Rihanna's Summer Style: Crisis of Pants in Paris and New York

other · 2026-07-12

Rihanna has been spotted making bold fashion choices in New York and Paris, particularly skipping pants for the summer. In New York City, she wore a loose gray fleece hoodie paired with charcoal leggings, a wide black belt with a silver buckle, black stilettos, and shield sunglasses, completing her look with a rare Louis Vuitton Fleur de Jais Speedy 30 bag, which recently sold for $2,420. In Paris, she exited the Four Seasons Hotel in a hooded jacket, black tee, sheer embroidered skirt, and black pointed boots, accessorized with oversized sunglasses and diamond jewelry. The Fenty entrepreneur is reviving leggings as chic wear, often teaming them with stylish bags and heels. She was also seen in a flowing maxi dress with A$AP Rocky, who wore layered shirts and Timberland boots.
