Rihanna Gives This Fall Staple a Bad Gal Makeover

Rihanna has the ability to make even the most classic of pieces feel, well, very Riri. Whether it’s a simple pair of jeans or a chic LBD, the Fenty designer and singer will take a classic item and make it feel completely fresh and modern, thanks to her stellar choice of accessories. Last night in New York City, she did it yet again—this time putting her own stamp on a fall staple, the turtleneck.

Hitting the streets, Rihanna wore a sheer, long-sleeved knit turtleneck in teal, styling it with a leather mini skirt in the same color. (Both pieces by her own label, of course). To give it a current feel, she then carried a white Bottega Veneta pouch clutch, a trending bag for the season that was a major It item on the street style scene at New York Fashion Week. To finish off the ensemble, Rihanna slipped on her own strappy satin pumps—called the “Date Night” pump—for a sexier evening spin.

The takeaway: Her monochromatic approach, combined with a hot clutch of the moment and the perfect going-out shoes? The turtleneck has never looked so good.
