This week in style, Rihanna unpacks her viral Super Bowl pregnancy reveal and other 2023 viral fashion moments.

Rapper Latto spread some holiday cheer in her native Georgia this year. For her third annual “Christmas in Clayco” event, the Grammy-nominated star returned to her hometown, Clayton County (which she often refers to as “Clayco”), to donate over $500,000 worth of gifts. 

“We are ecstatic to bring back Christmas in Clayton for the third time,” District 1 Commissioner Dr. Alieka Anderson said in a

Black in Style: Pyer Moss makes a statement with ‘Loot-out’ sale announcement

Ciara arrived at the Vanity Fair after-party in a sheer gown over a thong, which she later had to defend on Instagram. The next morning, Law Roach sent the fashion industry into a tizzy when he announced he was quitting styling. 

Rihanna continued her theme of arriving fashionably late at this year’s Met Gala. After Doja Cat dressed as a cat for her Gala debut, the then-pregnant Bad Gal arrived with A$AP Rocky in a decadent, blossom-embellished white gown and hoodie that were well worth the wait. 

Over in the land of TikTok, the Tabi shoe thief took over the timeline. For the less aware (or anyone over 25), after buying a pair of highly coveted Tabi shoes, a young Black woman living in New York was the victim of a shoe thief while on a date. Thankfully, after the internet got a hold of the story, she received the shoes back! 

The Tabi thief wasn’t the only fashion crime to take center stage. More than 50 styles from Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain Spring/Summer 2024 collection were stolen en route to the show during Paris Fashion Week. He rebounded as his atelier recreated the garments lost and the show went on. 

Naomi Campbell also had quite the year in the spotlight, which included a controversial debut with Pretty Little Thing. Another buzzy and viral debut that occurred this year was Pharrell’s successful first outing as creative director of Louis Vuitton menswear. 

The fall was rounded out with Usher who had a stylish romp around Paris during fashion week, which included him pulling off a kilt look. 

Of his time in Paris, Usher told Women’s Wear Daily, “It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve celebrated, danced, sang, eaten — maybe not got a lot of sleep — but I’ve definitely seen some amazing shows and put on some amazing shows.”

But perhaps the biggest fashion moments of the year came from Beyoncé, who was parading around the world spreading the joy of her “Renaissance” tour. From the custom looks on stage to the silver styles sported by the BeyHive in attendance, the “Renaissance” tour was “the visual!”
