Rihanna is an undisputed style icon. Remember when her retro Puma Avanti trainers sent everyone racing to the stores? Well, this time, it’s no different. Spotted pounding the pavement in 2025’s biggest denim trend, Rihanna’s latest fashion find will no doubt give you denim envy.
Wide-legged jeans are the casual denim trend that will continue to dominate 2025, evolving from last year’s baggy Y2K style. The revival of 70s boho chic also means that the loose-fitting jeans trend is here to stay this season and it would appear Rihanna is already on board. The singer opted for an indigo blue pair for her outing in Los Angeles paired with a black cargo jacket with pockets. A cherry red tank top peeks out from underneath, which is colour-coordinated with her pointed, red shoes. To complete the look, Rihanna added large aviator sunglasses, chunky gold chains and a black bag.

These denim styles have been all over fashion weeks, with international tastemakers from Scandinavia to France making them their own. But one fashion trick they all employ to prevent from slipping too far into the hippy-verse is to combine the rest of the outfit with basics or minimalist pieces.
And the secret to Rihanna’s sleek and cool look? You might be surprised at how simple and ingenious the answer is. The singer makes use of the tried-and-tested and “sandwich styling” method. It’s not a literal sandwich, but the idea that imaginary “slices of bread” hold an outfit together from above and below, with matching elements from the top and bottom.

In Rihanna’s case, the styling is particularly ingenious, as the beauty entrepreneur did not rely on one piece of clothing, but on a lipstick and tank top that matched the colour of her shoes. So harmonious, so clever.
