Rihanna’s Slip Dress & Fuzzy Bucket Hat Combo Is Straight From The ‘90s

Rihanna’s latest look is giving extreme ‘90s energy

On Wednesday, the singer and mogul stepped out with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in New York City, wearing a hot pink slip dress by Dior and matching necklaces, paired with Tom Ford gold heeled sandals and an embellished shoulder bag by Fendi. Completing the look with a hot pink, fuzzy bucket hat, RiRi appeared to channel Pamela Anderson at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.

The dress is indeed vintage, though from Dior’s 2002 collection. (While a staple of the ’90s, the popularity of the slip dress extended well into the ‘00s.) As you may be aware by now, Y2K fashion having a moment this season, and Rihanna seems to be ready to relive her Music of the Sun era all over again.  

Though it may seem like Rihanna is following the trends, we all know she’s the one that starts them. Back in December 2020, the Umbrella singer donned a similar green, fuzzy bucket hat, paired with rainbow-colored sunglasses and a black jacket, a look that appeared on Bella Hadid a few months later.

Pink is also turning into the color of the season after Kate Middleton and Jill Biden donned rose-colored outfits when they met earlier this month. According to Lyst, a global fashion search website, “hot pink” and “pink” searches spiked after the meeting. But (again) this is not the first time Rihanna’s donned head-to-toe pink. Some of her most iconic looks have featured the can’t-miss hue, including the Giambattista Valli dress she wore to the Grammy Awards in 2015 and the Hood By Air performance outfit she sported at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards

If you’re in the mood to channel Rihanna, ahead, affordable slip dress options to pick from.

The Best Brands To Score Deals On At Nordstrom Rack

The beauty of Nordstrom Rack can also be seen as one of its setbacks. The retailer's inventory of discounted goods from a seemingly endless list of brands is so vast that it can wear out the most fervent of online shoppers. But, instead of succumbing to its bottomless-sale pit, we decided to embrace it. Making the most of the site's savvy "Best Value" filter, we curated a hit-list of the most desirable deals on favorites from the likes of Everlane to Cole Haan and beyond.

Although lackadaisically perusing those IRL aisles or clicking hours away online is definitely its own form of retail therapy, sometimes scoring the best price on the best brand in one fell swoop is just what the shopping doctor ordered. We scoped out summer dresses for up to 70% off, Frye leather totes for 49% off, and other gems that deserve a top spot in your cart. Take a look ahead at all the must-have markdowns happening at Nordstrom Rack at any given moment. Brb while we dive back in to search for more.
