The Fenty founder, 36, modelled a string of designer looks including a black Mugler leather coat from the brand’s pre-fall 2024 collection, a Dries van Noten skirt and jacket combo and a Balenciaga bustier with Mark Gong baggy jeans and a leather blazer. But it was the singer's striking red polo-neck dress that got everyone's attention. The outfit featured a shiny top and a maxi skirt made of drapes of red fabric with a daring thigh-high slit.
She paired the look with long leather gloves and matching high heels. Fashionistas and fans were quick to point out that the star, who also donned a blonde wig, was showing off her version of Spears' early 2000s red Latex catsuit from her Oops!..
. I Did It Again music video. The seeming nod to Spears’ now legendary ensemble for the hit track’s video took the look to a high fashion level.
It was described by one of British Vogue's fashion editors, Alex Kessler, as Rihanna's "haute couture" take "which makes it "front-row-worthy for Paris Fashion Week". Rihanna showcased this during a recent visit to Shanghai , China where she was promoting her brand Fenty Beauty. The star, who hasn't put out a new album in six years as she focuses on her make-up and lingerie brands, shared the images on her Instagram page.
