Rihanna’s Bold Fashion Statement: A Playful Twist on Personal Goals
In a spirited display of confidence and style, Rihanna was spotted strutting through the bustling streets of New York City, merging fashion with a cheeky sense of humor. The multifaceted star, who is now 36, playfully lifted her skirt to reveal a bold black thong, a statement that captured the attention of onlookers and social media alike.
In a lively video shared on her Instagram, Rihanna candidly addressed her fitness goals, humorously admitting that achieving her desired summer ‘six pack’ was off the table for this season. Instead, she declared a playful shift in focus: “Since I clearly won’t be achieving my six pack til next summer, I switched my summer goal to matching my shoes to my panties,” she quipped in her caption.
Rihanna showcased an edgy yet preppy aesthetic, combining an oversized, partially buttoned Oxford shirt that delicately hinted at her black bra with a classic brown pleated tennis skirt. Her ensemble was thoughtfully accessorized with striking glasses, layered necklaces, an intricate ankle bracelet, and a chic mini bag, all complemented by her stylish mullet hairstyle. The ensemble seamlessly integrated her undergarments and footwear, a testament to her ability to blend playful chic with urban style.
Earlier this month, she enlisted the help of her partner, A$AP Rocky, to showcase her latest venture—the Classics by Savage X Fenty men’s underwear campaign. The couple’s two-year-old son, RZA, was a notable presence, though the family’s newest addition, Baby Riot, who arrived in August 2023, was absent from the campaign.
Rihanna and Rocky, who have been a couple since 2019, are renowned for their distinctive style. Recently, Rihanna was seen front row at the A$AP Rocky X American Sabotage by AWGE Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week, where her enthusiasm for fashion was palpable.
In a conversation with Entertainment Tonight back in April, Rihanna shared her insights into nurturing her sons’ fashion sense, crediting A$AP Rocky as her style inspiration. “When I dress them, I always try to dress them like Rocky,” she revealed, adding a personal touch to her parenting approach.
Moreover, Rihanna provided an intriguing update on the much-anticipated follow-up to her last album, often referred to by fans as R9. In a light-hearted moment, she addressed recent speculation about her retirement from music, stating, “People got triggered with that retired word. They were like ‘We’re never getting an album now.’ No one read the other line… It was something about, ‘This is as dressed up as I get.'”
Fans can rest assured, as Rihanna has committed to returning to the studio, sharing her artistic journey: “I think that music, for me, is a new discovery. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start—give me a second!”
As Rihanna continues to evolve her style and artistic endeavors, her playful personality shines brightly amidst the sparkle of celebrity life. The anticipation for her new music remains high, and with each style statement and social media post, she effortlessly captures the essence of modern celebrity culture.
