Although it can be challenging to replicate Rihanna’s avant-garde red-carpet style, her date night outfits are quite simple because she usually wears more relatable and approachable clothing when she goes out with A$AP Rocky, her baby daddy.
Take, for instance, her latest outfit from a night out in Los Angeles with the rapper, who was recognized this month with the Cultural Innovator Award and Collaboration of the Year Award with Puma.
Rihanna wore an LBD, a wardrobe staple appropriate for a romantic evening. And with the holidays approaching, she opted for something a little more festive. She was also spotted dressing more casually for another date night with her family, wearing sneakers and a striped jacket and pants set.

LBD for a Romantic and Festive Date Night
Rihanna typically chooses sensual and sexy outfits for her date night with A$AP Rocky. And her most recent night out ensemble was just that—sexy with a dash of romance and festive flair.
I love how RiRi’s black dress accentuates her curves to the fullest. The style is relatively modest, with long sleeves and ruching along the middle that adds texture and draws attention to her hourglass figure.
The thick fur adorning the high collar and cuffs gives this ankle-length dress a festive and striking appearance, while the sheer panels along the shoulders and sleeves provide an air of romance.
She purchased the dress from Magda Butrym, a Warsaw-based fashion designer known for redefining craftsmanship and taking romance in fashion to a new level, as shown in Rihanna’s dress.
The dress appears pricey, and Rihanna added even more value to it. Though it is 30% less at Mytheresa—from $3,120 to $2,184—it’s still a lot!
Like a plain white outfit, a monochromatic black ensemble can also serve as an excellent base for accessorizing. I appreciate how Rihanna added sparkles to her head-to-toe black look with a dramatic pair of earrings, a diamond anklet, and statement rings.
Her vibrant red lipstick and glittering silver eyeshadow also added a splash of vibrancy to the ensemble.

Rihanna used a black East-West purse, which gained popularity in the 1990s, to hold her essentials for a date night. It’s a fantastic option for daily use, in my opinion, because of its practicality and easy silhouette!
Her Alaia “Le Teckel” shoulder bag is finished with elongated straps and a two-way zip closure. It’s made in Italy from luxurious leather and retails for $2,450 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Enhancing the look’s elegance, RiRi slipped her white-pedicured feet into Tom Ford’s all-time celebrity-favorite heels.
She wore the “Padlock” sandals in sleek black leather with the iconic padlock charm dangling from the ankle strap for a head-turning day or night look. They have open pointed toes and are grounded on a 4-inch metallic gold stiletto heel.
These Tom Ford sandals are available for $773 at Farfetch.

In contrast to his baby mama’s all-black outfit, A$AP Rocky chose to wear his signature cool look, which combines several different styles.
He went for business casual, with a pinstripe shirt worn underneath a khaki puffy vest and a yellow-and-black graphic necktie. He paired the look with light-wash straight-leg jeans, brown boots, and a light blue tote bag.

Rihanna’s Striped Bottega Veneta Set for a Family Date Night
The day before, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky brought their youngest son, Riot Rose, along for their date night. The trio went the casual route as they stopped by CVS for some shopping.
Rihanna, as expected, brought her fashion A-game, wearing a striped set from Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. She donned the Engineer Stripe Straight-Leg Cotton Drill Pants ($1,150 at Nordstrom) with a long-sleeved button-up cotton jacket ($3,900 at FWRD) that was cinched at the waist and partially unbuttoned to add edge and show a hint of cleavage.
Not one to shy away from mixing and matching different patterns, Rihanna teamed the striped outfit with a patterned silk scarf and animal-print shoes. I find wearing various prints and patterns challenging, but RiRi pulls it off easily, giving the ensemble a stylish and unique appearance. This merely demonstrates her confidence and readiness to challenge fashion norms.

This isn’t quite your typical date-night outfit, but it’s a comfortable and practical option because she’s with her kid.
Her shoes are from the Fenty x Puma collection, which dropped in February. She wore the latest version of the “Avanti” sneakers, now covered in spotted pony hair. The sneakers retain most of the original style’s features, including the sleek silhouette and foldover tongue bearing the Fenty x Puma logo.
Her black Yankees cap, diamond earrings, and a few rings rounded out her cool and casual look.

A$AP Rocky, meanwhile, was more laid back in his light gray Stussy jacket and jeans. It seemed like he had forgotten his shoes at home and was only wearing red-and-white-striped socks, but upon closer look, those were actually shoes.
