Rihanna’s image-building exercise goes wrong
Rihanna’s flash visit to Mumbai saw her gain a whole lot of fans, thanks to her friendly demeanour, but one incident has dented her image in the country. The singer was seen feeding a cow outside Antilia, the Ambani residence. Netizens immediately noticed the handbag she was carrying. According to designer-label experts, it was a luxury Dior Crunchy bag primarily made from calfskin leather.
Social media was immediately flooded with caustic comments. “She’s feeding her next bag,” wrote one user. “Hope the cow does not recognise its hide,” wrote another. Another commented, “Feed the cow, wear the cow.” “We worship in one place yet use products built on cruelty in another. Isn’t that mindless? Think. Align actions with values,” read another post, seeking for balance.
