City girl! Rihanna legs it through New York in edgy black dress and strappy silver heels 

When it comes to fashion, Rihanna sure likes to think outside of the box.

And the hit-maker continued to put her bold fashion sense on display during a night out in New York City on Friday.

The 28-year-old wore a funky, black over sized dress that was sensually slipped over her shoulders and glammed up with a sparkling Venus symbol necklace.

Top things off with an oversized jacket like Rihanna's

Rihanna has been glamming it up all over town and this time there was no exception. She stepped out in NYC wearing an oversized jacket as a dress (she's not a style icon for nothing) along with a pair of strappy metallic sandals and a Louis Vuitton box clutch.

Her topper is by Matthew Dolan and we've spotted her in this trendy piece before. The singer seems to have taking a liking to the emerging designer, as she also has one of his denim jackets which she has sported on several occasions.

This particular piece can be layered over jeans and a t-shirt or even a bodycon dress. Or take after the Bad Gal herself and wear it alone and loosely hanging off of the shoulders.

It's not available just yet online so shop for something similar in the edit below. This coat by Yohji Yamamoto should do the trick, or if you're on a budget go for Pull & Bear's affordable version.

The garment appeared to be partially unbuttoned by the hem as it fell just above her knees, putting her fabulous legs on full display. 

She also wore a pair of strappy silver heels and gave the outfit some designer flair with a boxy Louis Vuitton clutch. 

As usual, Rihanna transfixed passerby, and not just with her ensemble.

The striking singer was at her radiant best with just enough mascara to bring out her lashes, a bronzed coat of eye shadow to highlight her hazel eyes, and a slick of lip gloss for a finishing touch.

Wearing her dreadlocks down, the star also sported a coat of ruby red nail polish.

Rihanna unveiled her dreadlocks on her Instagram page on Monday as she paid tribute to the legendary late reggae musician Bob Marley.

'Buffalo Soldier,' she captioned the black and white snapshot showing off her new tresses with her 44.7 million followers.

She named one of the most popular songs by the late Jamaican reggae singer's hits which includes the lyrics 'dreadlock Rasta.'

Rihanna will wrap her tour which kicked off in Jacksonville, Florida on March 12 and will wrap in Abu Dhabi on November 27.

No doubt it is an exciting time in the hitmaker's life as she is part of a star-studded cast for a female-driven Ocean's Eight movie.

The film also stars Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson and rapper Awkwafina and was recently given the release date of June 8, 2018.
