Today, Rihanna exudes a golden aura that’s both timeless and contemporary. With her long honey-caramel hair adorned with face-framing layers, she accentuates her striking features like cheekbones and the famed cupid’s bow. Her neck is graced by strands of champagne pearls—a nod to the exquisite John Galliano necklace for Dior from the 2000s.

Iconic Setting: The Hall of Mirrors

Encased within Versailles’s legendary Hall of Mirrors, Rihanna radiates in a resplendent shimmery aura. It’s an apt backdrop for this momentous occasion—Rihanna is now the face and muse of Dior’s beloved J’adore fragrance.

The Personal Connection to J’adore

Rihanna, affectionately known as Ri in her inner circle, has always held a special place for J’adore. “My mother worked in a perfume shop,” she shares. “She would bring home the J’adore testers when they were almost empty. There was always a bottle in the house.” This scent is more than just a fragrance; it’s a family treasure.

Introducing L’Or de J’Adore

The latest iteration, L’Or de J’adore, crafted by the talented Francis Kurkdjian, evokes “sunshine hitting the curve of a shoulder” amidst a blooming park with notes of jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and violet.

Rihanna’s Enduring Relationship with Dior

As Dior’s first Black ambassador and an enduring style icon, Rihanna’s connection to the brand is profound. Her presence at the Couture Week for Dior couture spring 2024 reignited speculations of collaboration, marking her triumphant return.

A Captivating Campaign

Shot by longtime friend Steven Klein at Versailles, the campaign captures Rihanna in a setting that’s both historic and breathtaking. “Versailles is enchanting,” she remarks. “It embodies so much history and French luxury.” The J’adore campaign continues a legacy begun with luminaries like Carmen Kass and Charlize Theron.

The Essence of the J’Adore Woman

Rihanna describes the J’adore woman as “beautiful, strong, sexy, and resilient”—qualities that perfectly align with the allure of gold. “J’adore is closely connected to gold,” she says. “Nowhere else in the world could you be surrounded by as much gold as Versailles.”
