Rihanna is the new queen of Dior.
On Sunday (Sept. 1), the 36-year-old singer and entrepreneur was unveiled as the face of J’Adore Fragrance by Dior in a dazzling short film directed by Steven Klein. She replaces longtime spokeswoman Charlize Theron.
“Powerful, dazzling, and inspiring, Rihanna embodies the triumphant and free-spirited femininity of J’adore through the lens of Steven Klein,” Dior’s YouTube caption reads. “J’adore and Rihanna, a new golden dream begins.”
Set to the tune of RiRi’s 2016 hit “Love on the Brain,” the minute-long visual finds the superstar gracing the halls of the Palace of Versailles in France and donning a gorgeous sparkly golden gown before seemingly walking on water in heels.
“Your dreams, make them real,” Rihanna says into the camera at the end of the short film.

Rihanna, who was announced as the face of J’Adore earlier this summer, has a long relationship with Dior. Apart from being spotted at several of the brand’s fashion shows, most recently during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year and during her first pregnancy, she became Dior’s first Black ambassador in 2015.
“For over two decades, the fragrance has been a brilliant and faithful companion for women the world over, the perfume of a strong, liberated and independent woman, resonating perfectly with Rihanna’s personal story,” LVMH, owner of Dior, said in a statement at the time.
“This scent, that I have known and loved for so long, means so much to women,” Rihanna said in the same press release. “It is more than a perfume, it is a companion and a reference. I am especially touched to join this adventure and to contribute to it through my world, my story, my roots, as well as my creativity and my own femininity.”
Dior’s marque women’s fragrance balances floral with fruity featuring fragrant notes of ylang-ylang, Turkish Damascus rose, jasmine grandiflorum and Indian jasmine sambac.

Not sure what perfume to wear? Sol De Janeiro has you covered (literally) with its viral body and hair spray that shoppers on TikTok are obsessed with. The Brazilian beauty brand known for its iconic Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has now came out with a perfume that has quickly earned just as much (if not more) praise. The perfume was so successful when it dropped, that it’s good that the brand made sure to offer it in more scents including caramel and vanilla, floral, beach-inspired and more.
It also gained star-approval with Euphoria actress Barbie Ferreira being tapped to help launch the addition back in May 2023.
This best-seller even comes with a wallet-friendly price under $50, which, compared to designer perfumes with $100+ price tags, is a total steal!
It’s available to shop on Amazon, Sephora, Revolve and Sol De Janeiro, so you can snag a bottle or two and add it into your beauty routine immediately.

Celebrity perfume used to be big business. Despite a decline in sales over the last several years, the business of celebrity fragrances could be bouncing back. Nowadays, it seems that every star has a signature scent — but it wasn’t always that way. In 1937, Mae West became one of the earliest — if not the first — star whose likeness inspired a perfume bottle. Decades later, Elizabeth Taylor blazed the trail for Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and other celebs who have built perfume empires.
