Call me boring, but I usually only wear my leggings when working out or running errands. I haven't been adventurous enough to try leggings for a night out, but Rihanna's latest look has fully convinced me to swap sneakers for heels and give it a try. 

Photographed at A$AP Rocky's birthday dinner in New York City, Rihanna wore Balenciaga's hybrid legging boots along with a Cecilie Bahnsen jacket and a frilly tulle top. A diamond choker and a smattering of earrings also elevated the look. I would never have thought to style leggings with a fancy top for a special occasion, but this Rihanna-fied way to wear them is wholly inspiring.

Side note: This marks Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's first public appearance sans kids since welcoming their second child last month. Congratulations to the new family of four! Scroll down to see the new photo and re-create Rihanna's outfit.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
