There are few trends and pieces that Rihanna cannot pull off (if any). The superstar will double up on wild animal prints as though they're neutrals, or effortlessly wear a big fuzzy chapeau like it’s an ordinary baseball cap. That’s simply the Riri effect: She can make even the most daring fashion seem totally wearable. Her latest styling win? The singer and business mogul was spotted out in Los Angeles last night with A$AP Rocky, doubled up on denim.
Her approach to the Canadian Tuxedo—that’s a denim jacket up top, and classic straight-leg jeans on the bottom—was totally on point for the winter, thanks to the addition of an oversized leather trench coat. It’s all very The Matrix—if Trinity was in tune with the latest runway trends. Rihanna's accessories—a saucy pair of snakeskin boots and bold framed specs—added to the look: they felt cool and nonchalant way, giving hints of country-western style in a non-cheesy way.

Call us crazy, but there is something special about donning a Canadian Tuxedo versus a full on two-piece suit. (Though Rocky, by her side, went all-in on traditional tailoring and looked great.) Rihanna makes a strong case for dressing casual for date night. Why be stuffy, when you can just pile on the jeans? Should you want to try the look, consider the Riri approach and pair your denim pieces with elevated accessories: you’re going for high-fashion, not hoedown.
