Rihanna revealed her Halloween costume on Instagram and it received multiple reactions from fans. She recreated the style based off of a month-old post by rapper Gunna who also reacted to Rihanna's look.

The above image by the Barbadian singer was recreated in the style of Gunna, who might have been criticized over his choice of fashion clothing at the New York Fashion Week last month. However, it was appreciated by owner of Fenty Beauty and one of the most popular names in the fashion and music industry.

Sergio Giavanni Kitchens, also known as Gunna, was born on June 14, 1993. He is an American rapper best known for his collaborations with Lil Baby and Young Thug. He has signed with the latter's record label YSL Records along with 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records.

Rihanna debuted her 2021 Halloween look on Sunday, October 31, based on the rapper's infamous New York Fashion Week ensemble.

The outfit includes tall Rick Owen boots, a sheer long-sleeve sweater, shorts, sunglasses, chains and a leather vest which was initially worn by the rapper in the previous month for the New York Fashion Week event. She even copied the way that Gunna had posed on his Instagram post.

It wasn't too long before Gunna noticed the recreated Halloween pictures on the internet and commented:

"Nawww U OVERLY WON"

"You don't know," is what Gunna said about how he knows when a "look" works.

"You gotta have the confidence to know it is. Not everybody is gonna like what I wear, but majority of people are. Everybody's not gonna understand what I wear because they don't shop from where I shop."

The YSL rapper has opened up about his fashion sense in the past, recently telling GQ that he’s never aiming to make a “look” with his fashion.

Gunna’s look was originally dogged by Joe Budden and many others, with the podcaster writing on Instagram stories:

“Don't wanna hear a word about my outfits ever again.”

The Fenty Beauty CEO's Halloween outfit appears to be an exact copy of Gunna’s NYFW look from earlier in the season. The picture earned nearly 2 million double taps and over 25,000 comments within an hour of it being posted.
