Rihanna has always been that girl – and her recent street-style interview with AJ, The Mystery Fashionist, reminds us why.
In the middle of celebrating the holidays with family in New York City – where her hubby A$AP Rocky is from – the Bajan beauty stopped to dish on fashion, personal style, and even her “ghetto” side. The viral moment gave us an unfiltered glimpse of the superstar, and we can’t stop obsessing over her vibe.
We have the sudden urge to go shopping with the “Umbrella” singer and grab a cocktail or two.
Rihanna wears vintage Christian Dior while enjoying NYC for the holidays.
Bundled up against the Big Apple’s winter chill, Rihanna was effortlessly cool as she laughed and joked with AJ during the impromptu chat. When asked to rate her outfit, she didn’t hesitate to give herself a perfect 10.
“It’s sturdy, so I’m gonna give it a 10,” Rihanna started.
Breaking down her look, she said, “I personally love it. It’s giving a little vintage Christian Dior, a little YSL pant boots, some belts, a hat, and my little Gucci fur bag.”
But leave it to RiRi for a high low moment, mixing luxury with downtown edge.
When AJ asked about her bandana, she casually dropped, “Oh, you know, that’s literally Canal Street,” before clarifying with a grin, “The chains aren’t Canal, though—they’re that weight.”

From Savage Fenty underwear to a rare Louis Vuitton speedy, Rihanna tell’s the ‘Mystery Fashionist’ about her fashion must-haves.
The brief convo wasn’t just about her outfit. Rihanna also gave us a peek into her wardrobe staples and thoughts on trends.
She listed her top five must-haves: “My New York—well, I can’t say fitted because I don’t like fitteds as much. My forehead is too big. But the ones with the snapback,” she joked. She also mentioned her love for “good fitted vintage jeans,” a rare edition “croc LV monogram bag,” and her go-to Savage X Fenty underwear.

AJ asked about fashion trends she regrets, and Rihanna was direct: “When I first started, and I was wearing the baggy jeans with the panties out—what the …was I thinking, bro? People still be doing that nowadays. That’s for them, though. I can’t wear it. For them, evolution—it’s called growth.”
