OUCH! RiRi’s Upcoming Event In Dubai Has Drawn Sharp Criticism From Residents

Avatar

Our prayers have been answered.

Rihanna is making her way to Dubai this September – and it’s to talk about all things beauty.

(Cue the fangirl screaming, please)

BUT … there’s a catch.

Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Artistry and Beauty Talk will cost you a whopping AED5,500 – and that’s just the starting price

The VIP front row seats – which gets you access to the VIP after party – will set you back AED7,500.

Yes, you read that right.

The site mentions that the money will go towards the organization Dubai Cares to support its work in developing countries

Regardless, Dubai residents were NOT pleased about the event’s hefty price tag – and didn’t hold back their thoughts on social media.

Wrong currency, maybe?

This user wondered if payment plans were available

This Twitter user suggested a way around the pricey ticket

But there were some who thought the price was justified too

Tell us: Would you fork out AED5,500 for RiRi’s makeup class?
