Rihanna Trades Typical French-Girl Fashion for Leggings and Lace-Up Pumps

Rihanna wore the spring 2026 leggings trend with lace-up pumps in Paris.

Rihanna isn't your average Parisian tourist. She views French-girl fashion as merely a suggestion, not a rulebook. For a trip to the City of Light on April 21, she leaned into Parisian styling ever-so-slightly, offsetting her favorite leggings with a lace-up Alaïa It-shoe.

Rihanna needed an outfit that would withstand an entire six-hour reservation at César, so she went with the classics. First up? An oversize bomber jacket in light-gray canvas. Next, the Grammy winner made a case for spring fur with a slim black stole, draped below her shoulders and across her torso. Much like the chic cardigan or the high-vamp flats she's worn with leggings earlier this year, the stole elevated her split-hem leggings in an instant. Each pant-leg's slit flaunted the true star of Rihanna's outfit: her lace-up pumps.
