Pop superstar Rihanna arrived in Shanghai, China to promote her make-up brand, Fenty Beauty.

The billionaire beauty mogul attended the private pop-up event as excited fans cheered gave her a warm welcome on May 20.

Addressing the crowd, Rihanna said: 'Fenty Beauty in mainland China will always be because of your support, so thank you so much. I could not wait to come here for all of you.

'Fenty Beauty has been a passion of mine for so many years and I've always enjoyed the emotional connection that first-time customers have had to the brand...

'Coming to China again, this is beautiful for me just to see all your unique faces and personalities.'

Launched in 2017, Rihanna's make-up company, Fenty Beauty, which is named after her own surname, expanded into China via a partnership with multi-national beauty retailer Sephora in April.

The brand had previously earned praise for its inclusivity across different skin tones.
