Rihanna channels ‘Like a Virgin’-era Madonna in lacy lingerie and pearls

She made it through the wilderness.

If there’s anyone who can put a devilish spin on Madonna’s iconic “Like a Virgin”-era white corset and tulle skirt, it’s Rihanna.

The Bad Gal, 33, was spotted outside of famed New York City restaurant Carbone late Monday night wearing an oversize black lace and silk teddy ($650). The design by Vaquera features sheer panels and a totally sheer back, plus a ruffled hem.

She paired the look with equally enlarged strands of pearl necklaces, Briony Raymond’s Jumbo Pisces Medallion ($14,800) and further accessorized with simple Manolo Blahnik slingback pumps, a Gucci purse and vibrant red lipstick.

The “Work” singer is no stranger to showing a little skin while out and about. She skipped pants in favor of an oversize blazer last month and wore a sheer pink dress for a PDA-filled date night with boyfriend A$AP Rocky days earlier.

The couple could hardly keep their hands off each other after opening up more about their low-key relationship, which they rekindled during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The “Babushka Boi” rapper, 32, even recently called Rihanna “the one” and the “love of [his] life.” To prove her affection, Rih subsequently covered the matching shark tattoo she had with ex-boyfriend Drake with a new crown design.
