Rihanna, once famous for singing but perhaps now best known for her Met Gala looks and sprawling business empire, is back at it again with another side quest. The star posted a video to Instagram of her walking around the streets of New York City in an oversized button-up and pleated skirt accompanied by the caption, “Since I clearly won’t be achieving my six pack til next summer, I switched my summer goal to matching my shoes to my panties! ‍♀️”



Indeed, at the end of the video, she flashes the camera, showing us that she’s wearing a pair of black panties to complement the black Fenty x Puma sneakers she’s sporting, which are the real reason for the video. The sneakers, designed by Rihanna in collaboration with Puma, are wrapped in soft corduroy and suede, and come in triple black or red and white.



The fan reaction was mixed. Many, particularly men, loved being flashed, but others just wanted to know where Rihanna’s next album is, since it’s been eight years since her last one. To that end, a top comment reads, “Now match them panties to the album,” while another asked, “So the album is called ‘Shoes & Panties,’ right?!?!”


It’s not looking great for those waiting for new music, though. Between her line of lingerie, her beauty line and her Puma collaboration, Rihanna seems mostly focused on her ever-expanding business empire. Not to mention, her growing family with A$AP Rocky. And, of course, ensuring that her panties perfectly match her shoes.
