The [pop star](http://time.com/4690709/rihanna-paper-internet-reactions/) appeared the Chopard party held at the Cannes Film Festival in the French Riviera Thursday night wearing a classic black tulle-wrapped Ralph and Russo gown. While Rihanna completed the look with sparkling jewelry like many of the glamorous stars in attendance, the style chameleon actually had a hand in designing some of the bling. The rooftop party at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Martinez celebrated the high-end jeweler’s line titled Rihanna Loves Chopard, which the superstar co-designed with the brand’s creative director Caroline Scheufele. The pieces are priced starting at $1,460, [according to Chopard’s website](https://www.chopard.com/us/rihanna-loves-chopard), and they will hit Chopard boutiques in June, [according to WWD](http://wwd.com/accessories-news/jewelry/chopard-rihanna-cannes-film-festival-2017-10863391/). This is the first time the _Diamonds_ singer has hit the Cannes Film Festival, and guests of the party included actor Julianne Moore, and models Winnie Harlow and Petra Nemcova. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4785778/cannes-2017-rihanna-chopard-diamonds/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4785778/cannes-2017-rihanna-chopard-diamonds/"},"headline":"Rihanna Slayed in Bright Shiny Diamonds at Cannes","datePublished":"2017-05-19T14:30:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:48.263Z","description":"The style chameleon had a hand in designing some of the bling","url":"https://time.com/4785778/cannes-2017-rihanna-chopard-diamonds/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","fashion","Rihanna","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltadba53c32cc28430/6988ce072dce0166f49ed8f7/rihanna-cannes-film-festival-dinner-launch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltadba53c32cc28430/6988ce072dce0166f49ed8f7/rihanna-cannes-film-festival-dinner-launch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"rihanna-cannes-film-festival-dinner-launch","caption":"rihanna-cannes-film-festival-dinner-launch","creditText":"Pascal Le Segretain—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4785778/cannes-2017-rihanna-chopard-diamonds/","name":"Rihanna Slayed in Bright Shiny Diamonds at Cannes"}}]}] ```
