Rihanna Channels Her Inner Vixen in Skintight Pantaboots and a Tulle Corset

Thank God—Rihanna’s street style is back and better than ever.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have naturally kept a low-profile since welcoming their second child this past summer, but her absence has left a notable void in the A-list street-style scene. Now, for the rapper’s 35th birthday, the duo has at last ventured out to remind the world they’re still the most fashionable couple in Hollywood.

The two were photographed en route to New York’s Carbone, a celebrity hot spot and one of the city’s most coveted restaurants.

For the rare date night, the “Love on the Brain” singer looked fabulous in a pair of black, skintight pantaboots. She paired the statement bottoms with a statement top, which included a frilly black tulle corset with a pointed-V hemline and a cropped black Cecilie Bahnsen bomber jacket with a huge bow tied at the back. She accessorized with a sparkling diamond tennis necklace, large silver hoop earrings by Jennifer FIsher, and oversize black sunglasses.

Rocky held his own next to his stylish partner, turning out in a head-to-toe Bottega Veneta outfit. The birthday boy wore a light gray crewneck sweater over a white collared top with a gray tie. He layered with a boxy blazer covered in brown and tan plaid, and finished off the look with baggy light-wash jeans and shiny black boots. To accessorize, he carried a large bubblegum-pink woven tote bag and wore dozens of pearl-studded barrettes in his hair.

Rihanna gave birth to their second son, a boy named Riot Rose, in August. They recently shared the first family photos of their new addition alongside their firstborn, son RZA Athelston.

As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
