Rihanna has once again proven that being supportive and stylish is a full-time job. The Fenty billionaire casually strolled into a Los Angeles courthouse on Friday (January 31), rocking an almost all-black ensemble—because nothing says “court chic” like dressing for the drama.
The 36-year-old mogul has been playing the role of the ultimate ride-or-die as her partner, A$AP Rocky, continues his assault trial. And let’s be real, if anyone can make sitting through a legal battle look effortlessly cool, it’s Rihanna.
For those who haven’t been keeping up, Rocky is facing accusations of shooting his former friend A$AP Relli back in 2021. A year later, he was hit with two charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, to which he said, “Not guilty, Your Honor.” Fast forward to 2023, and a judge decided, “Yeah, let’s go ahead and take this to trial.”
Inside the courtroom, things got spicy as Rocky’s lawyer went head-to-head with A$AP Relli during cross-examination. Meanwhile, Rihanna made her entrance fashionably late—because, obviously, a queen arrives when she pleases. She slipped into the courtroom 30 minutes into the testimony and sat next to Rocky’s mom, because nothing brings family together like a legal battle.
After the lunch break (yes, court has lunch breaks—justice runs on snacks), Rihanna and Rocky walked in together. But in classic mysterious-celebrity fashion, they left separately. Maybe they wanted to keep the paparazzi guessing, or maybe one of them forgot where they parked.
As she exited, a reporter dared to ask the billionaire beauty mogul how she was doing. Rihanna, never one for unnecessary drama, simply said, “I’m good, thank you.” Translation? Mind your business, but also, thanks for asking.
