People take fashion risks all the time, but when it comes to Rihanna and her fashion game, she takes it to a whole new level. Not many people can wear a metallic Dries Van Noten outfit to the pool and rock a mullet – at the same time. She’s also been spotted flawlessly wearing a sporty fiery orange color from head to toe. Ri-Ri has written her own book on how to turn heads when it comes to fashion.

Rihanna Is a Source of Fashion Inspiration

Aside from being one of the main sources of fashion inspiration, no matter if she’s vacationing in her native home of Barbados or walking the streets of New York City, Rihanna’s outfits are always telling the future. They tell us what styles are going to be in and what’s on the way in terms of fashion.

Before quarantine life became such a normal life for everyone, Rihanna was already wearing elevated loungewear – from sweatsuits to hoodies and more. She hinted at the upcoming trend of voluminous proportions like wearing wide-leg statement pants and oversized outerwear.

We owe Rihanna, not just for her incredible music, but also for always keeping us in the know on what’s coming next when it comes to fashion. Below are 5 Spring fashion trends that Ri-Ri already slew way before we knew it was trendy.

1. Monochrome Outfits

Monochrome outfits are in style and Rihanna has been spotted in some of her own over the years. Rihanna owns her clothing line, Fenty, and she recently released its monochrome outfit including a body-hugging dress and oversized coat. However, she didn’t stop at just creating a basic monochrome look. She went above and beyond and chose to use a bold color. She designed a head-to-toe fiery orange monochrome outfit.

2. Body-Hugging Dresses

Body-hugging dresses make a bold statement on their own. Rihanna hinted early on that they will be making a strong comeback for a few seasons. She was spotted at an event wearing a bright pink clingy dress that highlighted her figure.

3. Mini Bags

Back in February 2020, Ri-Ri showed off her casual outfit as she carried a mini bag. These not-so-practical bags are in style and all the rage in fashion these days. Designer brands like Bottega Veneta and Jaquemes have some of the most popular ones.

4. Shorter Hemlines

A shorter hemline is always a good idea. Rihanna has shown off this leg-baring trend on multiple red carpet events. Whether she had a jacket for a cover-up or not, the shorter hemline is something she can pull off.

5. Elevated Loungewear

Toward the end of 2019, Rihanna foreshadowed quarantine life and took over the fashion industry with elevated loungewear. She often wore luxury sweatsuits and made the style look good.

7 of the Best-Dressed Looks from the 2021 Golden Globes

By Randolph Lawson – 12/23/20

This year, the Golden Globes were held a little differently. They featured a virtual red carpet, and while people might have thought that the Internet’s democratizing effect on the fashion industry might stop them from showing off some of their best looks, most celebrities definitely gave the carpet an alternate view.

Virtual Golden Globes

The iconic duo, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, hosted the award show this year, and they certainly showed off on their own. Even though people were phoned in through video calls from all over the world in order to celebrate the best people in film and television, the stars didn’t disappoint. The Old Hollywood glamour was a continuous theme for the Golden Globes this year.

The Old Hollywood motif was interpreted by the stars in many different ways. Some stars chose to keep things chic and straightforward. These stars included Andra Day who showed off in her jazz age decadence as she wore a piece from Virginie Viard’s 2021 Spring and Summer collection.

On the other hand, Regina King wore an asymmetrical column gown that was designed by Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière. It had tons of sequins on it, and though it was glitzy, it wasn’t the least bit fussy. It perfectly embodied the celebratory spirit of the Golden Globes.

Some of the best-dressed looks of the night are featured below:

1. Anya Taylor Joy

Anya Taylor Joy, the star from The Queen’s Gambit, took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series. Not only did she win, but she also left people speechless with her dress. She was dressed in Dior Haute Couture; think of her look as something similar to Keira Knightley’s in Atonement. It was a glittering forest-green slip dress with an enrobing dress coat.

2. Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie showed off her looks on the 2021 Golden Globes red carpet wearing Chanel. It was a black-and-white print dress with an off-the-shoulder detail. There was also a surprise slit that was thigh-high.

As an ambassador for Chanel, Robbie paired the gown with a logo-bearing leather Chanel belt, diamond Chanel earrings, a matching ring from the brand, and a shoulder bag with the signature jewel-encrusted entwined Cs.

3. Cynthia Erivo

Cynthia Erivo showed off wearing a bold-colored Valentino Haute Couture gown. The electric green, tea-length dress has extreme proportions and suited her perfectly. She paired the dress with platforms that were tall enough for Lady Gaga to notice her.

4. Satchel Lee

Satchel Lee attended the 2021 Golden Globes with her brother, Jackson. She wore a custom Gucci dress that resembles much of her own personal style.

5. Jackson Lee

Jackson Lee also wore Gucci to match his sister, Satchel Lee. The custom look that was designed by Alessandro Michele from Gucci also included a few personal styles from the star. The accessories and some special touches made his own style stand out.

6. Andra Day

Andra Day wore Chanel from the spring couture line that definitely highlighted her figure. The sequin macramé bodice was something similar to a gown that was worn by Billie Holiday in the past. Day ended up winning Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in The United States vs. Billie Holiday.

7. Josh O’Connor

The famous actor that is known for his role in The Crown, Josh O’Connor, wore a custom suit made by Loewe. He ended up winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series or Drama for his role as Prince Charles.
