Rihanna Revamps Parisian It Girl Style in Custom Givenchy Leather

Rihanna made a stylish statement during her recent trip to Paris, embracing her signature Parisian It Girl style. On January 22, she stepped out wearing a custom Givenchy ensemble, designed by Sarah Burton. This choice highlights her ongoing relationship with the brand, which she has supported for over a decade.

Details of the Outfit

Joined by A$AP Rocky after his performance at the Gala Des Pièces Jaune charity concert, Rihanna showcased a black leather outfit consisting of:

A black leather shirt
A matching wrap skirt
A knitted bodysuit underneath

This look drew inspiration from Burton’s first two collections for Givenchy: the long-sleeve button-down from Fall 2025 and the skirt reminiscent of Look 28 from Spring 2026. The ensemble echoed Rihanna’s signature shirt dress style, a silhouette she popularized in 2016.

Accessorizing the Look

Rihanna accessorized with a woven Bottega Veneta clutch and elegant stiletto sandals. The oversized Givenchy top allowed her to highlight her décolletage with a stunning multi-strand diamond necklace. The necklace featured mismatched pear-shaped diamonds, complementing her statement drop earrings.

Long-Awaited Return to Givenchy

This appearance marked Rihanna’s first official engagement with Sarah Burton’s Givenchy line. She hadn’t worn the brand publicly since January 2024, following Matthew Williams’ departure as creative director. Rihanna’s absence from Givenchy presentations spans 12 years, making her potentially eager for a front-row invitation to future shows.
