Rihanna has once again proven her status as a fashion icon, effortlessly transitioning from a “ludicrously capacious” accessory to a teeny-tiny purse while maintaining her signature big-boss energy. On November 11, the 36-year-old singer was spotted enjoying dinner at the upscale Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, showcasing a striking ensemble that highlighted her unique style.
For this outing, Rihanna opted for wide-leg jeans and comfortable footwear, yet she elevated her look with a glamorous champagne-colored satin corset—a piece she first debuted during New York Fashion Week. Complementing her outfit, she donned a luxurious long fur coat, oversized rectangular sunglasses, and layered necklaces that accentuated her shoulder-length curls.
The star’s accessory of choice was a miniature Louis Vuitton purse crafted from denim, featuring double handles as well as a shoulder strap. Priced at $2,230, this petite bag is adorned with gold hardware, a zip closure, and natural cowhide trim. The contrasting size of this purse compared to the oversized Saint Laurent Niki handbag she carried just two months prior highlights Rihanna’s versatility in fashion choices.
In September, Rihanna had turned heads while sporting the massive shearling Saint Laurent bag, which retails for an impressive $7,200. During that outing in Santa Monica, she wore the enormous accessory as a crossbody bag that nearly concealed her light-wash jeans. The look was completed with a simple white button-down shirt and eye-catching animal print knee-high boots. The Niki bag is made of lambskin and features two compartments with a large flat pocket and bronze-toned chain shoulder straps.
Rihanna’s fashion evolution has included bold choices like wearing a leopard-print onesie to another dinner at Giorgio Baldi on October 30. This particular outfit featured the Forever Savage Hooded Onesie from her Savage X Fenty line, retailing for $95. The onesie is made from super-soft fleece and boasts an oversized hood along with side pockets. Rihanna styled it with strappy silver heels and an oversized maroon handbag, proving her ability to blend comfort with high-fashion flair.
On the same day she donned the onesie, Rihanna shared heartwarming photos on Instagram featuring herself and her two sons—RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 14 months—who were also dressed in matching Forever Savage Onesies. The trio posed playfully on a bed adorned with animal-print sheets.
As Rihanna continues to make headlines with her fashion choices and personal life updates, fans eagerly anticipate what she will wear next. Her ability to navigate between extravagant statement pieces and minimalist accessories showcases her prowess as a style chameleon in the ever-evolving world of fashion.
