Rihanna may often be busy with family time, but she also proved on Friday (May 31) that she can make plenty of due time for her friends, as well. Moreover, she hit up Pergola in New York City for a girl's night out, and donned some expectedly gorgeous drip for the occasion (click on the "Via" link down below to see pictures, as we can't post them directly on HNHH). The Barbadian singer wore a black minidress with a zebra-print jacket, lots of diamond jewelry, blonde braids, and even a diamond flower clip for her hair. It's never a surprise when she stuns with her fashion choices and sense of style, but it's always a treat for fans who seek to up their fit game.
Furthermore, all this diamond embellishment makes a whole lot of sense right now, as Rihanna recently became the female artist with the most Diamond-certified singles in the RIAA's history. She celebrated the occasion with a congratulatory post from Roc Nation as "Work," "Umbrella," "Stay," and "Needed Me" all passed the threshold this week. It's an amazing achievement and one that really speaks to these hits' staying power, relevance, and resonance. RiRi's other Diamond hits obviously include "Diamonds," as well as "We Found Love" and "Love The Way You Lie."

However, all these accolades do have fans pondering on a long-asked, desperate, and highly anticipated question: when will Rihanna's next Diamond hit come out? Fans have been asking for the long-awaited ninth solo studio album for over eight years now, and while there have been a lot of teases and promises, they are still empty-handed. Regardless of the wait, more recent hints indicate that it might land sooner than we think. But at this point, it's all just a guessing game.
Meanwhile, Rihanna is just as prone to pushing her own sense of fashion and style as she is to developing her status as an entrepreneur and businesswoman in that field. For example, she continues to seek new models for Savage x Fenty and did a lot of press as of late to push her brands forward. It's a very exciting time with a lot of family, friends, opportunities, and events, although it's strayed a bit away from why we fell in love with this career in the first place. But that could all turn around with R9, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
