Rihanna scouts for locations around LA wearing a $10k Bottega Veneta coat

She’s the mind behind a successful beauty, skincare and lingerie empire.

And Rihanna looked like she was gearing up for another new project while seen scouting locations around Downtown Los Angeles around 2am on Tuesday.

The Love On The Brain songstress, 33, looked eye-catching as ever during the outing where she paired a fuzzy, butter yellow Bottega Veneta coat with a vintage tee shirt and Daisy Duke shorts.

Rihanna’s coat was quite the statement piece, featuring a combo of butter yellow  and egg yolk-hued suede and shearling with tendrils of trim.

And with a price of $9450, it certainly wasn’t for the average fashionista.

Letting her chic outerwear take the spotlight, RiRi completed her look with simple jean shorts, a tee shirt and white New Balance sneakers with red details.

She gave her look some punch with turquoise earrings, red talons, and a matching pout, while covering her long braids with a silk scarf.

Giving the ensemble a degree of anonymity, the beauty later slipped on a facemask along with little brown shades.

Rihanna was focused during the scouting trip, where she was accompanied by a small crew.

Clearly involved in the process, she took notes and snapped photos as they made their way around the neighborhood.

It was unclear exactly what Rihanna was planning.

Feedback: At one point the mogul consulted a member of her crew

But many of her fans – who lovingly call themselves The Navy – are hoping for new music.

It’s been five years since she released her last album, Anti.

The Umbrella hitmaker is worth an estimated $1.7billion (£1.2billion), Forbes reports, making her the second wealthiest female entertainer on the planet, behind Oprah Winfrey with $2.7billion (£1.9billion).

It was claimed the bulk of the popstar’s fortune ($1.4billion/£1billion) comes not from music, but from her 50 percent stake in her acclaimed cosmetics line Fenty Beauty – a joint venture with French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH – and worth $2.8billion (£2billion) in total.
