Rihanna marked her triumphant return to the Dior front row with an ensemble only she could pull off: a skirt suit styled with a hat that made me do a double take. The Grammy winner—who also happens to be the brand’s first Black ambassador—stepped out in the daring look for the French fashion house’s spring-summer 2024 haute couture runway show.
This outfit is a rich text, so let’s process it line by line. Atop a calf-length pencil skirt, the Fenty mogul sported a puffy wrap coat that was cinched at the waist with a belt. Never afraid to walk the line between under- and over-accessorizing, Rihanna topped off the look with a pair of leather opera gloves, white ankle-strap pointed-toe pumps, a quilted Lady Dior bag, and a floppy black cap that sat somewhere between newsboy and baseball, designwise. The easiest way to Rihanna-fy your look, after all, is by throwing a hat on top of it. She finished the look with a diamond pendant, ear-climbing diamond earrings, and not one, but two sparkling anklets.

The unsung hero of this look, however, is her makeup. Specifically, I need you to pay attention to her lip combo, which appears to pair black lip liner with a glossy, blossom-pink lipstick applied in the center of her pout for a high-contrast effect.
