Thursday night (Dec 11), Rihanna hosted the first annual Diamond Ball in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The ball will benefit The Clara Lionel Foundation, which she founded in 2012 and works to improve the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health, education, arts, and culture.
“Feel so lucky to have an evening like this, to spend with people with hearts like mine, who want to change and save lives at any cost!” RiRi tweeted before the event. “There’s so much to do, and I can’t do it all by myself, so I have to thank all of the supporters of and people who donated to #TheClaraLionelFoundation Looking forward to seeing you later this evening.”
During the night, Rih donned two Zac Posen ball gowns.
In attendance was Tyrese, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ne-yo, Big Sean – who also performed – and Brad Pitt who introduced her just before her musical performance.
Backed with an orchestra, Rih performed “Diamonds,” “Stay,” “Where Have You Been,” “Umbrella” and yep … “Pour It Up.” (Check out the PIU snippet below. Epic.)
It’s rumored that prior to the auction even beginning, the ball had raised $1.5 million just on table fees alone.
