Before she was a mogul, Rihanna’s off-duty style was a masterclass in urban cool—a bold mix of street glam and a flash of fiery red hair.
To understand Rihanna’s fashion legacy, you have to look past the red carpets and rewind to her 2010 street style. On September 29, 2010, she was spotted heading into Da Silvano restaurant in New York City, serving a look that was both casual and meticulously composed. This wasn’t just a celebrity out for dinner; this was a statement.
In a moment that fused ancient drapery with modern swagger, Rihanna debuted a beautifully pleated look (a true sartorial surprise) for a New York dinner.
Rihanna has always had a preternatural ability to pull from the archives of style—to find a thread of history and weave it into something so now, so completely her own. A prime example? This off-duty look from August 19, 2010, at a restaurant in New York City. It wasn’t a red carpet, but she transformed a simple dinner into a fashion moment of decadent, historical flair.
Always one to embrace pure theatricality, Katy Perry debuted a crystal-encrusted bodysuit (a true pop confection) for her Today Show performance in 2010.
To watch Katy Perry’s performance on the Today Show on August 27, 2010, was to witness a pop star emerging from a shimmering, candy-colored daydream. It was a visual coup, a moment where the music and the fashion became one. She wasn’t just singing in New York City; she was creating a whole universe.
