Rihanna Pulls a Kendrick Lamar in Celine Flare Jeans and a Leather Jacket

Rihanna returned to her favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, for a late-night dinner with close friends, including Jason Lee, for the second consecutive night. This visit comes after the restaurant was closed due to the recent Palisades fires. Luckily, Giorgio Baldi was spared during the tragic fires that devastated many homes and businesses in the area. The restaurant was shut down for nearly two months before it was deemed safe to reopen. It#039;s hard to say what delights Rihanna so much about the pasta sauce that keeps bringing her back for a second night in a row! She stepped out in a casually chic outfit, wearing a brown leather jacket paired with a beautiful fur shawl, blue flared denim jeans, Amina Muaddi Barbara snakeskin leather boots, and a Fendi purse with a brown fur tail. — (Image credit: Backgrid)

If you unexpectedly found yourself searching "flared jeans" at roughly 8:19 pm Eastern Time on Feb. 9, please know that you are not alone. In the 48 hours after Kendrick Lamar's 2025 Super Bowl Half-Time show, Google interest for the nostalgic denim style shot up more than 5,000 percent. Millions of fans succumbed to Lamar's influence and, judging by her latest 'fit, Rihanna was one of them.

On March 9—exactly one month after that fateful performance—the pop star is carrying on Lamar's legacy. She stepped out for dinner at her favorite Los Angeles institution, Giorgio Baldi, wearing the Rihanna version of the flare jeans/leather jacket look Lamar sported on stage.

She was outfitted in a brown leather bomber jacket and a pair of nearly identical bell-bottom jeans. Not only were her's similar in wash and cut, Rihanna's $1,200 pair was even made by the same designer. Both stars debuting denim from Celine's latest collection.

As Hollywood's biggest fashion innovator, the makeup mogul was obliged to implement her own unique aesthetic to the Lamar-inspired look. Rihanna added several stylistic calling cards, including: her favorite Amina Muaddi snakeskin boots and several fur details. Though she usually goes for fur coats, this time she chose a plush keychain and shawl.

Rihanna's handbag, too, is a fixture in her carefully curated wardrobe. Playing off of her jacket's chocolatey colorway, she carried a tubular Fendi bag in a similar shade of brown.

The archival piece has been the Best Supporting Actor in her closet for a week, with Rihanna wearing it only days before at the exact same restaurant. An oldie, but a goodie, her baguette can be found on second-hand retailers for as low as $282.
