We can’t refresh our Instagrams fast enough to follow Rihanna on her world tour and the OTT getups she packs in her suitcase. As if there was any doubt that RiRi is one of the most stylish women on the planet, she recently starred in A$AP Rocky’s video for “Fashion Killa,” a song about a girl who “ball until she fall, that means she shop ’til she drop.”
While RiRi takes the term “fashion chameleon” to the next level, there is one item she never leaves home without: her swagger. Whether you choose Sexy Rihanna, Tomboy Rihanna, Goth Rihanna or all of the above for your costume, you’d better make sure you’ve got the attitude to match. From safety-pin jewellery to bodycon minis, here’s how to get your own Rihanna look this Halloween.
There’s no easier way to go RIH 4 LIFE (or at least one night) than with the Rihanna for River Island collection. This camo varsity jacket is classic RiRi: Borrowed from the boys with a sexy twist.

SUNGLASSES
When she’s not walking the red carpet, Rihanna is rarely seen without a killer pair of shades. These Karen Walker sunnies offer optimal coverage from the prying paparazzi with a touch of metallic bling.
Remember when Rihanna wore blue lipstick during London Fashion Week? It may not be our favourite lip look sported by the Bajan beauty (that would be her signature M.A.C “RiRi Woo” red) but it’s undeniably Rihanna in its statement-making brashness.

LEATHER MINI SKIRT
Rihanna is unapologetic about showing off her seriously toned bod. Flaunt your tush in a leather mini skirt worthy of cameo in Pretty Woman.
While in South Africa earlier this month, Rihanna spent time canoodling with giraffes and jungle cats in a pair of over-the-knee boots. Will you find your own tiger in this wearable black pair?
