Rihanna Rocks Leopard Print at Melissa Forde’s Birthday Bash

Nobody is more excited for the leopard print revival than Rihanna.

Last night, the singer and entrepreneur hit her friend Melissa Forde’s birthday party at The Nice Guy in style. Over a pair of sheer black tights, Rihanna wore an ultra-mini leopard print dress. The dress featured black cups poking out at the top to maximize the bombshell effect. But never one to do something halfway, Rih went full-throttle with the animal print-heavy. She wore a flowing leopard print robe, which she left open, its long train trailing behind her. As if that wasn’t luxe enough, the outer layer also featured a black shearling collar and cuffs. Consider it 2024’s answer to the Marabou robe.

Rihanna’s accessories were just as impressive as the rest of her awe-inspiring outfit. She wore a pair of oversized Tom Ford aviators with chunky tortoiseshell frames and yellow lenses. The Fenty founder also flexed her purse: a limited edition Louis Vuitton monogrammed satchel bag made of fur. (One recently sold on 1stdibs for $3,825.) To top it all off, she layered on a heap of silver and diamond necklaces and wore an oversized ring on her finger.

This isn’t the first time Rihanna has gone all in on a trend this week. On Tuesday, she just about settled the pantless trend debate, wearing a pair of Balenciaga fishnet pantaboots that made it appear as though she was going sans bottoms.

We could all stand to take a page from Rihanna’s book when it comes to fashion. If you’re going to try out a new look, you’d better commit!
