Rihanna Tours Coco Chanel’s Apartment

Popular culture
6 June, 2013

When Rihanna hit Paris on the French leg of her Diamonds tour she got the chance to hang out in the iconic home of Coco Chanel. In true RiRi fashion, she took to Instagram to document the day, taking pictures all over the couch and steps that are so famous from Coco’s personal photographs.

Her tour of Coco Chanel’s apartment gives more credence to the rumour that the 25-year-old songstress just might have been tapped to front a new campaign for the iconic fashion house!

In a tweet on Wednesday, Rihana boasted of her legendary day in Paris.
