On Saturday night, Rihanna brought her distinct sense of style to the Coachella music festival.
The singer, 36, dazzled at the star-studded event in California while sporting a funky fur coat and thigh-high boots.
She paired the beige fur with a blue tattered hoodie and a thigh-skimming black leather skirt.
Rihanna wore dark shades and a variety of colored and silver necklaces as accessories.
She attended Tyler, the Creator’s show, which included her lover A$AP Rocky as the featured act.
She chose a classic spectacular makeup look, finishing with a glossy lip, and had her curly blonde hair pulled up.
Her public appearance follows the news that she has “a lot of visual ideas” for a new record.
After her latest album, Anti, came out in January 2016, fans had been eagerly expecting her ninth studio album for the past eight years.
The mother of two has stated that she now has a lot of original ideas but no songs to go along with them, so it appears the wait will continue.
“I have a lot of visual ideas,” she remarked in an interview with Interview Magazine. It’s peculiar. Right now my brain is operating in reverse.
The pinup said, “Usually, the music comes first and gets me into all these visual opportunities. Now that I’m having all these visuals, I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time.”
The cover girl remarked, “Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make.”
When asked what further inspired her new songs, she replied, “Quirky ideas, random ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all.”
I mean, I’m not sure. Opps is observing.
Not so long ago, the actress expressed her excitement ‘for what is to come,’ asserting that the upcoming album will be akin to a rebirth.
‘I’m in a period of discovery,’ Rihanna stated to Complex. Perhaps it’s rediscovery as well, given how quickly things are changing and how much is lost. And there are still some things we don’t know? And in the center of it all is myself.
Even though I haven’t landed yet, I can already feel what’s coming, so I’m looking forward to it.
However, I find it difficult to express, even though I know the voyage there will be enjoyable. And it applies to everything, including music, not simply my everyday activities or my wardrobe! Right now, I’m quite eager to explore new things.
November 2020 marked the first confirmation of Rihanna and A$AP’s relationship, following their earlier collaborations and sightings at events, including Paris Fashion Week in 2018.
“They have always had amazing chemistry, and Rihanna relates to A$AP, and it [their relationship] feels natural, easy, and fun,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight at the time.
Because they have known each other for such a long time and because his father is from Barbados, she feels quite at ease and connected to him.
The couple’s first kid, a son named RZA Athelaston Mayers, was born in May 2022, a few years later.
August 2023 saw the birth of Riot Rose Mayers, their second son, following the singer’s pregnancy announcement during her Super Bowl halftime show the same year.
