Rihanna’s daring mix of pearls, sneakers, and a teddy bear coat defines celebrity cool

Celebrity style often defies conventional norms, captivating our attention with ensembles that seem inaccessible for everyday wear. Take Jennifer Lopez with her rare Birkin bag at pilates class, Kim Kardashian’s bedazzled stiletto clutch, or Rihanna’s pairing of diamonds with leggings. While these outfits may lack practicality, they possess a captivating “celebrity cool” that sets them apart. Rihanna, in particular, embodies this trend, often mixing gemstones with athleisurewear.Recently in Los Angeles, Rihanna showcased her signature style by combining her Fenty x Puma creepers with vintage Jean Galliano for Christian Dior pearls and a sheer Khaite top, all topped off with an oversized teddy bear coat. Her ability to make lingerie, jeans, sneakers, and pearls seem coherent is quintessentially Rihanna.

Highlighting an exquisite piece from Jean Galliano’s 2007 Couture show—a pearl choker with an extended string cascading down her décolletage—Rihanna effortlessly channeled the opulence of the collection, fitting for a style icon of her stature.What sets her look apart is not just the vintage pull but also the intriguing styling. Layering a black balconette-style teddy negligee under a half-blazer, half-teddy bear coat, she paired it with baggy jeans and her newly released Fenty x Puma creepers in black and white. This daring choice for a visit to the Roc Nation office sparks curiosity—could new music be in the works, or is this merely a casual office ensemble for RiRi? Regardless, it’s a striking look that resonates with her authentic style.
