Rihanna has long made her penchant for pink clear. Take one of her best maternity looks ever, a spring summer 2001 Issey Miyake dress made from semi-sheer pleats in a gradient of sorbet tones with a shoulder-engulfing neckline, and a breezy, pink-checked trapeze dress from Loewe. Now, stepping out with her sons to the Ball N Bounce Kids Playhouse in Los Angeles, Rih shows once again how to rep a playful pop of pink.
Photographed yesterday (October 26), Rihanna stepped out in a loose, black Fenty x Puma goalie jersey and black sweatpants, paired with candy pink Prada sneakers, and a matching, shiny pink banana. Casual and cute, perfect for the ballpit with those signature Rihanna accessories.
Rih’s dalliance with pink travels across the color’s spectrum, from candy tones, to muted neutrals, and splashes of neon, from pajamas to bump-baring hoodies, and jaw-dropping vintage. Even her announcement for the birth of her first daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, saw Rih and Rocki swathed in bright pink bows.
And while she forgoes the pop of red that fellow fashion setters from Katie Holmes to Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner love, Rih isn’t opposed to blue in her regular rotation. She hit the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in a cerulean cutout Alaïa number, celebrated the premiere of The Smurfs in baby blue custom Chanel, and bopped around town in an azure striped skirt set. Regardless of her choice of color, Rih proves time and time again that she’s fashion’s coolest mom.
Forget tomato girl summer—with Rihanna, it’s all about French rose fall.
