Nikita Kering thrills as Rihanna's Fenty Beauty launched in Kenya

Kenya's top influencers, media personalities, celebrities, makeup stars, screen sirens and Instagram heavyweights on Thursday trooped to the Social House in honor of celebrated Bajan singer Rihanna's Fenty Beauty soft launch that was peppered with all things glam, gorgeous, lush and posh.

The stars started arriving at 7pm, as the red carpet lit up with a flurry of activities, cameras flashing, bodies popping and champagne flowing.

The event, which lasted till way past midnight, attracted some of the biggest names in the Kenyan media circles including Janet Mbugua, Makena Njeri, Kendi Christine, Noni Muchiri, and Annette Gitau.

Other notable names included reality and documentary TV producer Eugene Mbugua as well as online content creators Crazy Kennar and Esther Kazungu.

Kenyan beauty icon Suzie Wokabi and a host of Instagram stars including Stephu Mulinge, Maureen Bandari, Yasmeen Saiedi, Joy Kendi, Shiksha Arora, and Lornzie Gatabaki were also some of the most known faces in the glitzy crowd.

The event, that saw all the guests gifted with luscious Fenty Beauty hampers, was also graced by sultry singer Nikita Kering who put on a sizzling show as the guests feverishly fawned over her.

Dressed in a tiny newspaper-themed dress and black designer thigh-high boots, Nikita threw down a powerhouse performance topping it up with her smash hit 'Ex'.

Musicians Fena Gitu and Kagwe Mungai also showed up in the star-studded beauty affair.

Dubbed the "Fenty Club", the event was to 'celebrate the launch of Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in Kenya'. 

The Social House gathering was also a strictly exclusive event that was not meant to be shared on social media and only the invitee would be admitted entrance. 

Fenty Beauty is officially launching in Kenya - and Africa at large – on Friday night with yet another glitzy, all-star affair at the Junction Mall.

Lintons Beauty founder Dr. Joyce Gikunda, dressed in an ostentatious Gele (Nigerian-style headwrap) and a flowing dark blue dress, also made an appearance and gave a speech too.

Lintons Beauty will be the official - and exclusive - Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin store in Kenya.
