Think of Rihanna, and you may picture her partying in a gemstone bikini at Carnival or shining in a see-through gown of Swarovski diamonds. But Rihanna has other modes, too — or, more accurately, layers. For someone who claims to only ever wear a shirt or a bra, never both, Rihanna also spends an awful lot of time bundled up, whether in giant coats or her favorite Vetements hoodie.
