Between Album of the Year upsets, impᴀssioned tribute performances, and onstage goddess ceremonies, last night’s Grammy Awards was a maelstrom of emotion, to say the very least. But Rihanna, who spent much of the night sipping casually from a bedazzled flask, looked like a woman unbothered. Despite losing out in all six categories for which her critically acclaimed Anti album was nominated, the singer took the evening in her stride, arriving fashionably late in custom Armani Privé and then making a grand entrance at her own Grammys after-party in a sheer pink boudoir-inspired Marc Jacobs frock.
Layering nothing but a pair of dainty panties underneath the thigh-skimming baby doll look, Rihanna moved cheekily through her party in a cloud of cotton candy–colored ruffles. It seemed that no matter the outcome of the awards show, she was still fully in possession of her cool, accessorizing with a winning gold choker and an all-knowing smile.
