‘Who’s This DIVA’? Kolhapur Artist Recreates Rihanna’s Look And Stuns The Internet
Kolhapur artist Sonali stuns the internet by flawlessly recreating Rihanna’s iconic Jamnagar look. Her viral Instagram transformation has viewers doing double takes.
In a world where celebrity-inspired makeup looks flood social media, only a few manage to stand out. Some get close, others fall short—but every now and then, someone absolutely nails it. This time, the internet wasn’t set abuzz by a Hollywood MUA or a luxury stylist, but by a homegrown talent from Kolhapur.
It all started when Rihanna, the queen of cool herself, arrived at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s lavish pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar. Her presence turned heads, and the global media couldn’t get enough of the star-studded affair. But Rihanna’s entrance? That became a moment.
Among the many captivated by her look was Sonali, a mehendi and makeup artist from Kolhapur. Inspired and determined, she set out to recreate Rihanna’s stunning appearance—and ended up creating a viral sensation.
She posted her transformation on Instagram, and within hours, the video exploded. People were left blinking in disbelief. Could someone really pull off Rihanna’s iconic look perfectly? Turns out, yes. Yes, she could.

Sonali’s attention to detail was impeccable. She started with green-brown contact lenses to match Rihanna’s gaze, then moved on to brow gel and a spot-on concealer routine, which she carefully explained to her viewers.
She chose soft browns, cool greys, black, and green eyeshadows to mimic the smoky, ethereal eye makeup Rihanna flaunted. Each layer was applied with precision and purpose—kajal for depth, under-eye cream for brightness, and powder for that flawless set. Her bronzer and blush choices were on point, and she used a dark-brown lip crayon topped with gloss to seal the deal.

When she finally revealed her look side-by-side with Rihanna’s, viewers had their jaws dropped on the floor. In a digital age where imitation is common, Sonali’s transformation stood out for its artistry, authenticity, and sheer skill. She’s now not only won over the internet but also put Kolhapur’s beauty scene on the global map.
