Rihanna is the patron saint of unexpected outfit combinations, but her latest entry to the celebrity street style hall of fame might be her most impressive. On Dec. 6 in New York City, the pop star winterized her gray denim bermuda shorts in a pair of brown and white cowhide boots. After all, no RiRi ensemble would be complete without a little animal print.
Bermuda shorts have been enjoying a long overdue renaissance since summer, when the silhouette rose to popularity thanks to co-signs from luxury brands like Bottega Veneta, Sandy Liang, Miu Miu, JW Anderson, and Dries Van Noten. Situated within 2024's broader jorts trend revival, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Charli XCX, and Ayo Edebiri have been styling knee-length shorts for all occasions with socks and sandals, sneakers, moto boots, and slingback heels. But Rihanna's latest look has opened my eyes to a delightful new pairing for the cold months ahead: cowboy boots and baggy jean shorts.
