Rihanna Photo Feeding Cow With Dior Bag Fuels Online Dispute in India

The debate turns on a Dior listing that labels the model calfskin without proof about the exact bag she carried.

Overview

  • Rihanna was photographed in Mumbai feeding a cow at Antilia, the home of Mukesh Ambani, while holding a green Dior handbag.
  • Social media users accused her of hypocrisy for honoring a culturally revered animal while carrying a luxury item linked to leather.
  • The Indian Express reported that Dior’s website describes the bag model as calfskin and lists a price of about ₹4.3 lakh.
  • Reporters noted there is no independent confirmation that the specific bag she held used animal skin, and neither Rihanna nor Dior has issued a statement.
  • Some commenters defended her, pointing out that leather is common in high-end accessories and that her visit also included local rituals such as puja, aarti, and Phoolon Ki Holi.
