Last night, Rihanna once again turned the sidewalk outside of Giorgio Baldi into her own personal runway. The Fenty founder enjoyed a mom’s night out at the Santa Monica stalwart, where she added her patently stylish take on classic fall fashion. Rih wore a gray loose-knit sweater dress from Acne Studios.
But don’t expect any Christian Girl Autumn aesthetics here. The singer and entrepreneur opted for a chunky wool knit maxi dress complete with a hoodie and a two-way asymmetrical zipper. While one could theoretically cocoon themself in the cozy dress, Rihanna went for a sexier interpretation, unzipping it to reveal some cleavage and show off her black leather thigh-high boots.
Rih’s entire outfit is a masterclass in proportion. She leaned into the oversized accessories, carrying a burgundy Bottega Veneta bag under her arm (which matched her lip color), and added a pair of enormous square Saint Laurent sunglasses and a large gold pendant. Between the sumptuous knitwear and her intrecciato woven Bottega bag, as well as her outsized accessory choices, Rihanna is issuing an ever important reminder that even the simplest outfit doesn’t have to be boring.
Fall favorites like the classic sweater dress can always be elevated with the help of texture and proportions..
