AceShowbiz - Rihanna was stunning at the second annual Diamond Ball which was held on Thursday, December 10 at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California. She was glowing in a metallic gown by Dior which was paired with color coordinated high heels.
She completed her look with minimal accessories, including diamond necklace and earrings. Her long raven hair was slicked back. The 27-year-old singer made it a family affair by bringing along her mother Monica Braithwaite, father Ronald Fenty, her aunt and niece Majesty.
Kylie Jenner also stole the spotlight at the event, hitting the red carpet in a bridal-inspired gown with a long train. The mermaid style dress that clung to her body accentuated her pert derriere. Her boyfriend Tyga was also spotted at the event, but she chose to pose with singer Justine Skye instead.
Zendaya Coleman and Jada Pinkett Smith were other stars who looked gorgeous in white. The latter was joined by husband Will Smith. Emily Ratajkowski, meanwhile, showed off her toned leg in a black ensemble with a thigh-high slit.
The annual gala was hosted to benefit Clara Lionel Foundation, which Rihanna founded in 2012 in honor of her grandparents, Clara and Lionel Brathwaite. The organization works to improve the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health, education, arts and culture.
That night, RiRi helped raise over $3 million. Her manager Jay Brown won the auction for a replica of her Dior dress at $45,000. "It's overwhelming to see so many of the people that I care about come together to support a cause that is near and dear to my heart," she told PEOPLE about the event.
Comedian/actor Kevin Hart hosted the event, while Lionel Richie delivered a musical performance.
