Rihanna is no stranger to a street style snap. The singer-turned-beauty-mogul is regularly spotted in effortlessly cool looks that marry luxe labels with a practical flair—she is pregnant with her third child, after all. But her latest LA appearance has caught the eye of many a fashion fan, shooting straight to the top of summer style moodboards everywhere thanks to her chic sundress, classic trainers, and throw-on baseball cap ensemble.

The star of the show? A ruffled, strapless cotton dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, which has already sold out in most sizes on both Net-a-Porter and the brand’s own site. Now that Rihanna has come out a fan, any remaining stock isn’t likely to last long.

So why all the buzz? Beyond the fact that it’s crafted from 100% cotton—a summer essential—and comes in that perennially popular beige tone, it’s the versatility that really sets this dress apart. Style it with strappy metallic sandals and a clutch for an elevated evening look, or do as Rihanna does: keep it casual with trainers, a cap, and a roomy everyday bag (hers is Schiaparelli’s latest gym bag, available exclusively in-store).

As for the footwear, she's wearing the new-season Puma Speedcatsin brown suede—a revived ‘90s style that’s fast becoming a go-to for women who favour comfort and cool. Below, the key pieces to recreate the look.
