Does anyone throw a party quite like Rihanna? Even at Coachella, when pool parties and late-night raves can overshadow much of the festival itself (okay, except for Beyoncé), the singer still knows how to make a splash—and in this case, literally. On Saturday afternoon—a prime time for weekend festivities—Rihanna hosted a pool party for her Fenty Puma brand. Dubbed FENTY x PUMA DRIPPIN, the bash was not your average pool party, though. Yes, there were inflatable slides, burgers, and plenty of margaritas. But there was also a full ATV field, where partygoers could live out their wildest motocross fantasies. Presiding over the shenanigans was Riri herself, of course, clad in head-to-toe Fenty. Also at the event were The Weeknd, Timothée Chalamet, Teyana Taylor, and A$AP Rocky. Here, go inside the exclusive Coachella event.
