My financial allegiance to Rihanna tops out at about $24. That’s the cost of a Fenty Beauty Stunna lip paint. However if for some reason I did want to spend thousands of dollars to take a fancy business meeting dressed like Mrs. Murdock from Grease, I’d look no further than Rihanna’s newly launched LVMH Fenty luxury fashion line. RiRi shared a sneak peak of the line which according to Financial Times includes items ranging from “€200 for a corset T-shirt to €1,100 for a reversible coat” (that’s about $225 to $1, 230 USD), or 8-50 Stunnas!
The Financial Times describes the collection as “a wardrobe for someone who wants to be taken seriously, but still wants to feel their vibe” as long as their vibe is Rihanna’s vibe, and not all of us are that lucky. Some people who want to be taken seriously’s vibe is more “anything left that’s size XL on the clearance rack at Anthropologie“.
Here are tailored blazers in taupe or pink cotton with bumbag belts attached; a boned shirt has a sculptural, romantic sleeve; Japanese denim jackets and shirt dresses are either designed to cinch the waist and short short short, or voluminous and oversized; a cotton bodysuit has a bustier neckline and a saucy sensibility.
Here’s a look at what’s been keeping Rihanna from giving the girls the bops they wanted this summer.
It’s not so bad. Unlike with Justin Bieber’s Drew collection, I’d be mad if I spilled bong water all over myself while wearing this. I was worried when I saw these 1980s Chrysler LeBaron tail light sunglasses.
But even it they’re not for me, I can see somebody other than Rihanna pulling these off. And the clothes look comfortable and will be available in sizes up to a “French 46” which sounds like a delightful champagne cocktail but is actually about a US size 14. So I could actually fit in these clothes 10-15 years ago.
I’m sure Fenty fashion will be a big success. However I’m still left scratching my head trying to figure out what occasion would call for an oversized shiny suit with an attached fanny pack.
Is she a waitress in a greasy spoon diner with 3 Michelin stars? Anyway, if you have a few thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket and and you want to go out and intimidate children at a water park, the current Fenty collection can be purchased online starting May 29th.
