Over the weekend, Rihanna jetted to Rio de Janeiro to perform at the 30th anniversary Rock In Rio music festival. Katy Perry, Rod Stewart, Sam Smith, One Republic, The Script and more also were onstage at the weeklong festival.
Leading up to her performance, Rihanna took to Instagram to thank fans for coming. “85,000 tickets in 57 minutes … blows my mind … thank you for traveling from all over Brazil and the world to make tonight so special for me!!!”
Rihanna isn’t heading home quite yet — she’s making her way to Chile for a concert there.
After her performance in Rio, Rihanna posted photos of herself wearing a custom Laquan Smith green mesh long-sleeve dress with her Rihanna x Puma white Creeper sneakers.

Last Friday, the Creeper style went live on Puma.com at 12:30 a.m. and sold out in hours. The sneakers were being offered in three color ways — black and white, beige and black with a gum sole. The Creeper style is an update on the Puma Suede style and was created by Rihanna in collaboration with menswear brand Mr. Completely.
The campaign stars Rihanna and rapper Travi$ Scott. Prior to the release, Rihanna teased the collection by wearing the shoes around New York all summer. The sneakers were available for pre-sale earlier this month online, where they sold out in three hours, and at a New York pop-up shop.
The sneakers may still be available at select retailers, and more releases are to come through November 2016.
