In the realm of fashion and beyond, Rihanna’s influence is astronomical. Truth be told, when has she ever not impressed us? The age-old mantra of “go big, or go home” unquestionably applies to Rihanna’s autumnal fashion choices – and why wouldn’t it be when her estimated net worth is $1.4 billion and she has access to each season’s most coveted looks mere moments after they hit the runway.
Her latest outfit reaffirms that one easy way to make an impact is to lean towards gargantuan, dramatic silhouettes, rather than relying on prints or bright colors. For dinner with friends in New York City, she wore a massive grey Dries Van Noten double-breasted floor-length coat, paired with black Balenciaga pantaboots. Her accessories were equally sizeable, as she carried a burgundy Intrecciato-weave Bottega Veneta clutch bag of colossal proportions and she topped it all off with a statement diamond necklace. While her overall look remained fairly simplistic, the star made certain that each separate element stood out, whether it was through its vibrant colour, unique texture, generous size or a blend of all the above.
The term “Rich Mom aesthetic” was, like the quiet luxury trend, inspired by the lifestyle choices of the super rich. The term originated on TikTok when Christina Najjar began sharing “Rich Mom starter pack” videos with her followers. “Being a Rich Mom – it’s a lifestyle,” she previously explained in an interview. “It’s an attitude. You can be a Rich Mom, whoever you are. It’s really more of an attitude of living well, getting a lot done, and having fun doing it.” A Rich Mom wardrobe might typically involve a lot of white jeans and oatmeal-hued cashmere, but Rihanna always does things her own way. And what is more Rich Mom than a Bottega clutch bag big enough for nappies, wet wipes and a handful of Fenty beauty products?
