When Rihanna stepped out in New York City in an effortlessly cool fit this weekend, we couldn’t help but feel inspired. Sis didn’t just give us a style moment—she gave us a whole mood for New Year’s Eve 2024.
Is anyone else feeling a little less “New Year’s Eve-like” this year? Let’s be real—2024 has been a challenge for many. A casual NYE fit (or celebration) might be exactly what we need.
While Rihanna is no stranger to dressing down in style, this look hit different. RiRi’s casual yet intentional ensemble is everything we’re feeling: relaxed, unbothered, and perfectly cozy.

To elevate the look, the Bajan beauty mixed high and low accessories. She layered silver necklaces with a statement pendant and tied a dark navy bandana over her hair. A woven black mini bag and tan suede Bottega Veneta boots added texture to her relaxed, chic vibe.
Rihanna shined like the glam girl she is is in a luxurious fox fur. Nearly hitting her knees, the coat brought all the drama to her relaxed ensemble.
As we enter the new year, Rihanna’s look is a welcome reminder that sequins and stilettos aren’t the only ways to make a statement. There are plenty of ways to slay while staying casually chic.

If you’re still figuring out how to celebrate—like so many of us—here are a few Rihanna-inspired ways to dress and vibe for NYE:
The ‘Rihanna Bandana Bash’ Is For All The Baddies
Rihanna is obsessed with bandanas, and so are we. Why not bring this trend into 2025?
Trade the typical party hats for bold, patterned bandanas or scarves. Like the Dior ambassador, add an edge to your cozy fit with oversized outerwear and chunky boots.
Invite friends over for a bandana-themed hangout, or hit the streets and show off your effortless, cool-girl style.
Rihanna-Inspired Ultimate Cozy Chill Hangout At Home
Rihanna’s relaxed fit is peak inspiration for a low-key NYE with friends or solo vibes. Think oversized hoodies, baggy jeans, patterned PJs, or cozy knit sweats with comfy boots. And, don’t forget to throw in fur accessories!
Keep it simple with:
- Snacks: Set up a popcorn bar with fun toppings (sweet, savory, or spicy—you decide).
- Drinks: Sip champagne in mugs or whip up some spiked hot cocoa.
- Playlist: Rihanna’s greatest hits (of course) plus anthems from other Black women powerhouses to remind yourself who runs the world.
All About You: Cozy Self-Care NYE The Rihanna Way
Self-care is always in style, especially for NYE. Channel Rihanna’s fit as inspiration to treat yourself.
Slip into your comfiest clothes, try out skincare products or makeup from Fenty Beauty, and binge-watch your favorite shows with a glass of wine. Set your intentions for 2025 and sprinkle in a little glam to start the year feeling fabulous.
As we head into 2025, we are Rihanna – and her mood is us. Prioritize comfort, wear what makes you feel good, and add a little sparkle when you need it. Whether you’re staying in or stepping out, take notes from the bad gal herself: keep it effortless, chic, stylish, and own your vibe.
