The 35-year-old singer was seen out and about in New York City this weekend, decked out in Chanel, including a cropped faux-fur jacket and a pair of "CC" logo spectacles.
According to Vogue, the ensemble was inspired by Chanel's autumn 1994 collection and was worn just days before the 2023 Met Gala.
The choice to wear the look may be a Met tease, considering the collection was designed by Karl Lagerfeld, who will be honoured at the event this year.

"Not even Monday," Riri captioned a series of outfit photos on Twitter and Instagram, pointing out that she's already a few steps ahead of the Met this year.
According to Vogue, the Fenty Beauty founder is wearing a fuzzy white Coperni dress, Amina Muaddi heels, and a Benny Andallo faux fur hat to match the Chanel pieces.
Posing for the camera, the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner shows off her baby belly from every angle — including an outsider's perspective with paparazzi-style Instagram photos.
If Rihanna does arrive at the Met Gala in Chanel, it will be her first appearance since her 2021 gown and Balenciaga beanie, and before that, her beaded mini-dress, cape, and mitre by John Galliano at the 2018 Gala.
The theme of this year's Met Gala is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," which honours the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in February 2019 at the age of 85.
The topic was revealed by organisers of the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit back in September 2022, featuring 150 of Lagerfeld's most memorable ensembles from his years with brands including Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his own eponymous label.
Riri has been spotted in New York in a variety of pregnancy ensembles this week, including a casual yet chic ensemble Monday that included an enormous brown fur coat, baggy blue jeans, and a pair of hefty work boots.
Rihanna completed her ensemble with a chain necklace featuring a heart locket and a navy New York Yankees baseball cap.
Later that week, she was seen getting into an SUV, dressed casually in a brown zip-up jacket, bright white trainers and blue wash straight-leg jeans. She accessorised her look with black sunglasses and a shoulder bag.
Following the Super Bowl, where she revealed a baby bump during the halftime show in a head-to-toe red outfit, Rihanna's rep confirmed her second pregnancy to HotGossipNewz. A second source told HotGossipNewz at the time that she was "super excited to confirm" her pregnancy during her big moment.
"Rihanna is thankful for so many things." "She is overjoyed with how her show went," stated an insider. "She felt great about performing again."
Rihanna and boyfriend ASAP Rocky welcomed their kid in May of last year and have continued to outfit him in the same stylish manner as his parents.
Rihanna shared a lovely photo of her 10-month-old baby on Instagram earlier this month, showing the back of his Fendi leather jacket as he stands up on a booth seat. The stylish jacket, which said "Trouble" on the back and featured a giant Fendi emblem, was worn with blue jeans and little white socks.
