It’s hard to imagine someone like Rihanna doing something as pedestrian as exercise. Hasn’t she basically transcended the mortal coil? Surely she doesn’t need food and cardio like us mere humans. And yet, on May 17, the “Umbrella” singer stepped out in New York City in a perfect gym outfit. What a world!
Now, she’s still Rihanna, so she wasn’t in ratty sweats or a basic matching set. No, in the typical Rihanna way she was completely and perfectly understated yet extra. A Miu Miu hat. A hoodie I’m sure is from a streetwear brand so cool it doesn’t have a name. Gold jewelry likely so expensive it would make me gasp. Designer sunglasses and a luxe quilted shoulder bag. Bike shorts (it is Princess Diana weather). Crisp white sneakers. Just a hint of makeup.
But the detail I can’t get over? The burgundy brim of her hat matches the burgundy of her lip which matches the burgundy of her bag…which matches the burgundy of her Gatorade. Only Rihanna is thinking on this level. She is living in 3026.

But you dont really need a Rihanna-size budget to recreate this look for yourself. I’m sure you’ve already got bike shorts and a gray hoodie or half-zip. Add ballet sneakers, then coordinate your hat, bag, and lipstick to your water bottle or Gatorade for the same effect. Casual, yes, but clearly with some thought put into it.
