir as the legendary singer and Lashana Lynch as his wife, Rita. Its release is scheduled for February 14th, 2011.
