Freak L.A. rain or not, you can trust that Rihanna is going to turn a look—and nothing is stopping her getting to Giorgio Baldi for that ravioli, either.
The singer and beauty mogul headed out for dinner last night at her favorite red sauce joint in Santa Moncia, wearing the most Rihanna-ready, rain-appropriate ’fit. Rih opted for an all-black ensemble: a spiked puffer jacket with a fur hood, paired with a long leather maxi skirt, pointed black stilettos (come on, did you really expect a sensible shoe moment from Rihanna?) and huge, mask-like Balenciaga sunglasses. She wore her recently debuted bob up in a French twist.
Rihanna has gone all-in on her fall winter style, embracing leathers, suave tailoring, and cozy outerwear with that signature Rih aplomb. Earlier this week, she enjoyed a couples style moment with partner A$AP Rocky in coordinating, The Matrix-esque fits. Rih added a Gucci horsebit chain shoulder bag from her own personal archive that’s been enjoying its own renaissance in her recent bag rotation.
Even the most quotidian activity—like grabbing mid-week dinner or dodging the rain—is turned into a fashion extravaganza with Rihanna. And every dinner outing to Giorgio Baldi is a runway moment: whether that avant-garde, hip-padded Alaïa number, an elevated take on the Canadian tuxedo, or showing off the rest of that archival bag suite.
A sensible (ish?) jacket with statement-making details, rain-repellent leather, and a well-covered silhouette? Dressing for rainy weather can be tricky, but Rihanna shows us exactly how to do it without compromising personal style.
