Rihanna steps out in thigh-skimming LBD but covers up with giant trench coat

         
Rihanna appeared to be of two minds on Tuesday. The 26-year-old sported a thigh-skimming LBD while also wearing a large and fluffy trenchcoat for a nocturnal outing in New York City.
Adding another layer of sartorial intrigue was a pair of shiny New Balance trainers strapped to the Bajan beauty's feet for the evening walk.

Even more disconcerting was the Stay singer's choice to wear dark sunglasses out in the nighttime streets.
Pinning her dark locks into a messy bun, Rihanna looked to be in a chipper mood as she crossed a busy Big Apple intersection.

And her good vibes may be the lasting effect of a recent trip to a more tropical climate the star recently returned from. See more pics after the cut......
