Rihanna Does the Canadian Tuxedo the Rihanna Way

When it comes to styling denim, no one comes close to Rihanna: denim-on-denim-on-denim is a Rih Rih calling card. And with the pop star and beauty mogul still hanging around New York to support her partner A$AP Rocky as he promotes his latest album, Don’t be Dumb, she’s perfected winter styling in the city.

Stepping out for the Amazon Music Presents A$AP Rocky Songline Live event, and later, date night at El Puerto Seafood, Rihanna wore a zip-up denim bomber jacket with a furry cream scarf and cuffed straight-leg denim jeans. To style up the Canadian tuxedo, Rih employed those familiar signature details: pointy leopard print stilettos, layered silver belts. and reddish-lensed, goggle-like sunglasses. Glam was also on point, with a dark pencil-lined and glossed brick red lip and smoky brown eyes finished with a thin feline liner flick. Her long brunette hair was Olsen-tuckified into her scarf.

Rocky, for his part, was just as stylish and weather-appropriate opted for a camo print puffer jacket layered over a khaki hoodie and graphic t-shirt layered over a longsleeve white shirt, a gargantuan silver religious figure pendant, a fluro green and pink beanie, bleached jeans, and brown sneakers.

It’s been a busy few days for the couple in NYC. This weekend, Rocky was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, so Rih and Rocky made the after-party their very own date night. Rihanna found her best high-low rhythm in a Yankees baseball cap and sporty Saint Laurent track jacket, and furry Prada coat. Rocky, meanwhile ensconced himself in a busy-printed Chanel coat straight from Matthieu Blazy’s most recent subway-set runway. Rihanna continued to support Rocky throughout the past week, opting for a Saint Laurent slip dress (with some Savage Fenty lingerie peeking through, because ever the business woman) one night, and a 2016 coded blazer-and-leggings combo (by way of Vaquera and Balenciaga) the next.

There are few trends and pieces that Rihanna cannot pull off (if any), and she really does love taking a moment for Canadian tuxedo—that’s a denim jacket up top, and classic straight-leg jeans on the bottom—but will always style it out with her signature style codes. Denim-on-denim, done the Rihanna way, usually incorporates a saucy pair of snakeskin boots and bold framed specs. She makes the fit feel cool and nonchalant, naturally, rather than yeehaw.
