Rihanna has done it again. The fashion icon has officially declared that ripped tights are no longer a wardrobe malfunction—they’re a lifestyle.
Stepping out for a sizzling date night with her equally stylish partner, A$AP Rocky, on Saturday (December 7), Rihanna graced Art Basel weekend in Miami Beach with a look that screamed, “Yes, these tights are ripped, and yes, I’m better than you.”
The 36-year-old singer-slash-entrepreneur-slash-fashion-goddess rocked a skin-tight strapless dress paired with pantaboots. Wait, what are pantaboots, you ask? Imagine tights and boots got together, had a fabulous child, and then that child decided to party too hard and got artistically ripped. Voilà, pantaboots! They gave off the vibe that Rihanna was just out here casually reinventing what it means to wear ripped stockings.
And because one jaw-dropping outfit per weekend simply isn’t enough for Bad Gal RiRi, she was later spotted in jeans that weren’t just jeans—they were an optical illusion. Buttons running up the sides? Completely undone. What lies beneath? Sweatpants. That’s right. Sweatpants. Rihanna has officially turned “I didn’t finish getting dressed” into a high-fashion statement.
For the curious fashion nerds out there: Rihanna’s slay-worthy outfit included a Maison Margiela dress and Balenciaga pantaboots. In other words, your rent for six months is currently sashaying around South Beach on Rihanna’s legs.
Rihanna has proved yet again that she could wear a potato sack and have us all Googling, “Potato sack couture—where to buy?” So, cheers to ripped tights, undone jeans, and whatever wild trend she graces us with next.
