It's a complete cliché but there's pretty much only one adjective to describe Rihanna: badass. Every single thing she wears looks slick, sexy, and covetable, even if anyone else would look completely weird in it. Let's take a moment to breathe deeply and face it: Rihanna would make a clothes hanger the most fashionable thing on the planet instantaneously.

Her latest endeavor in "badassery" is the teddy bear coat. Famed as a luxe, soft, and elegant piece and worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian to death, Rihanna completely subverted the outerwear to make it a bit more down to earth, even if it is expensive. She teamed it gold jewelry, a grey T-shirt, jeans with the ankles folded up and holes at the knees and lace boots. She was attending the Miguel Cotto vs Canelo Alvarez fight in New York City last night withTravis Scott, her "sort of boyfriend, but maybe boo thing."
