Rihanna may have canceled shows for her “Diamonds World” tour due to a bout with laryngitis, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get the opportunity to gawk at the lineup of clothing RiRi would have been strutting around in while belting “Stay” into a mic.

The Bajan beauty loves a plethora of designers all the same, but one of her top favorites is definitely Riccardo Tisci. The Givenchy designer was tapped to design custom looks for Rihanna while she’s on tour, and WWD exclusively released the sketches of some of her tour looks today.

True to his usual aesthetic, Riccardo opted for things that were embroidered, drapey, and of course, very Rihanna-style sexy.
WWD reports:
Taking cues from his fall men’s collection, Tisci designed a printed parka featuring gold bullet motifs, embroidery and Swarovski Elements. Underneath was a black-and-white leather bra with golden buckles and starry embroideries, juxtaposing a pair of black silk and satin mini shorts. Accenting the ensemble was a pair of couture goggles featuring gold hardware, a gold metal shark tooth necklace reading “RIRI” in the back, and white crystal stud earrings.
According to Givenchy, the costume is a symbol of “female empowerment and urban haute couture elegance. Rihanna represents what young and amazing means today.”
“She is punk and talented. She offers intelligence, energy and pure beauty. She is the face of her generation.”
We can’t think of a better selection to compliment Rihanna’s tone than Ricardo’s aesthetic.
