Rihanna was one of more than 8,000 guests at Moncler’s The City of Genius event held in Shanghai, China over the weekend — but she was still easy to spot in a glossy red catsuit and sharp black heels.
Rihanna modeled one of her partner A$AP Rocky‘s creations made in collaboration with Moncler. The superstar looked fierce as ever in a skin-tight shiny jumpsuit in a captivating cardinal red hue. The one-piece garment featured a zipper in front and a mock neck collar; keeping with the rosy color scheme, she modeled an off-the-shoulder look with a puffer layer, a nod to Moncler’s signature item.
With her hair piled atop her head, she accented the catsuit with a matching red lip, oversized sunglasses and a single-strand diamond necklace. Both catsuit and puffer featured the logo for AWGE, A$AP Rocky’s creative agency. Stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn were responsible for her look.

A bold heel seemed the natural choice to complement Rihanna’s daring outfit. The superstar changed up the color scheme with a pair of black patent leather heels; the shoes featured a super sharp elongated pointed toe and an upper with an oval-shaped outline. The back portion, or quarter of the shoe, covered some of the heel but was notably cut slightly lower than that of the typical black pump.
While this mule-adjacent silhouette made the shoe stand out, other classic features included a sloped sole and a stiletto heel. The style strongly resembled Amina Muaddi‘s forthcoming Anok Mule, which Rihanna herself debuted in September in a shade referred to as “custom butter satin.”
At Selfridges in London last month, she paired the gold shoe with an off-the-shoulder robe-inspired dress made of a fuzzy fabric. Now in October, she could very well be modeling the style in another colorway — especially with her heels bearing the peach outsole and interlocking “AM” logo of the brand.
Rihanna has been in the mood for red lately. Alongside Puma, the entrepreneur recently released the newest colorway of the Fenty x Puma Avanti sneaker, with this version known as Club Red.
The makeup mogul is known for her fashion sense, and designers often give her the first pick of their latest designs. Earlier this month when celebrating the rapper’s birthday, she wore an updated version of Gianvito Rossi‘s Montecarlo style. The Montecarlo silhouette was released previously by Gianvito Rossi, but Rihanna’s version is from the brand’s resort 2025 collection and won’t be in stores for a few months and she was seemingly the first celebrity spotted wearing the design.
