'I'm actually just keeping it real simple this year,' Rihanna told the outlet as she was at a promotional event for her Fenty Beauty line in Los Angeles.
She added: 'Very simple... I think it's gonna come to what my makeup and what my hair is going to do. We wanna play with that, but I have no idea what I'm gonna do with that.'
The Don’t Stop the Music singer said her ensemble would be 'very simple-ish... compared to everything [she's] ever done.'
She added, 'I'm showing up for dinner! Shout out to Anna Wintour.'
