Model & Influencer Riona Dighe Celebrates Her 18th Birthday Against Singapore’s Glittering Skyline

Few cities frame a celebration quite like Singapore. With Marina Bay illuminated beyond the windows of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, international influencer, model and Miss Teen Universe Singapore Riona Dighe marked her 18th birthday with an intimate evening surrounded by family and close friends.

The setting reflected a distinctly modern approach to glamour. Cascading blush-toned florals softened the hotel’s contemporary interiors, while candlelit tables and a sculptural five-tier cake brought a sense of occasion to the waterfront celebration. Riona completed the evening carrying a Himalayan Lady Dior... one of the house’s most coveted collector’s pieces. 

The celebration was conceived by Singaporean luxury event-design studio Atelier V&A. Known for its expressive floral work, the studio transformed the space through layers of romantic blooms and refined contemporary details, allowing the city’s skyline to remain an essential part of the design. 

Riona is steadily establishing herself within the international fashion and pageantry landscape, moving between modeling, philanthropy and her role as Miss Teen Universe Singapore. For this milestone, however, the focus returned home. 

Set above the waters of Marina Bay, the evening became as much a portrait of Singapore as it was a birthday celebration: polished yet vibrant, globally minded yet deeply personal.  

Singapore, a city where fashion, architecture and hospitality meet with effortless precision. A city that is now represented by Riona as Miss Teen Universe Singapore 2026.
