Celebrity style doesn’t always make sense. Instead, their ensembles catch our eye because of their interesting styling that Real People like us could never replicate in our day-to-day. For instance, Jennifer Lopez carries a rare Birkin to pilates class, Kim Kardashian uses a bedazzled stiletto clutch, and Rihanna wears diamonds with leggings. Are these outfits practical or sensical by any means? No, but they’ve got a celebrity cool factor that makes them awe-inspiring. RiRi constants this category (as mentioned, she has a penchant for pairing gemstones with her athleisure). Just yesterday, while out in Los Angeles, Rihanna styled her own Fenty x Puma creepers (a flex in itself) with vintage Jean Galliano for Christian Dior pearls, a sheer Khaite top, and a supersized teddy bear coat. Only Rihanna could wear lingerie, jeans, sneakers, and pearls and make the confounding combination feel coherent.
With her hair in a high top-knot, the singer displayed a jaw-dropping set of pearls, courtesy of Jean Galliano for Christin Dior’s 2007 Couture show. The piece features a pearl choker throughout the neck with one longer string of pearls hanging at the decolletage. She styled the archival necklace with additional longer pearl necklaces. In true Rihanna fashion, the necklace channeled the grandeur of the collection it hails from, which is only fit for a style icon of Rihanna’s status.
