Like any fashion girl, Rihanna loves repping a team for both sport and style. It was all about that white, spray-painted bomber jacket and matching miniskirt from Mowalola's Fall/Winter 2023 collection. RiRi, never one to shy away from the avant-garde, plucked this look straight from the runway. But she didn't stop there, adding Loewe lambskin toy boots and a Dior Autumn/Winter 2003 bondage bag.

Rihanna doesn’t shy away from a fashion risk, and neither should you. Case in point these denim thigh-high boots which could almost pass for pants that she paired with a matching micro-mini skirt. Eagle-eyed fans may also notice her shirt features rapper RZA — whom she and ASAP Rocky named their first son after. (Rih’s mind — she hinted at it months before the official announcement!).

If there’s one thing we’ve learned today is that Rihanna loves a statement coat. Oh and that she’s superhuman? Like casually navigating sidewalk grates in stilettos. The singer also has a knack for mixing high and low pieces, allowing us mere mortals to recreate her looks. The base of this outfit is simple camo pants and a plain orange hoodie. However, the bright orange shearling coat and crystal Gucci x Balenciaga pumps elevates the entire look to high-fashion territory.
