Rihanna again supported her beau A$AP Rocky on Thursday amid his criminal trial in downtown Los Angeles, as he faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
The Grammy-winning artist and fashion mogul, 36, for the second day in a row, made headlines for her starry presence and glamorous, stylish appearance.
The AP reported that she ‘[outshined] key testimony’ in the case, which stems from a shooting her boyfriend, 36, stands accused of.

The Umbrella songstress, who shares two children with A$AP Rocky, 36 – RZA, two, and Riot Rose, one – again was seated between A$AP Rocky’s mother Renee Black and sister Erika B. Mayers.
The Barbados-born superstar was ‘again brought into the courtroom surrepтιтiously before most of the rest of the audience’ Thursday, according to the AP, as she was clad in ‘a white top and gold earrings.’

On Wednesday, the fashion mogul, who founded the company Fenty Beauty, donned a an all-black ensemble of a coat with ʙuттons, a purse and gold jewelry in the outing, sources told People Wednesday.
Rihanna – who was mentioned multiple times as attorneys conducted jury selection – wore her hair to the side and donned black-framed glᴀsses at one point to focus on footage displayed during Wednesday’s hearing.
Thursday’s hearing was again marked by ‘contentious’ exchanges between A$AP Rocky’s accuser A$AP Relli, whose real name is Terell Ephron, and defense attorney Joe Tacopina.
On Wednesday, A$AP Relli ‘repeatedly demanded to know why’ Tacopina had taken a certain line of questioning, leading Judge Mark S. Arnold to recess the case so A$AP Relli’s attorney could instruct him how to answer the questions in a manner appropriate for the court.
At one point, A$AP Relli yelled at A$AP Rocky, ‘You did this to yourself!’ to which A$AP Rocky did not respond.
The judge admonished him, ‘Do not talk to the defendant!’ to which he defended himself, ‘He’s staring at me!’

At another point in the trial Wednesday, Tacopina displayed a series of Instagram posts that indicated A$AP Relli had problems with A$AP Rocky before the shooting occurred, which would have contradicted prior statements he gave in the proceedings.
A$AP Relli asked Tacopina, ‘Why are you showing my Instagram?’ adding he was ‘already getting death threats’ from ‘the whole world.’
A$AP Relli told Tacopina that he was getting pushback from the public over the way he had been portrayed as legal proceedings played out in the case.
‘Cause you´re saying I´m an extortionist and you´re putting my whole life out there,’ said A$AP Relli, who has filed a civil case against Tacopina accusing him of libeling him with statements about the case. He has also sued A$AP Rocky in connection with the incident.
A$AP Relli earlier this week testified about the specific incident in which he alleges A$AP Rocky sH๏τ him amid a dispute between the pair.
A$AP Relli said in testimony that A$AP Rocky had aimed a firearm in his direction, at one point holding it in the air as he approached him.
‘He turned around and then it was like BOOM! I felt my hand H๏τ. I was hit. Or I was grazed. I didn´t have a hole or nothing.’
