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. If there’s one thing to look forward to this winter, it’s seeing her get progressively cozier, but in the meantime, click through the slideshow to Rih-live some of her comfiest moments.
