Rihanna Just Made Jeans and a T-Shirt Look Fancy With This Pretty Trend

You can always count on Rihanna to take a casual outfit and turn it into something wildly special, and she typically does so with eye-catching accessories, shoes, and outerwear. She's not one to ever shy away from wearing something bold, but this weekend, the item she wore was pretty and elegant, and it's poised to be one of the biggest trends of the season.
While out in Los Angeles, Rihanna was photographed wearing the most basic of outfit formulas: jeans and a white T-shirt. In this case, the item that she wore to turn the outfit into something night out–worthy represented the prettiest trend of the season: satin. With her oversize Adam Lippes coat (it's a good one), Rihanna made a case for adding elegant satin to your own spring and summer wardrobe. Scroll to do just that and to see the outfit with your own eyes.
On Rihanna: Adam Lippes coat; Balenciaga jeans; Gucci sunglasses and Crystal GG Mesh Slingback Pumps ($1190); Dior bag
