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.

This is my dream going-out top.
This one's a winner.
I'm in love with this embroidery.
Cecilie Bahnsen is one of my favorite Danish designers.
The lace detail on this top is so special.
Zara never gets it wrong.
Another Scandi brand I love.
Hurry: This won't be on sale forever.
Another stunning option from Zara.
