Rihanna thoroughly enjoyed attending the Paris Fashion Week shows in March 2014, and her appearance at the Miu Miu fashion presentation was no exception.

The Barbadian singer, songwriter, and actress turned heads as she arrived in a vibrant, chic, and cozy Prada ensemble.

Her sharp Cleopatra bob, dark cat-eye sunglasses, multiple ear cuffs, and sleek, black-clad legs perfectly embodied her signature diva vibe.

Rihanna chose the following brown chevron-striped sweater dress and black-red-and-yellow shearling coat from the Prada Fall 2014 collection:

We think going for the “older sister” Prada was a wise choice for Rihanna because, honestly, we don’t think Miu Miu’s quirky designs match her fierce personality.

However, we were disappointed when the singer decided to cap off her Prada ensemble with Manolo Blahnik’s “Chaos” sandals. We understand they’re her favorite go-to sandals, but, sigh, what a combo breaker.

Rihanna’s collaboration with Manolo Blahnik has produced some of the most memorable footwear moments in recent fashion history. Her ‘Dangerous Denim’ collection, featuring the iconic ‘9 to 5’ chap boots, seamlessly blends urban edge with high fashion.

The ‘So Stoned’ collection is equally captivating, renowned for its crystal-embellished sandals that exude luxury and elegance. Rihanna’s personal style also reflects her affinity for Manolo Blahnik, as seen when she paired the classic ‘Chaos’ ankle-strap sandals with a chic little black dress, effortlessly combining simplicity with sophistication.

Rihanna’s Manolo Blahnik “Chaos” sandals are a timeless classic that elevate any outfit with their minimalist design and elegant stiletto heel. These iconic heels, known for their sleek ankle strap and versatile style, are available at luxury retailers like Farfetch and Nordstrom, making them a coveted addition to any wardrobe.

We wish RiRi fully committed to the look and wore these retro-futuristic wedges from the same Prada collection:

We’re sure Miu Miu or Prada wouldn’t have minded! What about you? Do you think Rihanna should have worn the complete Prada look to the Miu Miu show, or are you okay with her outfit?

Rihanna’s fashion journey is a testament to her versatility and fearless approach to style. From her ethereal appearance in a feathered pink Prada dress at the ‘Valerian’ Paris premiere to her chic beach ensemble featuring a white crochet midi skirt and Miu Miu sandals in Poland, she consistently showcases her ability to blend luxury fashion with personal flair.

Her attendance at the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2014 runway presentation during Paris Fashion Week further cements her status as a fashion icon, effortlessly merging high-end brands into her unique aesthetic.

Additionally, her edgy street-chic outfit alongside A$AP Rocky during Paris Fashion Week showcases her versatility in fashion.

Rihanna’s love for Prada isn’t just limited to Fashion Week. She has embraced the brand’s bold aesthetic across various moments in her career, including the launch of her debut fragrance, Reb’l Fleur, at Macy’s in February 2011. For the occasion, she chose another head-turning Prada ensemble, proving that the label’s designs can be just as impactful off the runway.

Inspired by her “rebelle fleur” neck tattoo, the name means rebel flower in French. Her perfume features sophisticated floral notes, including tuberose, violet, and hibiscus, with a splash of coconut water.

“My grandmother in Barbados used to call me her Rebel Flower,” the “What’s My Name?” singer revealed.

“Over the years, I layered many different scents to get something that was truly my own,” Ri added about her new fragrance that you can buy on Amazon.

“But I wanted…something that said ‘Rihanna was here.’ Something delicious and special, a fragrance with subtle hints that linger and leave a sexy memory.”

Ri-Ri showed some skin with a metallic cropped top for the launch, which she paired with an equally shimmering printed mini skirt. She capped off her look with a pair of nude platform pumps from Prada.

What do you think of this look? Stunning, right? Rihanna strikes the perfect balance between bold and elegant, proving that a cropped top can be effortlessly chic rather than over-the-top.

If you’re inspired to recreate this style, the key is strategic proportions. Opt for a high-waisted skirt that sits just above your belly button to achieve a sleek, sophisticated silhouette—flattering without feeling overly revealing.
