Entering the matrix in a leather trench coat, Rihanna‘s Los Angeles photos showed her arriving at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in courtroom-appropriate style. These brief glimpses showed how she paired the Matrix-inspired outfit with snake-skin boots and a classy bag. A closer look at the snippets captured the moment she stepped out of a black SUV at the courthouse in the massive coat cinched at the waist with a matching leather belt. In addition, she brought her two sons to show her unwavering support during A$AP Rocky’s assault trial.

More snaps showcased the detailed elements of the Grammy winner’s ensemble as she wore her hair down and nailed subtle makeup. Her eyes looked gorgeous, with the rest of her look consisting of pinkish blush and glossy lip shade. Moreover, Rihanna carried a top-handle bag, looking nearly ready to get down to business. Page Six shared more stills showing her holding two-year-old RZA while an unidentified woman carried Riot as they walked into the courthouse.

This marked Rihanna‘s second outing in snakeskin and a leather coat, as previous photos from last week showed her out and about in Los Angeles. Reportedly, she was at Nobu, combining both aesthetics in a snakeskin-print leather jacket as she channeled the mob-wife aesthetic for her outing. Furthermore, the artist seemingly layered this fashionable piece over a comfy-looking gray T-shirt and styled it with her usual bling, including statement earrings and an enormous ring.
