The mob wife trend has been dominating celebrity street style since the term was first coined earlier this year, with stars constantly rolling out their best animal-print pieces and fur coats. This past weekend, Rihanna stepped out in Los Angeles wearing her very own cheetah-print coat. But make no mistake: Her outfit was more rock star than mob wife.
The Grammy winner and Fenty founder layered the long shaggy cheetah-print outerwear from Bottega Veneta over a Metallica T-shirt from the heavy metal band’s … And Justice for All era. She leaned into the metal theme with the rest of her outfit, opting for two standout pieces from the Attico: baggy black snap-button jeans that she wore torn apart below the knee, and a pair of black knee-high combat boots with a slouchy leather overlay panel.
To accessorize, Rihanna added bold black Gucci sunglasses, a chunky gold-chain Gucci necklace, and diamond-encrusted earring cuffs by Emily P. Wheeler.

Rihanna has demonstrated an affinity for dark leather over the past few months. She was recently spotted on a night out in Los Angeles, in a black maxi jersey dress with a mock turtleneck layered underneath a distressed black leather jacket that featured dramatic cape sleeves and a unique ruched drop waist.
In another street-style sighting in February, she looked fabulously cool in a long shearling-lined black leather coat from Junya Watanabe’s Fall/Winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection. The piece featured croc-embossed panels, lace-up details across the sleeves, and unique silver buttons down the center.

Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
