Rihanna is never one to shy away from bold accessories, and with her latest look, she dresses up a casual night out look with signature stones. It’s well-documented that the musician has a penchant for pearls. Whether she’s dressed in vintage Chanel or performng at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, the 35-year-old has made her love of the retro accessory known. And now, she’s taken the look to a whole new level.
In Los Angeles last night, the star was photographed arriving at Jay-Z’s Roc Nation office wearing the perfect winter going-out ensemble. With her new honey-blonde hair in a top bun, she stunned in a double-breasted overcoat by Junya Watanabe, a lingerie-style top by Khaite, and extra baggy, low-rise jeans from Agolde. She naturally opted for her Fenty x Puma creeper sneakers for footwear.
But the pièce de résistance? Her statement layers of pearls that draped her neck and décolletage.
The starring jewellery piece (seen in photographs here) was a multi-strand choker style necklace—an archival Christian Dior piece from John Galliano’s Spring 1997 Haute Couture show. It’s speculated that it might be the very one that just sold on 1stDibs for a whopping $18,500.
Riri isn’t the only one who’s enjoyed archive Dior bling. In a poetic twist, supermodel Gigi Hadid wore the same layered choker to attend Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 in September 2021. It looks like great minds think alike.
