Like Rihanna, See the World Through Yellow-Tinted Glasses
Are yellow lens sunglasses the next big eyewear trend?
When Rihanna declares that something is in style, we all need to listen. Like the fashion icon she is, the singer has a unique eye to spot growing trends—or to generate them herself. As of this week, the trend of the moment is yellow lens sunglasses.
While in London, Rihanna attended the launch of the new Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty shoes, wearing a monochrome ensemble by New York-based brand Peter Do. From the designer’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, the singer chose a stone-colored coat with an extreme oversized fit, paired with a taupe bottom-up and matching pants. The loose fit of this chic set combined perfectly with her long locks of blonde hair, which were surprisingly complemented with choppy bangs, a cut we haven’t seen in the singer in a while.
When it comes to accessories, Rihanna made both expected and unexpected decisions. Rihanna also complemented her maxi-sized suit with an effortless stack of golden necklaces that fell stylishly on the neck and accentuated her vibrant red lips. But that’s not all—the star finished her look with a pair of tortoiseshell-wrapped shades featuring bold yellow-tinted sunglasses. Designed by Tom Ford, these chunky shades were a striking addition to her sleek, monotone outfit. Considering Rihanna’s influence on fashion, we would not be surprised to see yellow lens sunglasses take over summer 2024. Ahead of the sunny season, L’OFFICIEL curated a selection of the most stylish yellow-colored shades to accessorize any look, à la Rihanna.
