*Rihanna’s “Ocean’s 8” co-stars are revealing how the superstar surprised them with gifts from her bestselling Fenty x Puma collection.
Mindy Kaling said RiRi would frequently have shoes and apparel waiting for them, and it was always exciting to see what they’d be treated to next.
“She’s just shy and incredibly stylish and sweet,” Mindy told NBC’s “Today” show. “Like, I’d go to my trailer and you remember the sneakers, the creepers that she made for Puma, that completely sold out? You’d go to your trailer and they’d be another gift from Rihanna’s line; it was like Christmas every morning”
“You’d go to thank her and she’s so shy and sweet and you want to throw your arms around her, and she’d have her security guards who’d say, ‘Please don’t touch Miss Fenty!’” Kaling joked.
Sharing her personal style picks with Kaling and their co-stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina wasn’t the only way Rihanna was able to bond with the group – she also unwittingly gave new mom Hathaway a big confidence boost.
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which aired on Thursday, Anne revealed she was overjoyed to hear Bullock and Blanchett say she was “looking good” in a pair of jeans, but it was a remark from Rihanna which really got her excited.
“Rihanna looks up and goes, ‘Damn girl, you got an a**!’,” Anne recalled. “And I, of course ,was freaked out and loved it so much and go, ‘Really?’ And she goes, ‘You got an a** like me.’ And I can honestly say I’ve never had that experience on a film set before.”
