Rihanna Takes on the Scarf-As-Skirt Trend in the Most Rihanna Way Possible

Rihanna’s maternity fashion knows no bounds: pajamas-as-daywear (Savage x Fenty, of course), bump-exposing hoodies and low-rise denim, undulating archival pleats via the runway of Issey Miyake. Whether she’s hitting up Giorgio Baldi for her favorite plates of pasta in extreme-below-the-bump dressing via some avant-garde Alaïa or running errands, shopping in Paris with son Riot Rose, or checking out baby clothes for her forthcoming third child with A$AP Rocky—just trust Rihanna is never resting on her laurels when it comes to pregnancy style.

Rih has now turned her hand to one of the breakout trends of the summer—the scarf as skirt. It’s a look that’s dominated both celebrity and street style, from Copenhagen Fashion Week to the streets of Brooklyn, as seen on Kylie Jenner in Tuscany, Jennifer Lawrence in NYC, Alexa Chung in London, and Vogue editors internationally.

Photographed out running errands in Beverly Hills with Rocky, Rihanna wore an oversized white t-shirt with a graphic silk scarf in stripes of red, blue, pink, orange, and yellow, with gold print details. The skirt was tied at the waist, hiked up from her knee to her hip to keep things easy breezy. She styled the look with a multi-colored, embroidered vintage Fendi baguette bag, pronged, cleat-like white jelly sandals from her recent collab with Puma, cat-eye sunglasses, and layers of gold necklaces, including a favorite Renato Cipullo “R” pendant.
