Rihanna has tested every animal print in the zoo, including leopard, zebra, her signature snakeskin, and tiger. This week—mere days after Marie Claire flagged tiger print as "a major 2026 fashion trend"—tiger print successfully preyed on RiRi's street style in back-to-back outfits.
Tiger stripes first reunited with her regular rotation on January 18, via $1,850 ankle-strap stilettos from Alaïa. 24 hours later, the same pony-hair Drop Pumps returned to New York City. The only difference? She traded her denim-on-denim Canadian tuxedo for a tiger-print take on "the outfit is the coat" theory.
