Months after welcoming her third baby with A$AP Rocky, Rihanna is acing the street style game, and this time, she did it in a vintage Maison Margiela sweater vest. The singer has a penchant for all things vintage, and this new look has more than one nod to that styling choice. In addition to the archival vest, she carried a Dior Saddle bag adorned with the word “Dracula” — a nod to the novel by Bram Stoker.
Rihanna pairs vintage Maison Margiela sweater vest with Dior handbag for outing
Rihanna leaned into the gothic romance trend during a date night out with A$AP Rocky. On April 4, the couple was spotted en route to Siena, an Italian restaurant in Paris. The “Work” singer donned a maroon long-sleeve turtleneck and paired it with matching ALAÏA Cotton Twill Cargo Pants, worth $2,190. She layered the top with a vintage Oversized Destroyed Burgundy Sweater Vest. It was Look 13 from Maison Margiela’s Fall/Winter 2000 collection. As per 1stDibs, the currently sold-out distressed knit vest costs approximately $6,735.
The Fenty Beauty founder matched her crocodile-print pointed-toe pumps with her vest, keeping her overall look cohesive. The most striking detail of her look was the canary-yellow Dior book cover handbag she was carrying. The $5,000 Saddle Bag featured vibrant red stitching that matched the color of the word “Dracula” written across its top in all bold. Christian Dior’s initials in gold hardware attached the yellow strap to the purse. Not only did the accessory add a pop of color to her look, but it also gave a touch of gothic romance.
Furthermore, Rihanna was wearing a gold necklace and holding a pair of black sunglasses in one hand. She wore her long black hair in loose waves with a middle part. Her makeup was simple, with rosy blush and a pink lip. A$AP Rocky complemented the dark-toned aesthetic in a textured overcoat with a robe-like silhouette, finished with a sleek black leather bag.
