Rihanna has always been more of a trendsetter than a trend follower. She was wearing athletic jerseys long before street style became mainstream, and her longtime love of fur coats and accessories is at least a decade older than the Mob Wives aesthetic. She has an almost supernatural sense of what is cool.

But on Thursday, October 24, the pop star met friends for an Italian dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica wearing multiple Fall 2024 trends. Rihanna's look consisted primarily of a hooded gray knit maxi dress with a long silver zipper running down the center; the “Diamonds” singer left the sweater dress partially zipped, revealing a wide open neckline and upper thighs. Underneath the loose knit, some skin peeked out, along with the outline of her black thong panties, subtly demonstrating the naked dressing trend. (We are still waiting for confirmation on the designer of this cozy frock, but in the meantime Nanushka offers an equally dramatic zippered option)

Next, the Grammy winner matched her glossy burgundy lipstick with a burgundy Bottega Veneta intrecciato clutch bag, one of this season's top colors. Bottega Veneta, along with Gucci, is creating a burgundy wave on the Spring 2024 runway. If we were forced to guess which Fenty Beauty product she's wearing on her lips, it would be either the Fraunty Anti-Semi-matte Lipstick or the Hot Chocolit Gloss Brom Stick.

Never one to skimp on accessories, the self-proclaimed soccer mom of two finished off her outfit with a gold Marie Lichtenberg shoulder blade necklace, Saint Laurent cat eye sunglasses, and black leather over-the-knee boots. The exact pair of thigh-high boots she is wearing has not yet been identified, but similar styles can be found at Stuart Weitzman and Steve Madden.

The outing is a direct follow-up to Rihanna's recent appearance at Shanghai Fashion Week, where she was spotted wearing matching PUMA sneakers with longtime partner A$AP Rocky. A$AP was nowhere to be seen Thursday night, but when it comes to Rihanna, he is never far away.
