When it comes to off-duty style, many A-listers lean toward a simple, understated look: Zoë Kravitz in tank tops and worn-out flip-flops, Jennifer Lawrence in anything from The Row, and fans of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy keeping the quiet luxury trend alive. While ’90s minimalism has its place, Rihanna’s everyday wardrobe is anything but subtle.

Rihanna embraces megastar dressing perfectly, using rare accessories and custom couture to highlight her larger-than-life status. This week, she continued her one-woman mission to showcase the best-dressed baby bump, stepping out with a snakeskin, bamboo-handled leather bag from Gucci’s spring 1996 collection—a nod to Tom Ford’s glamorous era. She’s been seen with the same bag multiple times in 2022, proving that even with her more-is-more fashion philosophy, reusing and recycling are still part of the mix.

Rihanna’s growing collection of vintage Gucci would impress even the most dedicated resale shoppers. Along with the bamboo bag, she’s been spotted with other iconic pieces, like a classic 2000s horsebit clutch and some monogrammed velvet from the ’90s. As her due date gets closer, we can only imagine what’s next: maybe sharp tailoring from Haider Ackermann for her, and a mini Demna-inspired Gucci look for the baby?
