Rihanna takes sports seriously. She makes room in her busy schedule for courtside appearances at Lakers games and soccer matches between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille. Given her appreciation for athletics, it was unsurprising to see her at today’s ICC Cricket World Cup cheering on the West Indies team and bringing a high fashion flair to her private box. Her entrance at Emirates Riverside in an official West Indies team cap made it clear exactly who she was rooting for, though it was her Fenty ensemble that had people talking.
In a corseted denim dress worn as an overcoat, white jeans, and a matching cropped tank, Rihanna honoured the tradition of cricket whites while adding a modern twist. Her gold chains, cross pendant, and reflective sunglasses made for bold accessories—and so did the cricket bat she brought with her to the venue. The West Indian team may have lost the match—Sri Lanka defeated them by 23 runs—but they gained the coolest celebrity supporter around.
