Posing in a bathroom just got Rihanna’s fashionable seal of approval. At the UK launch of her new venture, Fenty Hair, the global superstar stepped outside Selfridges in London, transforming an everyday household item into red carpet-worthy couture. Instead of opting for her usual satin, silk, or sequins, Rihanna rocked a cream-colored fluffy bathrobe designed by Jacquemus. Styled by Jaheel Weaver, she completed the look with gold point-toe pumps and long crystal earrings, perfectly blending comfort with luxury.
The robe, part of Jacquemus’ Fall-Winter 2024 collection, first hit the runway in June during the brand’s Capri show. On the catwalk, it evoked the vision of a wealthy Italian woman lounging in her mansion. But on Rihanna, with her sleek black waves and full glam makeup, the robe evolved into a statement piece that brought casual elegance to the red carpet.
This isn’t the first time a housecoat has been elevated to haute couture status. In 2017, Rita Ora donned a white toweling robe and towel-turban at the MTV EMAs, dripping in diamonds, while Isabelle Huppert brought a fluffy Balenciaga robe to the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. These looks highlight a growing trend of turning cozy staples into high-fashion statements.
With Rihanna’s latest look, even the humble bathrobe is now glamorous, inviting us all to feel red carpet-ready from the comfort of home.
