Rihanna cuts a chic figure in a black leather jacket and sheer dress as she arrives at her hotel in New York City

She showed off her golden curls the day before while wearing a bikini.

But Rihanna opted for a striking all-black ensemble as she stepped out in New York City on Thursday.

The 36-year-old singer-songwriter was spotted leaving her hotel in a cool black leather jacket that highlighted her slim waist.

Under the jacket she wore a sheer black dress that reached her ankles.

The item had a low-cut neckline that emphasized her cleavage, and the skirt was rolled up in the middle and extended down to her legs.

The dress featured more shiny opaque material for the thick, ruffled hem, and Rihanna wore black tights under her dress.

The 6ft beauty added to her figure with a pair of classic black pumps.

Rihanna accessorized her look with a black patterned foam handbag, and she brightened up the otherwise dark ensemble with her vibrant blonde hair, which she styled straight with a side part.

Apparently missing from her outing in the Big Apple were her partner A$AP Rocky, 35, as well as their two sons: RZA, two, and Riot Rose, nine months.

Rihanna and Rocky celebrated RZA’s second birthday on Monday and let the world know their son was growing up with a jubilant Instagram post.

“HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY FIRST BORN BABY BOY RZA,” Rocky captioned an adorable photo of him holding the birthday boy upside down while Rihanna held Riot Rose right side up and flashed a sweet smile.

The two parents seemed to be closer than ever after welcoming two young boys, and they have been spotted in love together several times in recent months.

Earlier this month, a management source said People that Rihanna and her partner – born Rakim Athelaston Mayers – ‘have always had a solid friendship and the romance has only strengthened that.’

They added that “family comes first” for the lovebirds.

Another source added that Rihanna is “all about motherhood” and “loves” the experience of raising their two children.

Unlike other celebrity parents who leave their kids at home with expensive babysitters when they have to go out of town on business, Rihanna reportedly takes her toddlers with her on all her work trips to keep them close.

“She just seems to be loving life,” the source added.
