Rihanna really took the whole &#8220;sporty chic&#8221; outfit aesthetic to the next level (as Rihanna does). She opted for a lime green bedazzled dress, paired with a matching off-the-shoulder zip-up hoodie and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-amina-muaddi\/\">Amina Muaddi<\/a> heels to top off her look.
