With eight Grammy Award nominations in the bag, clearly Rihanna is having a great week. And today, stepping out onto the chilly New York City streets, she proved that she has a winning approach to a winter wardrobe as well.

We’ve seen the singer test the waters in head-to-toe gray, and amp up party pants with a nubby knit, and this time she chose to elevate monochromatic dressing with a soulful vibe.

Adding a hint of holiday shine were Haider Ackermann’s gilded booties and oversize hoop earrings, which have seen a resurgence of late on stylish women in the music industry, including Mary J. Blige-a stylish high note, to be sure.
