What Does Rihanna Love More Than Making Music? Furry Hats

Rih has a history with a furry headpiece. For the Fashion Awards in December, she wore a sculptural Christian Lacroix fall 2002 couture minidress in a sky blue fuzz with an enormous matching hat in what was the standout look of the evening. The Fenty founder also keeps a cast of British milliner Emma Brewin’s hats in her arsenal: she’s worn Brewin’s Pistachio and light pink Blossom bucket hats on various occasions for a variety of vibes, paired with blue jeans and sneakers and dressed up in archive Dior dresses. Prior to the 2023 Met Gala honoring Karl Lagerfeld, Rihanna went full monochrome maximalist and wore a striking custom snow-white faux fur and black ostrich feathered domed hat by London designer Benny Andallo with big Chanel logo glasses. Another ginormous hat by Andallo was paired with feathered Tom Ford SS99 jeans for a casual day out shopping.

The Oscar De La Renta fur hat has kept pride of place in Rihanna’s wardrobe, as she’s been spotted out and about wearing it before—the last time was a chic affair in Santa Monica, with a neck-down Aläia look comprising a fur-armed silk bomber jacket and blue jeans with her fave shoe designer Amina Muaddi’s croc pumps on her feet. A true lesson in animal textures.

We also know Rihanna has a love for partner A$AP Rocky’s wardrobe, which she showed off once again. She’s worn the Bottega Veneta boots on a few occasions in New York—the same pair Rocky wore in a 2023 campaign for the label the pair both love. The entire silhouette and plays with texture is a Rihanna-Rocky love affair.

And after that glamorous, speedy trip to Target, Rihanna headed to the Girls Love Karaoke event in NYC, where she sang “Needed Me” and “Sex With Me” from her last album, 2016’s ANTI. She told attendees she had five minutes before her “battery” was “about to burn out”. Quite relatable, at the end of the intense festive season.
