OK, Rihanna [1], what's back in style: head-to-toe python, the bucket hat [2], or both? The songstress and entrepreneur stepped out in Sydney, Australia, to celebrate the anniversary of her Fenty Beauty line [3], and she chose a memorable look for a memorable evening. Rihanna threw it back to the early aughts in an Atelier Versace combo consisting of a strapless minidress and cap, but the Christian Louboutin ankle-strap pumps and matching Mark Cross mini bag [4] were her own additions.
The all-out animal print immediately reminded us of Jennifer Lopez's blue Dsquared2 ensemble [5] from 2014, which she wore to an American Idol photocall. But the trend even harks back to the '90s [6], when the Spice Girls were sporting [7] the snake pattern on crop top and bell-bottom pant sets, along with lingerie slips.
If, like us, you appreciate a good throwback, whether it's on the carpet or the street, you'll love admiring Rihanna's latest — accessorized with diamonds from Chopard — and comparing it to J Lo's similar moment. And if all that nostalgia sparks enough excitement, you just might want to tap into this whole python thing with a new dress too.
