Rihanna ascended from the Super Bowl LVII stage on an illuminated floating platform. She wore a monochromatic red look that had us all in awe. She began to perform twelve of her most iconic songs including “Umbrella” and “Run This Town.” The music and overall performance were one for the books and we cannot help but give another 10 out of 10 rating to the look she wore on Sunday night.
As many of us already know, Rihanna is not a stranger to pulling off stylish and iconic looks. In November 2021, we saw Rihanna out and about in New York wearing flared jeans and a plain black top. She paired the look with a Kermit green waistcoat by Marina Moscone and contrasting neon green Savage x Fenty gloves. In 2019, the singer won an award at the CFDA fashion awards in a refreshing minty Fenty getup.
The Look
Even though the Super Bowl was only two days ago, Rihanna’s outfit is already making strides everywhere on social media. It ran right at the top of her best looks. There are many layers that completed the outfit. The base included a vibrant red silk jersey catsuit paired with a Loewe flight suit overtop in the same crimson hue. To cinch in the bust area while shaping the noticeable baby bump, a short sculpted leather Loewe corset was also paired. The streetwear aesthetic to which Rihanna is accustomed the look was complete with red MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon sneakers. Rihanna and her styling team did not stop there. Closing out the performance, the singer added a dramatically brilliant red custom Alaïa coat with matching gloves.
The garment was a tribute to the late André Leon Talley, a pivotal fashion journalist who wore a similar Norma Kamali coat. Rihanna and André were close friends, so the coat was a nod to their relationship. Where accessories are concerned, the singer did not disappoint. Rihanna wore a handful of statement diamond brooches from Joseph Saidian & Sons pinned to the flight suit. She also wore Messika Jewelry diamond earrings. If you watched the performance, you probably noticed the self-promo moment Rihanna took. She touched up her beauty look with none other than her own Fenty beauty line. Her claws were also dripped in bold red to bring it all home. While many might not have been completely satisfied with her entire performance, I think it can be agreed that her look for the night gave us everything we needed and more.
