    It won't be long before the streets of Paris are flooded with Fashion Week show-goers, wearing the on-trend outfits they meticulously planned weeks prior. If you're packing for PFW as we speak, take it from Rihanna: Save a spot in your luggage for sweatpants. Not only are they the perfect airplane pants, but they're also easy to elevate with the right shoe trend and It bag if you don't happen to have time to stop by the hotel before your first stop.

    While it's unclear if RiRi will stay in Paris until Fashion Month's final runway shows in October, right now, she can't stop, won't stop serving inspiration-worthy outfits around France. Earlier in the month, she even styled a pair of hybrid skirt-jeans.

    On August 30, the Grammy winner switched gears with The Attico's Melange Gray Joggers, featuring elasticized ankles and balloon-looking legs.

    Rihanna elevated her sweatpants outfit with fall#039;s mules trend and a Dior bag

    Rihanna was spotted in Paris wearing sweatpants, mules, and a Dior bag, looking every bit a sleepy yet chic Fashion Week show-goer.

    She wore the light-reflecting, zip-pocket pair with a matching T-shirt, a black trench coat, and Gucci's metallic silver take on the closed-toe mules trend. (Chanel, Ferragamo, Miu Miu, and more debuted similar styles during recent fall runway shows.)

    The pointy pumps already upgraded the off-duty outfit to fashion-insider status, but because she's Rihanna, she accessorized with a hot-ticket item from Dior, too.

    Saving her Saddle, Lady Dior, and Book Tote bags for other nights out in Paris, the brand ambassador brought out the Small Dior Toujours Hobo weeks after its official launch date. While Rihanna wore the Fall 2026 design over her shoulder, its quilted leather can also be carried as a top-handle tote, with the signature "C" and "D" clasps interlocked.
