After missing the 2024 Met Gala, Rihanna is finally back on the street style radar. In the latest sighting, the Fenty mogul broke up her monotone outfit with a sparkling Chanel bag, turning New York into her own red carpet event.

On Thursday, May 9, the Anti singer was spotted leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan for a late night date with her boyfriend, Asap Rocky. On this occasion, she wore a silky black maxi slip dress. The city's humidity didn't stop Lia from layering a long, fluffy dress styled with a black zip-up jacket with a hood over her honey blonde hair and a matching black fuzzy coat over it.

Fenty Mogul completed her look with pointed black kitten heels. For accessories, she chose gold diamond-studded chains and oval black sunglasses. Aside from her blonde hair, the "pop of color" was a $5,000 jumbo-sized Chanel flap bag. She slung a quilted purse over her shoulder.

Rihanna's off-the-peak appearance followed the last-minute cancellation of her appearance at this year's Met Gala, which she had been confirmed to attend under the theme of "The Garden of Time." Rihanna may have disappeared on fashion's "biggest" night because of the flu, but last week she showed us bits and pieces of her casual street style.

Last week, the "Umbrella" singer headed to the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in a bedazzled black sweatshirt. She added a motorcore spin to her loungewear look with an oversized leather jacket. Once again, Rihanna used her all-black outfit as a neutral canvas, dressing it up with bubblegum pink hair and matching Puma pink sneakers.

Lately, the multi-hyphenate has been keen to add a little color to her monochromatic "fit," whether it's a hairstyle, sneakers, or, in this case, a coveted handbag. Rihanna's next appearance is currently unknown, but it looks like she will be in New York for a while. Expect Rihanna to make up for her absence at the Met Gala in the near future with another surprise for her fans. Perhaps her next look will be the one she was supposed to wear on the big night." take a look.
