She showed off her golden curls while wearing a bikini the day before.
But Rihanna opted for a striking all-black ensemble on Thursday when she stepped out in New York City.
The 36-year-old singer–songwriter was spotted leaving her hotel in a cool black leather jacket that emphasized her trim waist.
Underneath the jacket she wore a sheer black dress that reached down to her ankles.
The item featured a low-cut neckline that highlighted her cleavage, and the skirt was ruched down the center and radiating out toward her legs.

The dress had more lustrous opaque material for the thick, ruffled hem, and Rihanna wore black pantyhose under her dress.
The 5ft8in beauty added to her stature with a pair of classic black pumps.
Rihanna accessorized her look with a black patterned lather handbag, and she brightened up the otherwise-dark ensemble with her vibrant blond hair, which she styled straight with a side part.
Seemingly missing from her outing in the Big Apple was 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 they let the world know their little boy was growing up with a jubilant Instagram post.
‘HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY 1ST BORN BABY BOY RZA,’ Rocky captioned a cute photo of himself holding the birthday boy upside down while Rihanna held Riot Rose right-side up and showed off a sweet smile.
The two parents appeared to be closer than ever after welcome two young boys, and they have been seen together looking loved-up multiple times in recent months.
Earlier this month, a management source told People that Rihanna and her partner — born Rakim Athelaston Mayers — ‘have always had a solid friendship and the romance just enhanced that.’

The lovebirds also share a second son, nine-month-old Riot Rose. A source told People this month that Rihanna brings her sons with her on all her work trips to keep them close
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 children at home with high-priced nannies when they have to go out of town for business, Rihanna reportedly takes her tots on all of her work trips to keep them close.
‘She seems to just love life,’ the source added.
