RHASIDAT ADELEKE was rubbing shoulders with music megastar Rihanna at a glitzy fashion event in London this week. The nine-time Grammy winner was launching her new beauty product range at Oxford Street's famed Selfridges store. Sprint ace Adeleke was on the guestlist for the exclusive event and shared a series of stylish pics of her own from the evening out.
Her photo album drew as much praise from followers as a Rihanna one typically would. Among them, Irish relay teammate Sharlene Mawdsley announced: "Yep, she slayed." Cork camogie star Ashling Thompson and Virgin Media presenter Katja Mia also heaped praise on her stunning look.
Similarly, another follower posted: "Actual supermodel." While someone else wrote: "Such a natural beauty! You got it from your mama." Since her dual fourth place finishes at the Olympics, Adeleke has primarily been back training at her team's base at the University of Texas .
She was in Belgium last week as she capped off her season with a third-place at a Diamond League meet. The 22-year-old originally came fourth once again but was bumped up in the placings after Salwa Eid Naser was disqualified for a lane infringement. The Dubliner clocked a time of 50.
96, well outside her national record set in June's National Athletics Championships . Olympic champion Marileidy Paulino powered into the lead around the final bend to win in a time of 49.45.
The USA's Alexis Holmes came second after running an impressive final straight to clock a time of 50.32. .
