Barbados Names Rihanna a National Hero & She Wore This Stunning Burnt Orange Outfit With Manolo Blahnik Sandals for the Occasion

Rihanna had a big night in her home country of Barbados Monday evening as she mingled with Prince Charles and was honored with the title of “national hero” at the presidential inauguration ceremony in the capital, Bridgetown.

The event marks the island nation’s official removal of Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and the establishment of the island’s first-ever president, Dame Sandra Mason. The Caribbean country has been an English colony for almost 400 years. Ri Ri dressed to the nines in an elegant look for the special occasion.

“On behalf of a grateful nation, but an even prouder people, we therefore present to you the designee for national hero for Barbados, Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty,” said Prime Minister Mia Mottley. Referencing the singer’s hit song “Diamonds,” Mottley continued: “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions.”
