Rihanna Dresses Cozy and Classic to Solo Dine at Her Favorite Restaurant

Rihanna stays faithful to her favorites, from the Housewives (RHONY’s Jenna Lyons), to fashion (Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Alaïa), and gargantuan headgear. That’s also true of restaurants, as a frequent patron of Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California—somewhere she’s been said to eat up to three times a week, and allegedly never straying from ordering the classics like ravioli with ricotta cheese, gnocchi, and spaghetti pomodoro with basil.
The Italian establishment, visited by a broad spectrum of celebrities from Taylor Swift to Tom Hanks and Kim Kardashian, reopened its doors again this week following the Palisades fire which forced its closure in January.Of course, the ANTI singer was going to turn out and support, even solo. The walk from Mercedes to Giorgio Baldi’s cloistered front door has become something of a runway for Rhianna over the years. This evening was no different, with Rhianna opting for a cozy, classic look. She wore an oversized black and navy wool coat, with pointed black boots and a 1990s-era Fendi Zucca mini bag with a furry tail charm sourced by one of the singer’s go-to vintage dealers, Archive Vintage. Rhi also wore her hair in an effortlessly chic slickback ponytail.
The charm-adorned Fendi was the focal point of the look—one of many from the Italian label in her arsenal of bags. Often, she’ll be seen toting some ultra-rare archive versions and the classic Baguette in an array of colors.
