The Queen of Pop would be proud.
Rihanna stepped out in NYC this weekend for a dinner date at Carbone with A$AP Rocky, wearing a black satin cone bra ($650) and matching lace-up leggings ($990) from Jean Paul Gaultier’s collaboration with stylist Lotta Volkova.
Madonna naturally made Gaultier’s conical bustier a sensation in 1990, on her “Blond Ambition” tour, and has revisited the look countless times in the decades since.
The pointed piece also popped up in the past year with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Kylie Jenner.
“This look, this exaggeration of the breasts, is a really powerful silhouette,” Natalie Nudell, a fashion historian and adjunct instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, told Vidak For Congress Style in 2021 about the trend — adding that it’s no coincidence. is that stars like Cardi and Megan gravitate toward it because they “present themselves as extremely powerful women, using their bodies and their sexuality as a tool to do that.”
The 34-year-old Bad Gal, who certainly fits the same description, made the iconic style his own by styling it with a black leather trench coat, Dior saddle bag and The Attico heels ($603), yielding a look that was equivalent Madge and ‘The Matrix’.
Rocky, 33, wore a navy jacket and shorts by Raf Simons, along with a graphic tee, black and white brogues and dark sunglasses to match his girlfriend’s.
The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in May – and while she was pregnant, Rihanna wowed fans with her maternity style, with looks that ranged from rare Chanel vintage to completely pure Dior.
