Rihanna was recently seen in New York City heading to Jay-Z's concert at Yankee Stadium, sporting a Roc-A-Fella jersey, representing the record label founded by the rapper.

The singer, signed to Roc Nation, showcased a casual-chic look with an oversized jersey, track pants, and flip-flops, accessorized with statement jewelry and sunglasses.
On a separate night out in New York City, Rihanna was spotted in an all-black ensemble, featuring eye-catching silver jewelry, a distressed top, patterned pants, and mesh heels.
