Rihanna Is First Out The Gate With Balenciaga X Adidas

Rihanna rarely wore maternity looks during her pregnancy – fashion-forward styles from The Attico and Balenciaga were her only exceptions. Instead, Rih rocked belly-baring crop tops, bralettes and low-riser trousers, bringing a new kind of body positivity to bump dressing.

Following the birth of her son, Rihanna has sampled Balenciaga’s new-season pantaboots, from the brand’s collaboration with Adidas for autumn/winter 2022. The boots-cum-leggings are made from Demna’s signature shiny stretch satin, with Adidas’s trademark three-stripes down the sides and a reworked Balenciaga twist on the sportswear giant’s trefoil logo.

The singer wore her hybrid leggings with a track top to watch A$AP Rocky perform at Lollapalooza festival and, as ever, piled on the jewellery. Rih put a luxe spin on her sporty staples by layering several pearl costume necklaces over her windbreaker.

Last week, Rihanna was spotted in London at the Mexican Geniuses exhibition at Dock X in Canada Water, wearing comfy black trousers, a lace-trimmed top and Wales Bonner X Adidas trainers. And earlier in the month, she and A$AP made an unexpected visit to a barber shop in Crystal Palace.

Rihanna’s fashion outings are few and far between at the moment, but rest assured she’ll always deliver a talking-point look.
