Rihanna Steps Out In Rare "No Limit" Vintage Jersey

Rihanna stepped out in a head-turning XXL look last night in New York City. She opted for baggy wide-leg light wash jeans that ever-so artfully broke at the ankle to reveal a pair of lace-up pointy-toe heels, a Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and an oversized royal blue jersey that had “No Limit” emblazoned in red on the front. (The red seamlessly went with RiRi’s tiny red Balenciaga bag). The vintage top is merch from No Limit Records, which was founded in 1994 by Master P.

Rihanna seems to be on a jersey streak, too: Just last week, she sported an archival blue piece from the TLC’s Fanmail tour that hailed back to 1999. She scored it from New York vintage hub, Procell, and paired it with checked pants, Adidas x Gucci clogs, and a python Tom Ford-era Gucci bag from spring 1996. Back in January, she stepped out in a hulking Jean Paul Gaultier coat, orange leather opera gloves, and another No Limit oversized jersey in shimmering sky blue—also from Procell.

While Rihanna has been seen recently wearing her jersey collection, they have always been a staple in her wardrobe. Since the 2010s, she’s often infused the pieces into her look, whether it is a fitted tank in pink with pants or a simple oversized tank with knee-high stiletto boots—one of her early signatures.

Of course, Rihanna’s jersey style has evolved. Now, the artist, businesswoman, and new mom wears them oversized and brighter than ever. It’s a chic streak.

Savage x Fenty secures $125 Million In Funding as it Opens First Store

Savage X Fenty, the inclusive lingerie brand founded by pop star Rihanna, has reportedly secured 125 million dollars in fresh funding.

It comes via a Series C funding round led by Neuberger Berman, along with participation from previous investors L Catterton, Avenir, Sunley House Capital, Advent International, and Jay Z’s Marcy Venture Partners, Forbes reports.

New investors include LionTree, Abu Dhabi Growth Fund (ADG) and Multiply Group.

It brings the total venture capital funding raised by Savage X Fenty to 310 million dollars, following a 115 million dollar Series B round in February.

Savage X Fenty was launched in 2018 as a joint venture between Rhianna and Fabletics owner TechStyle Fashion Group.

Physical store debut

The brand, which holds an annual star-studded runway show presented through Amazon Prime, announced earlier this month plans to take its first foray into physical retail, with the first store - in Las Vegas - opening this week.

In an Instagram post, Rhianna revealed the other four locations: LA, Houston, Philadelphia and Washington DC.

Also this month, the brand’s co-president and chief merchandising Christiane Pendarvis, told Bloomberg that “retail is an important part of our growth strategy”, due to the need for customers to test the products’ fit and comfort.

Pendarvis said that following the US openings, store openings in Europe could follow at a later date.
