Nope, Rihanna's not done yet. After closing out New York Fashion Week in memorable fashion and then bringing her A-game to the after-party, the icon threw yet another stylish party in NYC: her fourth annual Diamond Ball. Benefiting her education charity, The Clara Lionel Foundation, the event drew plenty of well-dressed celebs.
The woman of the hour looked bridal-worthy in an Alexis Mabille jumpsuit cum dress while Issa Rae, Tiffany Haddish, and Duckie Thot all shined in glimmering metallic numbers. Paris and Nicky Hilton looked pretty in pastel gowns, and Joan Smalls stunned in a silky slip dress. Scroll down to see the best red carpet looks from Rihanna's Diamond Ball.
