On today’s episode of celebrity outfit inspo, we’re taking a look at some of our favorite Rihanna style moments, which are luckily far less elusive than her new music.
Rihanna is the queen of elevated street style – mixing low and high brow pieces perfectly. Even if you don’t think you’d wear any of her actual outfits, it’s worth examining her style as a study of juxtaposition and how it can be utilized to add interest to an otherwise basic look.
Here are 5 of RiRi’s best looks so you, too, can shine like a Diamond and look like the Only Girl in the World (okay.. feel free to block me now)
Slip Dress + Heels + Baseball Cap + Fur Jacket
What do these four things have in common? Basically nothing, except for the fact that Rihanna is wearing all of these in this photo… and kills it. The baseball cap adds the perfect amount of irony to this look – take note people
Maxi Slip Dress + Baseball Cap + Leather Jacket
Another way to style a slip dress is to throw on something more masculine (like a leather jacket) and more casual (like a baseball cap). Here, RiRi does both and looks impeccable as always
Jersey + Wide Leg Pants
This outfit is another perfect example of elevated street style. Here you’ve got Rihanna in an basketball jersey and wide leg trousers – an unexpected pairing but works perfectly together (which is what I imagine the first person who tried dipped pizza in ranch said)
Slip Dress + Converse
RiRi loves her slip dresses.. what can we say? If you’re trying to figure out how to style a longer slip dress, look no further. A classic pair of Chucks polishes off this outfit perfectly
Tube Top + Jeans + Fur Trimmed Coat
Want to spice up your simple jeans-and-a-tank look? Throw on an oversized fur-trimmed coat. Imagine the things you could hide in there!
Cardigan + Mini Dress
Do not be afraid to wear a baseball cap at night ladies! If Leo can do it, so can you! And besides, how else would Rihanna have added the perfect finishing touch to this impeccable cardigan/mini dress/heels ensemble?
Mini Skirt + Track Jacket
Here’s Rihanna in a perfectly juxtaposed combination of mini skirt and oversized velour track jacket. Only Rihanna could wear velour after 2009 and look that good doing it
Coat + Trousers + Glasses
This look proves that pairing different patterns isn’t always a bad thing. In fact sometimes it can be just what an outfit needs. A pair of sneakers and glasses rounds out this look. Suddenly I think I need to go in for an eye exam…
