#RHOSLC: Lisa Barlow Reacts After Ben Affleck Admits He Doesn't "Remember" Meeting Her
Lisa Barlow is going the distance over a recent celebrity encounter.
After the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star told her castmates she skipped a cast trip in order to attend a work event alongside Ben Affleck, the Oscar winner admitted his memory of the alleged encounter was a bit fuzzy.
“I don't want to get anybody in trouble,” he told Access Hollywood in an interview published Jan. 16. “I don't know what this is—an event in Salt Lake City?”
In fact, Ben, 53, couldn’t pinpoint the last time he visited the area.
“I haven't been in Utah in, I don't know, eight, nine, 10 years?” he admitted in response to seeing a photo of the reality star. “It doesn't look familiar to me and I don't remember anything, and I don’t want to embarrass her.”
But the Gone Girl actor insisted he wasn’t contradicting Lisa’s story, pointing out that he’s had many similar experiences.
“I meet a lot of people, I say hi to a lot of people,” he explained. “I don't want to be the jerk who’s like, ‘I did meet you.’ You don't remember everyone you meet.”
But Lisa, 51, offered a much clearer recollection, revealing exactly when and where the interaction she was referring to took place.
“SXSW [for] The Accountant 2,” she wrote in a comment on Instagram, referring to the Austin, Tex., where Ben’s action thriller premiered in March, “and it was a great movie and party.”
Lisa previously cited her attendance at the festival—which she didn’t reference by name—as a contributing factor for her absence from an RV road trip with her RHOSLC cohorts, opting to sit out the excursion to prioritize her professional commitments.
“I think what people forget is I have a very full life because I keep it kinda private,” she told costar Angie Katsanevas during the Bravo series’ season six premiere in September. “And I’m not gonna drop names, but I’ll be with Ben and Blake [Lively].”

#HipHopNews: Lil Durk Finally Out Of Solitary Confinement After Five Months
Lil Durk was placed in isolation after reportedly being caught with an Apple Watch, which violated prison rules.
Durk’s murder-for-hire trial, tied to the 2022 killing of Lul Pab, is now scheduled for May.
The rapper’s release from solitary confinement marks a shift in how he will navigate the next phase of his legal battle.
Lil Durk is still in prison, but he’s reportedly finally out of solitary confinement. The Chicago rapper spent five months experiencing the controversial form of imprisonment.
On Friday (Jan. 15), XXL Magazine reported that the “All My Life” artist returned to the general population in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center. He was in the special housing unit since August 2025. Durk was originally arrested on murder-for-hire charges back in Oct. 2024 in Broward County, Florida. Before the time of the arrest, he reportedly booked multiple flights out of the country.
Durk and five of his Only The Family associates were indicted on charges that included conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and committing murder-for-hire. The case is tied to the 2022 murder of Quando Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, in Los Angeles. The prosecution contends that he was killed in retaliation for King Von’s death in 2020 and that the murder was ordered by Durk.
The 33-year-old was sent to solitary confinement for allegedly being caught with an Apple Watch in his possession. The contraband supposedly let Durk communicate with the outside world and is not allowed in prison.
The Grammy Award-winning artist’s trial is now set to begin in May after an original Jan. 20 start date. A request by other defendants and prosecutors to push the trial date back due to its complexity was granted by the judge.
"The case is so unusual and so complex, due to the nature of the prosecution and the number of defendants, that it is unreasonable to expect preparation for pre-trial proceedings or for the trial itself within the time limits established by the Speedy Trial Act," the filing read.
Durk has filed multiple bond requests, including a $4.5 million bail package, but they have all been denied.

$58K Raised for Grammy-Nominated Musician John Forté’s Family
Kindhearted people donated over $58,000 for the family of the late musician John Forté who died suddenly at age 50.
The Grammy-nominated rap producer was found dead at his home in Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, on Monday, January 12.
A neighbor found Forté unresponsive on his kitchen floor and called 911.
Proceeds from the fundraiser, organized by Amber Knowles, will benefit Forté’s wife, freelance photographer Lara Fuller, and their 2 children.
The description reads in part: “We are organizing this fundraiser to help support John’s children and Lara as they move through this incredibly difficult period. The funds raised will go directly toward the children’s living expenses and care, as well as the unforeseen costs associated with John’s funeral.
If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for this family. Thank you for helping honor John’s memory by supporting the people he loved most.”
Police confirmed no foul play is suspected in Forté’s sudden death.
Tributes poured in on social media from artists he collaborated with including the Fugees, Wyclef Jean, Refugee Camp All-Stars, and more.
Forté was born in Brooklyn, New York City on January 30, 1975. He grew up in a privileged home with financial stability. He studied violin and classical music at the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy, a college prep school in New Hampshire.
After graduating in 1993, Forté returned to New York City, where he roomed with rapper Talib Kweli after enrolling in NYU as a music business major.
His big break came when he was introduced to The Fugees by Lauryn Hill in the early 1990s. He co-wrote and produced several songs on their multi-platinum and Grammy-winning 1996 album, The Score.
He was nominated for a Grammy for his work on the album. He went on to tour with The Fugees, and contributed vocals to Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival in 1997.
Forté released his debut solo album, Poly Sci, which was produced by Wyclef Jean in 1998.
In 2000, Forté was arrested at Newark International Airport on drug possession and trafficking charges. He was sentenced to 14 years at FCI Loretto, a low-security federal prison in central Pennsylvania.
Forté’s privileged education at Exeter enabled him to meet legendary singer Carly Simon and her son Ben Taylor. They met through Taylor’s cousin, who was a classmate of Forté’s at Exeter.
Carly and Ben advocated for Forté and fought for an appeal of the mandatory minimum drug laws that put him in prison.
Forté said Carly Simon was “my champion, my crusader, my mentor, my friend, my spiritual godmother.”
With the help of Senator Orrin Hatch, Forté’s prison sentence was commuted by President George W. Bush on November 24, 2008. He was released from prison on December 22, 2008.
Forté began teaching music at the City College of New York in 2009.
He went on to release more albums and collaborate with musicians. In 2012, he composed an anthem for the Brooklyn Nets, entitled “Brooklyn: Something to Lean On”.
He also appeared on an episode of “NY Ink” on January 2012, and composed the theme song for the CBS News television documentary series “Brooklyn DA.”

Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair Fined for 'Stop the Genocide' Eye Black Message During Playoff Game
The NFL has fined Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair after using his game-day look to send a message about the war in Gaza.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Al-Shaair was hit with a $11,593 fine for wearing eye black that read “stop the genocide” during last week’s wild-card game, a league source confirmed. The fine stems from a violation of the league’s uniform and equipment policy (found at rule 5, section 4, article 8 here), which prohibits players from displaying personal messages on game-day apparel unless specifically permitted under NFL rules.
Source: Texans’ LB Azeez Al-Shaair was fined $11,593 for a violation of the NFL uniform and equipment rules for wearing eye black that contained a personal message during last week’s Wild Card game.
Al-Shaair’s message was widely interpreted as a reference to the ongoing war in Gaza. The conflict escalated after Hamas’ attack on Israel in October 2023, which the U.S. State Department has estimated left more than 1,200 people dead. Subsequent Israeli military operations have led to tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths and have left over 80% of buildings in the region damaged.
Among the organizations that have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza are the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the International Federation for Human Rights, the United Nations Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People, Amnesty International, the Jerusalem Center for Legal Aid and Human Rights, and more. The International Court of Justice has found it "plausible" that Israel is committing genocide.
While Al-Shaair has made headlines for the new fine, this isn’t the first time he has used his NFL spotlight to highlight Palestinian humanitarian concerns.
A devout Muslim who has said he doesn’t pretend to be an expert on international affairs, Al-Shaair has still repeatedly framed his activism as a moral responsibility by using his platform, in his view, to advocate for civilians caught in the violence. Earlier this season, he said, “If my platform can bring even a little hope to families in Palestine, then that is what I want to use it for.”
In previous seasons, he has also taken part in the league-approved “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative to support Palestinian-related causes, including spotlighting relief efforts and referencing the mounting death toll.
The fine adds to a growing list of moments where the NFL has enforced its strict game-day messaging policies, especially as players increasingly use fashion and accessories to express personal, cultural, or political beliefs.

Andrew Tate, Sneako & Nick Fuentes Party as Kanye West’s Banned "Heil Hitler" Plays at Miami Club
A late-night club outing involving Andrew Tate, Sneako, and a circle of high-profile internet provocateurs has sparked major backlash online after videos surfaced showing the group partying to Kanye West’s banned song “Heil Hitler."
As seen on to clips circulating on X and reposts across social media, Tate and company pulled up to a Miami nightclub called Vendôme on Saturday, with a livestream capturing the moment the controversial Ye track played as the guys began to exit their sprinter and enter the club.
The gathering included not just Andrew Tate and Sneako, but also Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, Myron Gaines, Clavicular, and Justin Waller, a lineup that quickly intensified criticism given several of their histories with inflammatory politics and “manosphere”-leaning commentary.
In other footage shared online, the song can also be heard clearly in the venue as the group immersed themselves and sang along, with some onlookers joining in.
Ye’s “Heil Hitler” has been widely condemned due to its antisemitic references. Streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, have previously taken action against it, effectively treating the record as off-limits for mainstream distribution.
As the clips spread throughout social media, online reactions split into some users framing the moment as an anti-censorship stunt and mocking those offended, while others argued it was part of a growing trend where extremist imagery gets repackaged as entertainment.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Derrick Rose launches Rose’s flower shop
Rose’s flower shop offers limited floral drops and is run by Derrick Rose’s family.
The branding features Rose’s wife, mother, and children, reflecting his Chicago roots.
The launch coincides with his NBA retirement and upcoming jersey retirement ceremony.
Derrick Rose meant it when he said he was entering business mode. The retired NBA star announced that he’s launched Rose’s — a family-owned and operated flower shop with limited drops of fresh roses — a new chapter that arrives just as Valentine’s Day gets closer.
Derrick made the launch official on Thursday (Jan. 15) with a playful ad that shows him welcoming viewers into the shop, taking in the scent of fresh roses, and flexing a little “businessman” energy behind the counter. The clip also keeps it personal, featuring his mother, Brenda Rose, his wife, Alaina Anderson Rose, their kids, and other close family members popping up throughout as they help bring Rose’s to life. The moment is backed by a caption that doubled as a mission statement: “Welcome to Rose’s. Family-owned. Family-operated. Now open online. It’s time to smell the roses. Click the link in bio to secure this limited drop.”
And if you actually click through, it’s clear this isn’t just a celebrity name slapped on a product. The website’s “Our Story” section reads like a love letter to family, gratitude, and Chicago itself. “Roses have always meant more to me than something simply beautiful. Not just because it’s my last name, but because to me, they represent love and appreciation,” the Chicago Bulls icon shared in a statement. “On Sept. 26, 2024, the day I retired from the NBA, I sent roses to family, friends, and people who played a part in my basketball journey. It was my way of saying thank you. That moment planted the seed for something bigger.”
He also credits mentorship and community for shaping the brand, calling out the importance of building something rooted in where he comes from: “As a Chicago native, it was important to me that this shop reflects where I come from. From the South Side to Out West, Rose’s Flower Shop is about bringing people together.”
That focus shows up in how the shop works. Rose’s runs weekly “Bloom” drops, with customers able to sign-up to be an “MVP” for alerts and access to future releases. And yes — the brand is leaning into the full-circle moment of Derrick’s post-NBA chapter. During Derrick Rose Night last year at the United Center, when he was honored at halftime during the Bulls’ game against the New York Knicks, he ended his speech with, “I am a businessman now.” A year later, he’s living it.
Solidifying Derrick Rose's legacy with a Chicago Bulls jersey retirement night
The Bulls are also getting ready to put a permanent stamp on the 37-year-old's legacy. The team will retire his No. 1 jersey on Saturday (Jan. 24), with a postgame ceremony after hosting the Boston Celtics, making him the fifth player to join legends like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Bob Love, and Jerry Sloan in the rafters. According to the NBA’s official website, the night will include a full gameday experience, featuring special artwork, performances, themed food and drink offerings, and more.
Tiffany Haddish Reveals She Read 'Girls Trip 2' Script, Teases She Laughed Hard 3 Times
Tiffany Haddish is revealing another new update on the Girls Trip sequel.
The 46-year-old actress and comedian is set to reprise her role as Dina for the second installment, which will reportedly film later this year.
In a new interview, Tiffany shared that she has read a script for the upcoming movie, and even revealed what part of the world part of the movie will film.
“We just got the Girls Trip 2 script,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “They just sent the script. It is, to me, funny. I laughed out loud three times, which is very difficult for me to do, especially off paper, off of reading something. And it made me laugh loud, and hard. I had to put the script down for a minute and come back to it and laugh. It was really good.”
She also said she had some notes and tried to pass them onto the producers, but was denied the chance.
“They’re like, ‘Well, before we even get your notes, we want to get the notes from the studio, so we don’t even want your notes,’” Tiffany said. “And I was a little bit disappointed in that.”
As for where they’re filming?
“I’ve been told as of Friday I heard that they would like to shoot at the end of summer. And we’ll be shooting some of this movie in Africa,” she revealed.
Back in November, Tiffany shared they were to start filming this summer in “somewhere exotic and somewhere we don’t normally go.”
If you missed it, Tiffany was just unmasked on The Masked Singer last week!

Karoline Leavitt Caught on Tape Warning CBS 'We'll Sue Your A-- Off' If They Didn't Air Trump Interview in Full
Karoline Leavitt has been caught on tape. The 28-year-old White House press secretary warned CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil that his 13-minute conversation with President Donald Trump had to air in full, or “we’ll sue your a– off,” per the President.
In audio obtained by the New York Times, she’s overheard saying: “He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full.”
Tony responded: “Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah.”
“He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your a– off,’” Karoline warned.
Tony said with a laugh: “He always says that!” while executive producer Kim Harvey can be heard going “Oh great, okay!”
“The moment we booked this interview we made the independent decision to air it unedited and in its entirety,” a CBS News spokesperson said to the outlet following the audio’s publication.
“The American people deserve to watch President Trump’s full interviews, unedited, no cuts. And guess what? The interview ran in full,” Karoline said in a statement.
If you’ll recall, Trump sued the network previously, and they settled.
“Tony, we now have the hottest country in the world. And a year-and-a-half ago, our country was dead. We had a dead country. You wouldn’t have a job right now. If [Kamala Harris] got in, you probably wouldn’t have a job right now,” Trump said in the interview.

#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Remains No. 1 in Fifth Weekend as ‘28 Years Later: Bone Temple’ Stumbles With $13 Million Debut
“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” proved to be no match for “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” which remained No. 1 at the domestic box office in its fifth weekend of release.
“The Bone Temple” stumbled with $13 million over the weekend and a projected $15 million in its four-day debut over Martin Luther King Jr. Day — below expectations of $20 million to $22 million over the long weekend. The film also collected $16.2 million from 61 overseas territories, bringing its global tally to $31.1 million.
The fourth installment in Sony’s dystopian “28 Days Later” franchise has great reviews and word of mouth (a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and “A-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls), so it’s possible the studio had overestimated the public’s appetite for the infected. After all, “The Bone Temple” was released less than a year after its zombie-infested predecessor, “28 Years Later,” which opened last June to $30 million over the traditional three-day weekend.
“This is a steep drop from the third installment,” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “Critics’ reviews and audience scores are the best of the series. But returning after seven months is too quick, and it’s hurting the numbers.”
That could become a problem for Sony because “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is the franchise’s most expensive film yet, costing $63 million to produce before marketing expenses. Directed by Nia DaCosta and written by series creator Alex Garland, “The Bone Temple” takes place after the previous film and brings back Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell and Alfie Williams as they continue to grapple with a Rage Virus that’s ravaging a post-apocalyptic Britain.
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” continued its reign with $13.3 million over the weekend and $17.2 million through the four-day frame. So far, James Cameron’s third Na’vi adventure has generated $363.5 million domestically and $1.31 billion globally. Although a theatrical juggernaut, “Avatar 3” is running out of steam faster than the first two films, 2009’s “Avatar” and 2022’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which stand as two of the biggest movies in history with $2.9 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively.
Outside of the top 10, Neon’s dark comedy “No Other Choice” has generated $2.2 million over the weekend and a projected $2.8 million through Monday from 695 theaters. The film, directed by acclaimed South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook, has amassed $6.9 million domestically to date while slowly expanding its theatrical footprint.
Elsewhere, Chloe Zhao’s Shakespearean tragedy “Hamnet” added $1.3 million over the weekend and a projected $1.6 million through Monday while expanding to 718 theaters. The film, which recently won the Golden Globe for best motion picture drama as well as a best actress trophy for star Jessie Buckley, has collected a strong $15 million domestically during its platform rollout. Overseas, “Hamnet” has made $12.9 million for a global tally of $27.5 million.
Another new release, Gus Van Sant’s crime thriller “Dead Man’s Wire,” collected $1 million over the weekend and $1.2 million from 1,101 theaters in its nationwide expansion. The well-reviewed movie depicts the real-life 1977 hostage situation and stars Bill Skarsgard as a small-town entrepreneur-turned-outlaw folk hero who kidnaps his bank mortgage holder and demands $5 million for allegedly wronging him. This is the first release for Row K, which launched in August 2025 and has several films on the calendar for 2026.
Meanwhile, a major re-release, Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy — which returned to theaters for the 25th anniversary of “The Fellowship of the Ring” — earned $8 million from 1,680 theaters over the weekend and a projected $9.5 million through Monday. Fathom Entertainment set each film to play on a particular day, with “Fellowship of the Ring” generating $3.58 million on Friday, “The Two Towers” grossing $2.4 million on Saturday, and “The Return of the King” bringing in $2 million on Sunday. Despite record pre-sales, those ticket sales are slightly behind the company’s last “LOTR” re-release in 2024, which grossed $8.2 million over the traditional weekend.
Since January tends to be glacial at the box office, several Thanksgiving and Christmas leftovers rounded out the top five on domestic charts.
“Zootopia 2” was No. 3 with $9 million over the weekend and $11.6 million through Monday in its eighth (!) weekend of release. The animated sequel has remained a box office force for two months with $392 million domestically and $1.7 billion globally. It now stands as the highest-grossing animated Hollywood film of all time, ahead of “Inside Out 2” ($1.69 billion).
Fourth place went to “The Housemaid” with $8.5 million over the weekend and an estimated $10.1 million over the four-day frame, another impressive turnout for Lionsgate’s psychological thriller. The R-rated film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, has grossed $108.7 million in North America and $247.3 million globally against a $35 million budget, a very encouraging result at a tough time for mid-budget movies. “The Housemaid” is the first novel in McFadden’s best-selling trilogy, so naturally, the sequel, “The Housemaid’s Secret,” is already in the works with Sweeney and director Paul Feig.
“Marty Supreme” captured fifth place with $5.4 million over the weekend and a projected $6.6 million through Monday’s holiday. The R-rated film has earned $80.8 million at the domestic box office, surpassing “Everything Everywhere All at Once” ($77 million) as A24’s highest-grossing film in North America. “Marty Supreme,” which has only been released in select international territories so far, has grossed $17 million overseas and $97 million globally. At this point, “Everything Everywhere” remains A24’s highest-grossing worldwide release with $142 million, followed by Alex Garland’s dystopian thriller “Civil War” with $127 million worldwide.
“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” proved to be no match for “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” which remained No. 1 at the domestic box office in its fifth weekend of release.
“The Bone Temple” stumbled with $13 million over the weekend and a projected $15 million in its four-day debut over Martin Luther King Jr. Day — below expectations of $20 million to $22 million over the long weekend. The film also collected $16.2 million from 61 overseas territories, bringing its global tally to $31.1 million.

Green Day will perform at the Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony
Green Day, who are vocal critics of United States President Donald Trump, will perform at the Super Bowl opening ceremony next month.
Members of the American band have criticised Trump on several occasions in recent years.
Last summer, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong spoke out against Trump's administration at Download Festival in the UK, and said: "It's up to us to fight back."
Referencing Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan, he also altered the words to their song American Idiot to say: "I'm not part of the Maga agenda."
Speaking as their appearance at Super Bowl was announced, Armstrong said the band were "super hyped", adding: "Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"
Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny has already been announced as the headline act for the Super Bowl half-time show.
His appearance polarised opinion as he had said in an interview with i-D magazine he was avoiding the US on his world tour out of concerns that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents might conduct raids on fans at his concerts.
Responding to Bad Bunny's booking for Super Bowl, Trump said on NewsMax's Greg Kelly Reports: "I've never heard of him. I don't know who he is."
Super Bowl 60 takes place in Santa Clara, California on February 8.
Trump attended last year's Super Bowl, where he saw the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles, but it is not yet known if he will be present this year.
Ari Fletcher Is Ready To Clear The Air After Jayda Wayda Confirms She Hooked Up With Lil Baby
The internet has been in absolute shambles all weekend following a massive bombshell dropped by Jayda Wayda.
During a TikTok Live session that was supposed to be about her skincare, the conversation took a sharp turn when Jayda finally addressed the long-standing rumors involving her former friend, Ari Fletcher, and her child’s father, Lil Baby.
For years, fans have speculated about what exactly caused the fallout between the two influencers, and Jayda finally gave them an answer. She confirmed that the rumors were true, allegedly stating that Ari messed with Lil Baby in the past. The revelation has sent social media into a tailspin, with fans picking sides and trying to piece together the timeline of a friendship that once seemed unbreakable.
Up until now, things have been relatively quiet on Ari’s end. While the two have seemingly been trading subtle shots and cryptic posts, neither had explicitly named the other. Fans have been refreshing Ari’s feed waiting for a rebuttal, and it looks like she’s finally done being silent.
Taking to X, Ari posted a message that has everyone on high alert: “They want that old Ari, for what tho? Thats a crazy low down dirty cut throat!!! 3:30 EST.” She paired the tweet with a link to her Twitch account, signaling that she’s about to go live and likely address the “dirty” details Jayda put in the air.
The fallout between Jayda and Ari has always been a hot topic, but the confirmation of Lil Baby’s involvement adds a whole new level of drama to the situation.

Rihanna Rocks an $18K Prada Overcoat With a $3K YSL Jacket
Rihanna stepped out in New York City on Saturday night, serving another masterclass in off-duty celebrity style. The global music icon and Fenty founder was photographed arriving at the Saturday Night Live afterparty. She came out to support her longtime partner A$AP Rocky, who appeared as the musical guest on the show that evening. Photos of the look were first shared on X (formerly Twitter) and quickly circulated online, sparking conversations around her bold layering choices.
Rihanna layers fur Prada overcoat over Saint Laurent jacket for SNL afterparty
For the late-night appearance, Rihanna leaned into high-fashion outerwear. She topped her look with a dramatic Prada shearling and cloth overcoat from the brand’s Fall 2025 collection. Valued at approximately $18,000, the tan and brown fur-trimmed coat added warmth, texture, and a lasting impact. It instantly became the focal point of the outfit.
Underneath that, she layered a cream Yves Saint Laurent logo cotton canvas jacket featuring a dark trim. The sporty jacket, which reportedly retails for around $3,200, introduced a relaxed, streetwear-inspired contrast to the luxurious Prada outer layer. According to Page Six, Rihanna paired the jacket with a knee-length black skirt. This kept the base of the outfit clean and understated to let the outerwear shine.
She completed the look with two-toned knee-high boots by Loewe, which subtly echoed the neutral tones of her coat. For accessories, the mom of three opted for a black New York Yankees baseball cap. It added a casual, sporty edge to the lavish ensemble.
Rihanna wore her hair loose beneath the cap and finished the look with a deep red lip, striking the perfect balance between effortless and glamorous. As she stepped into the city night, the singer once again proved that even her off-duty moments feel intentional and fashion-forward. Whether she’s walking a red carpet or heading to an afterparty, she continues to set the standard for modern celebrity style.
