In July 2013, Rihanna returned to England for another leg of her Diamonds World Tour, performing at the Manchester Arena and the LG Arena while making stylish appearances around London.

RiRi wore a white bralette with a black leather suspender skirt by Gareth Pugh. She completed her look with a beanie, Lanvin sunglasses, chunky bracelets, and black sneakers.

For our favorite badgal, it’s all about choosing the right pieces, and her Gareth Pugh suspender skirt is a must-have. Rihanna was seen wearing the lambskin leather version of this piece, but if you’re a bit iffy with leather, you’re in for a treat because it’s also available in soft silk.

Just a few days later, Rihanna stepped out again in London, proving the year-round versatility of varsity jackets.

The other night, Rihanna stepped out with friends in London wearing her favorite top at the moment—a cropped top. She paired it with white pants and covered up with a varsity jacket.

This is a perfect example of how to use a varsity jacket to balance the sexiness of a look. Standing at 5ft 8in (172.7 cm), the Barbadian singer, songwriter, and actress elongated her already statuesque frame with sleek python sandals from Roberto Cavalli’s Spring 2013 collection, creating a chic, lengthening silhouette.

Her visible striped bra top is from her Rihanna for River Island collection.
