The MTV Vanguard winner and all-around bad girl took to the streets of Soho in New York City in the wee hours of the morning, clad in a showstopping red fur jacket that was shaped like a gigantic heart ([and bearing a striking resemblance to Looney Tunes character, Gossamer](https://twitter.com/search?q=rihanna%20gossamer&src=typd)), where she proceeded to feed the birds like a very chic St. Francis of Assisi (that is, if [St. Francis wore $15,500 Yves Saint Laurent fox fur coats](http://www.ysl.com/us/shop-product/women/ready-to-wear-cape-heart-cape-in-red-fox-fur%5Fcod41657960xt.html#section=women%5Frtw%5Fouterwear)). Perhaps even more endearing than her benevolence towards the birds was the fact that Ri Ri ditched her strappy stiletto sandals from earlier in the night for a pair of flat slides, confirming that Rihanna is a woman of the people.
