Rihanna’s Paris Fashion Week Skirt Suit Is Exactly What You Came For

How about a round of applause for Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week?

The “Take a Bow” singer put on quite the show when she stepped out for the Matières Fécales runway presentation Sept. 28, rocking a waist-cinching, gold skirt suit featuring tinseled embellishments that shimmered with every step she took.

Rihanna completed the Cecile Feilchenfeldt-knitted number with a black bustier, matching patent leather heels by Christian Louboutin and a gold choker necklace.

The following day, the 38-year-old brought the drama again—this time to the Dior fashion show. Letting her nearly 100-carats worth of diamond jewelry from Chopard do the talking, Rihanna donned an oversized black coat and lace cami as she sat front row.

Of course, Rihanna is no stranger to Paris Fashion Week. In fact, she was showing off her pregnancy fashion last year when she and longtime partner A$AP Rockycaught the AWGE menswear show.

At the time, the couple—who share kidsRZA, 4, Riot, 3, and Rocki, 12 months—turned it into a bigger family affair by bringing along their youngest son.

As for how her personal sense of style has changed since becoming a mom?

“I’ve done so much s–t in my life. I’ve had my nipples out, my panties out,” Rihanna told British Vogue in 2024. “But now, those are the things which, I guess as a mom and an evolved young lady—emphasis on young—there are things I feel like I would never do. Like, ‘Oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?'”

Especially since the nine-time Grammy winner would much rather spend her time playing with her kids than picking out her outfit.

“I feel like getting dressed is a fight on its own [now],” she explained to Harper’s Bazaar in 2025. “Everything is so…logical. What makes sense? What’s easy? What’s fast? I try not to overthink all that stuff, but you’re leaving the house. It kind of stops you from going out.”

“How much energy do I have to put into getting ready? Doing my makeup, doing my hair, and then going to the closet and figuring out which three things in this entire room make sense together? You go through a fog,” she continued. “And fashion is so much fun, and I miss the fun.”
