Rihanna looks stylish in a knit dress and thigh-high leather boots as she enjoys dinner with friends in Los Angeles

She always puts on a stylish show.

Rihanna was no exception, heading out to dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday in a knit dress and thigh-high leather boots.

Arriving at celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, the 36-year-old singer looked stunning in a semi-sheer, zip-front gown.

She accessorized her outfit with a burgundy woven handbag by Bottega Veneta and completed the look with matching lipstick.

After a busy week at Shanghai Fashion Week and a short trip to Barbados, Rihanna wasted no time meeting friends at an Italian restaurant.

Rhianna left China and headed straight to her hometown, where she spent the evening with boyfriend A$AP Rocky on Monday.

It was a good start to the week for Rocky, whose trial for allegedly shooting former friend and plaintiff A$AP Relli was adjourned to Tuesday so he could perform at a benefit concert in Thailand.

The troubled rapper (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers) will headline Rolling Loud Thailand on November 22 at the Legend Siam Pattaya theme park in Na Chom Thian.

Ale Rolling Loud Thailand press release AND website not to mention the festival’s affiliation with any charity or non-profit organization, which costs fans $270-$425 for one-day passes and $650-$1,020 for three-day passes.

“I’m trying to create (a) Starbucks (with franchise festivals),” explained Rolling Loud co-founder Matt Zingler Forbes in 2018

“It’s all about scale, price flexibility and supply and demand. For us, as a festival, the return on investment ranges from 10-50%. There’s a reason we’re growing at such a pace.”

On January 8, A$AP – who retained lawyer Joe Tacopina – pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a semi-automatic weapon in the 2021 shooting death of his longtime friend A$AP Relli (née Terell Ephron).

Prosecutors received video of Rocky – who faces up to eight years in prison if convicted – allegedly holding a gun, but there is no video of Ephron being shot in the hand.

According to reports, the two-time Grammy nominee Bajan’s father was sent to prison when he was just 12 years old, and he spent his teenage years moving through homeless shelters with his mother and sister.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Arnold welcomed Rihanna to his courtroom and agreed to accommodate her in case she wanted to attend A$AP’s trial, which is expected to last seven to 10 days.

Rocky’s delayed fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, is reportedly scheduled for release in November.

Rhianna will next produce and voice Smurfette in Paramount Animation’s The Smurfs Movie, which hits UK and US cinemas on February 14, 2025, as well as writing and recording original songs.
