The perfect look combines four essential components: low-key seduction (the rhinestone Old-English font spelling out Trapstar!), ease of movement (her light-wash baggy jeans!), masculine energy (an oversized denim coat!), and a touch of luxury (the Christian Dior logo tote!). Rihanna’s look, as you can see, checks all the above, while also channeling the ultimate in mid-2000s celebrity fashion.
It was just last April that Rihanna exhibited Big Ugg Energy with a pair of Y/Project’s thigh-high Ugg boots at Coachella. Months before that, in January, she wore (maybe?) the same pair of camel-colored Uggs to the airport paired with a Gucci western wear-themed puffer. In 2000, Oprah listed Uggs on her “Favorite Things” list, gifting a pair to her studio audience and launching the shoe to mainstream fame. Almost 20 years later, the worldwide symbol of music festivals and popular high-school girls everywhere still slaps.
Leave it to Rihanna to elevate the don’t care look to an art form.
