Ask any member of Generation Y who they look to for style ideas, and you re likely to hear them say Rihanna. The Bajan pop queen and stylist Mel Ottenberg are known for changing the game with a truly fashion-forward wardrobe, but even Rihanna searches for inspiration sometimes by channeling various supermodels. Stepping out to the Valerian after-party at London s Saint Martins Lane hotel last night, she chose a slinky silver slip by Nili Lotan. With its retro vibe and skin-baring sex appeal, the dress called to mind the barely there looks worn by Kate Moss in the mid-90s.
Paired with a coordinating oversize Prada windbreaker and metallic Sergio Rossi sandals, Rihanna’s slip had a casual vibe that separated it from both the couture she had worn earlier that day and the dressier feel of Moss’s vintage pieces. Putting a fresh spin on a classic look isn t easy, but Rihanna s can always take a great reference and make it her own.
