Arguably the most trendsetting pop star, Rihanna, did not disappoint with her attention-seeking fashion at New York Fashion Week. Talented and able to make heads turn ever since she came into the limelight, she has made very bold statements of fashion. She had been among the most discussed events of the week and eventually belted both high-end luxury and style with much ease. However, what really caught the eyes of onlookers was the over-the-top outfit she had donned-a real showstopper topped off with a $20K coat and more than $600K of flashy diamonds.
The fashion-forward singer entered in an extra large faux fur coat, buttoned and in soft cream, worth a whopping $20,000. It was an opulent number without running out of style from the reputation Rihanna had built for pushing high-fashion limits. Sleek minimalist undergarments supported it from underneath, with diamonds adding a touch of glamour. Perfect-a global style icon.
But it wasn’t just the coat that spoke volumes. Rihanna further accoutred herself in more than $600K worth of blinged diamonds, her way of making a statement regarding how much she loves bold accessories. The diamonds, of course-in layer-upon-layer necklaces, earrings, and bracelets-just continued that added layer of opulence on top of what was an extra outfit in and of itself. Each one balanced the total aesthetic to reach a pinnacle of glamour.
Rihanna’s outing at NYFW had far greater meaning than simply a fashion statement from the singer and actress; it brought into the minds of her fans the influence she had on the fashion world. After all, she is the brains behind Fenty-a pavement luxury brand that’s been modernizing fashion by pushing boundaries, mixing haut MONDE with street style, and inclusivity. Be it via one of her history-making runway shows or via bold personal style, Rihanna dominated the conversation during Fashion Weeks.
It is the latest look that proves Rihanna is on top, and when it comes to music and fashion, she is a force with which to be reckoned. The $20K coat, the large drops of diamonds-it all reflected the meaning of this one word: luxury. The one thing certain, as NYFW continues on, is that the fashion choices of Rihanna will indeed be one of many true highlights, placing her in a category of true fashion icon.
