As a joint fashion person household, my living room has been the scene of many a hot sartorial debate. One of the longest-standing disputes centers around the merit of faux snakeskin. I'm very much pro, grabbing it every time I see it on store shelves. My partner, meanwhile, is anti—they think it's tacky and unpleasantly Millennial-coded. But, as of last night, Rihanna has finally settled the dispute over the rich-looking trend once and for all—and I'm happy to report that I was absolutely right.
On Wed., Feb. 5, the pop star stepped out in Los Angeles for a sushi dinner at A-list favorite Nobu—a spot that has played host to many iconic celebrity outfits over the years. Celebrating her cousin's birthday, Rihanna wore a look that was equal parts casual and impossibly chic. The hero of her ensemble was a caramel-colored, long-line car coat printed with an opulent snake print.
