Rihanna's Best Red Carpet Fashion Moments Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Rihanna matched with her partner, A$AP Rocky, in all denim looks to attend Pharrell Williams’ debut Louis Vuitton Men’s show in Paris, France. Her damier print jumpsuit perfectly showed off her growing baby bump, too.

Rihanna was red hot during her performance at the Super Bowl, wearing a custom look from Loewe comprised of a leather breastplate on top of a form-fitting, silk jersey catsuit with a matching flight suit on top. Pieter Mulier at Alaïa then provided some more layers to her look, designing a puffer scarf and blanket coat—both with built-in gloves—which Rihanna wore throughout her performance.

Once again, Rihanna and Rocky coordinated their looks, wearing the same gray hue to the premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Rihanna’s sequin-covered dress was courtesy of Rick Owens’ fall 2022 collection.
