Rihannais a style icon. Full stop.

But as such, the Savage x Fenty founder, who won the CFDA Fashion Awards' Fashion Icon Award in 2014, occasionally gets compared to fictionalized characters when she wears out-of-this-world looks.

The “Woo” singer, 36, attended the event to support 36-year-old partnerA$AP Rocky, who was honored with the Cultural Innovator Award. Under her asymmetrical coat, her ensemble seemed to feature a black bustier and a lace skirt.
