Rihanna wears a Vetements shearling coat, Vetements turtleneck, black leggings, and Chanel boots on Jan. 18, 2016 in Paris, France.
Rumors are back on about Rihanna allegedly spending some one-on-one time with eternal Oscar nom Leonardo DiCaprio—but for now, let’s just focus on the insanely cozy winter lewk she sported on Monday, shall we? The pop star went out for d?ner in Paris wearing a shearling-lined leather coat and oversized gray turtleneck sweater, both by Vetements. She kept things simple on the bottom in a pair of black leggings and matching OTK Chanel boots—proving, once and for all, that leggings most definitely CAN be pants. Well, as long as you’re Ri-Ri, anyway. (Photo: AKMGSI)
Rihanna wears a peacoat, culotte jumpsuit, socks, pumps, and baseball cap on Jan. 7, 2016 in New York City.
Rihanna loves making a statement with her footwear, and her most recent appearance was no exception. The super star was seen out and about in New York sporting a classy navy peacoat-and-culottes look, accessorized with a “dad hat” (i.e, a baseball cap) and some pointy white pumps and matching ankle socks. Though heels and socks is a look used frequently in editorial, it’s not often we see someone actually trying it out IRL. Though naturally, if someone’s going to be bold enough to pull it off, it’s Rihanna. (PS—her “I Came to Break Hearts” cap is by Nasaseasons.) (Photo: Getty)

Fashion month may be officially over, but there’s no slowing down Rihanna. The singer showed up at the MAMA Gallery in LA on Wednesday to unveil the album art for her upcoming album, “ANTI.” Created by Israeli Artist Roy Nachum, the artwork includes a photo of Rihanna as a small child. But Rih dressed decidedly adult for the occasion, wearing a skimpy black mini slip dress, chunky choker, hoop earrings, minimalist sandal heels, and a silky floor-length robe. The whole thing had a very pajama-feel to it. She finished off the look with her hair half-up in knots and black lipstick.

Rihanna in a thrift store dress and Versace necklace.
Talk about high low. Rihanna stepped out in Manhattan wearing a dress that could have possibly been plucked from a bin at a thrift store. The ankle-length green floral frock most likely was discarded from the set of “Seinfeld” and somehow made its way into the pop star’s closet. She paired the the muumuu with white slip-on sneakers, a turquoise bucket backpack, and a green choker with Versace wrapped around her neck.

Rihanna gets comfy at the airport
Rihanna has the best airport style out of all the celebrities. This is not an opinion but a fact. It’s clear that her number one concern while traveling is comfort, which is there the oversized coats (that double as blankets), practical carry-ons, and super comfy sneakers come into play. She just gets it right, every time.
Rihanna proves that pants don’t matter.
Rihanna’s redefined a wardrobe staple of many young women: the going out shirt. On Monday, she partied in Los Angeles wearing a t-shirt printed with Catwoman sucking on a lollipop. And that’s about it! She did wear a handful of necklaces and some strappy sandals, but the bottom line is the new going out shirt doesn’t need pants in da club.

You know those signs that say, “No shirt, no shoes, no service?” They aren’t hanging in the window of New York’s Da Silvano, because it’s kind of assumed that you’re wearing those things on 6th Avenue. But not if you’re Rihanna! Who needs a shirt when you have abs like that?
Rihanna wears a top and sweatpants by Puma on May 17, 2015 in New York City.

In a powder blue Moschino jacket and matching shorts, Rihanna was ready for Spring—and ready to relive her epic April Fool’s Day pranking of Jimmy Kimmel.
Rihanna in sweats.
As usual, the singer elevates her sweats with accessories. “It all started in dance rehearsal,” she told Vogue of this wardrobe staple. “When you’re on tour, you go to rehearse wearing sweats and sneaks. Then you practice your song in the heels you are going to wear that night. I realized, Wow, that looks cool!”
Rihanna in a Raf Simons coat.
Rihanna attended a bash at Opening Ceremony in NYC in a Raf Simons jacket from his Fall 2015 Menswear collection, boots by Dior and a bucket hat designed by her best friend, Melissa Forde.

To promote her movie Home, she made a demure cardigan and ankle socks look decidedly daring. “She’s bold. She’s not afraid of fashion. She doesn’t let fashion overcome her,” Selman once told WWD. “She embraces it and makes everything she puts on her own. Not many people do that.”
Rihanna in Moschino
“I have a job that requires quite a lot of glam,” she told Bazaar. Her colorblock sequin, fur-trimmed Moschino coat (worn to a fashion industry party) more than fit the bill. She was also (it would appear) naked underneath.

Rihanna in denim on denim.
It probably took her, oh, four, five seconds to throw this look together for a night out in NYC. But when your closet is brimming with Louis Vuitton and enough on-trend denim to rival a Barney’s Jeans Bar, even your most casual ensembles make a style statement.
For someone who’s naked as often as Rihanna, it’s no small feat to be so groundbreakingly stylish. The CFDA wasn’t kidding when it named her Fashion Icon of the Year in June 2014; she accepted the honor by showing up in this.
While we’ve watched her every move for a decade, that moment was a game changer—and she’s stepped up her style ever since. Nowadays, whether she’s working emerald fur Versace, a “cake dress” that actually looks delectable, or not much at all, “The way I dress just depends on how I feel,” she says. “I never have to psych myself up. Usually it just feels like it works.”
