The Power of Three

Don’t be afraid to experiment with both patterns and color. Choose a solid color top and bottom like Rihanna so the focal point of your outfit is the accessories.

Jean Queen

Ms. Rihanna is a big fan of J Brand jeans, which can cost up to $275. If you crave designer jeans, but can’t afford the designer price tag, we’ve got a treat for you.

Express Yourself

Distressed jeans are all the rage and will give your look a touch of vintage appeal. Spice it up with gladiator heels like Rihanna to create instant drama. You’ll elevate your style to new heights wearing these three-inch heels.

Call of the Wild

Are you a fashion daredevil like Rihanna? Embrace your animal instincts and don a sexy snakeskin top. This was a popular trend on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Miu Miu and more!

Queen of the Jungle

Rihanna’s snakeskin blouse was the main attraction of her outfit. Tame a similar look down by wearing pants in a solid color or with muted toned jeans. We like this top by Forever 21 that you can dress up or down by wearing a bold belt.

The Trendsetter

This Barbadian babe is known for her edgy approach to fashion, but every diva needs her downtime. Take a cue from Rihanna and sport a long and lean cardigan during the summer.

Cardigan Cool

Rihanna gets away with wearing things the average woman would never dream of. Although we are feelin’ Rihanna’s cardigan, we don’t recommend wearing it like a dress unless you’re a short and sassy type of girl. Pair your long cardigan with leggings or skinny jeans for more practical appeal and a slimmed-down silhouette.

Prance your pretty feet around the town in a high-voltage sneaker packed with megawatt color and attraction.

Rainbow Bright

Rihanna goes the distance showing that sneakers can be just as glam as stilettos. Neon everything is so hot this season, so play up the trend with these sexy sneakers showcasing neon stitching and juicy sweet lime laces.

Rise & Shine

If you’ve been toning your hips and thighs this summer like Rihanna, show off all your hard work in a pair of metallic leggings.

Metallic Made

Sisters, be warned that the metallic legging trend does not work for every body type, so if you have fuller hips, go for a pencil-cut metallic skirt instead. Booties are still as “in” as they were for fall so don’t be afraid to wear them now.
