Rihanna’s $18,000 Prada shearling coat did exactly what a great winter coat should do: steal the entire moment. Spotted in New York City supporting A$AP Rocky during his Saturday Night Live appearance on January 17, Rihanna made cold-weather dressing look effortless in this unforgettable piece.
The Bajan princess wore a brand-new Prada shearling and cloth coat with a dramatic statement brown collar. It demanded attention before you noticed anything else. She layered the luxury piece over a casual track jacket, giving the look a high-low mix that felt easy and cool.
The contrast created an eye-catching silhouette that only Rih Rih could pull off.
Alongside the coat, Rihanna kept everything else sharp and simple. She wore a NYC fitted, a black pencil skirt, and Loewe’s New Comic boots in two-tone stretch lambskin and suede. The metallic donut ankle chain added edge and retails for $2,300. It’s moments like this that explain why Rihanna is a fashion icon.
There’s something about the way she puts it on that always feels fresh.
