Rihanna returned to her native country Barbados for the Fenty Beauty launch, where she opened two stores on the island and did a meet & greet with fans.
For the joyous moment, RiRi opted for a soft yellow Zimmermann Spring ’25 look that consisted of a chiffon fabric and had an intricate knitted bodice. The flowy bohemian style was high-low, showcasing Rihannas black sandals and all white pedicure.
Her glam was very natural and glowy demonstrating the benefits of her Fenty Beauty moisturizer that is literally a game-changer. Curly in texture, with the perfect volume to shape her face, her bob hair cut was flattering with her dress silhouette.
Although Rihanna has reached stardom, success and financial freedom early on in her career, she’s still so humble and personable which is why her fans find her to be so relatable. You can literally sense that she has a genuine spirit so with her beauty and success combined, she’s a triple threat.

Mini bags have truly become a wardrobe essential combining function and fashion. These little accessories can enhance the outfit, perhaps infusing a dose of personality or a touch of sophistication. On the other hand, this style is a little more difficult to pull off. Here are some pointers on what to do and what not to do when pairing mini bags with your outfits.
Do’s of Pairing Mini Bags with Outfits
1. Do Consider the Occasion
When you’re choosing a mini bag, it all depends on where you are going. A shiny glam mini bag is great for the club, but not for the boardroom. For more formal events, women’s bags—mini bags in particular—look most polished when crafted from luxe materials like leather or satin.
2. Do Play with Color
These beautiful bags can add color to your all-black attire without making you look overly dressed. A neon mini bag can be your statement piece if you wear neutrals. On the other hand, if your attire involves a vibrant hue then you can carry a mini bag which complements it color wise.
3. Do Balance Proportions
A small bag can appear out of place if you are tall or sporting an oversized outfit. Opt for a slightly bigger mini bag or add an eccentric one to even out your outfit. A micro mini bag can be great too, especially if you are petite.
4. Do Mix Textures
If you are into textures, a mini bag can give you a deeper look. Think of crocodile, suede or even feathered bags. This way, you are able to achieve an interesting visual effect since the texture of your clothes will contrast against that of your bag.
5. Do Keep It Simple
Sometimes, less is more. A neatly designed, small bag can be the right choice to accessorize your outfit. Find time-tested shape and color variations that will suit a diverse array of styles.
Don’ts of Pairing Mini Bags with Outfits
1. Don’t Overstuff Your Bag
The mini bags are tiny for a reason. If you try to cram too much in, the bags end up stretched out of shape and look hefty. So, use it to carry only the essentials: mobile, cards, and a lipstick.
2. Don’t Ignore Functionality
Mini bags are made for fashion but must also be functional. Your mini bag should have enough pockets to help you stay organized and a closure that ensures your belongings are secure.
3. Don’t Accidentally Mix Patterns
If your outfit has a bold pattern, wearing a mini bag of different (clashing) pattern can cause chaos. Instead, go for a monochrome bag or choose one which makes the patterns you’re wearing pop.
4. Don’t Forget About Straps
The straps of your mini bag can also add to the outfit. A chain strap will look more elegant, while leather offers a casual style. While deciding on a length, remember that the apparel should fit your body and silhouette well.
5. Diversify Your Style
There are mini bags for every need, from the crossbody to the top handle. You do not have to stick to just one mini bag style. Of course, change it up depending on your outfit style and where you’re going.
Final Words
Mini bags are one of those versatile accessories that can elevate pretty much any outfit, if worn correctly. With these mini bag do’s and don’ts, you’re set to strut mini bags with confidence, knowing they’ll only augment (and never detract from) your outfit. The key here is finding a happy medium between form and function so that your mini bag can be both functional and fashionable.
From thin-wired glasses to tortoiseshell frames and the classic aviator style, fashionistas can choose from different eyeglasses silhouettes and frame patterns. This humble accessory has a kind of transformational power, capable of leveling up your individual style.
Prominent fashion icons like Iris Apfel know this, often donning oversized statement glasses that echo her eccentric character. Figures like Apfel exemplify that glasses do more than enhance vision; they’re an extension of your personality. If you’re on the hunt for new glasses or want to refresh your look, use this guide to help you choose a pair that expresses who you are. Here are four of the most popular glasses styles and what they say about your personality.
Trendy glasses styles and what they say about you
Slim wireframes
Taken straight from mid-2000s romcoms, slim wire-framed glasses are the centerpiece of the snarky corporate secretary fashion trend. Glasses in this style are the go-to for chic dressers who see trends coming from a mile away. They’re always on TikTok, hunting for the next hot accessory. They take fashion cues from stylish influencers like Amelia Gray, and their Spotify Wrapped boasts that they are in the top 1% of listeners for Billie Eilish. Sleek glasses like the Clearly Star or the Oakley OY3003 Flip Kick encapsulate this too-cool-to-care vibe, complete with blue-light filters or progressive lenses. Don’t even bother telling them that they left the sticker on their brand-new librarian-esque frames; they are there for aesthetic purposes à la Bella Hadid.
Clear acetate frames
Clear acetate frames embody a seamless fusion of modernity and timeless elegance. Large, transparent frames like the Westport glasses by Michael Kors suggest a wearer with a penchant for understated sophistication, someone unafraid to embrace the purity of design without sacrificing flair. That’s probably why easygoing celebs like Modern Family’s Ty Burrell love to sport clear frames both off and on the red carpet, though he has been known to wear similarly chunky frames in black, as seen during the cast’s reunion at the SAG Awards 2024. Lovers of this style spend their weekends at the museum or a friend’s art gallery. As purists, they take their coffee black and scoff at anything that’s not from a third-wave artisanal coffee shop.
Tortoiseshell frames
You can never go wrong with tortoiseshell-patterned glasses. Often characterized by warm hues and captivating swirls reminiscent of the reptile for which they’re named, trendy tortoiseshell glasses convey a person grounded in classic sensibilities. At the same time, they’re someone who isn’t afraid of embracing the avant-garde. As seen in styles like the sleek Britt frames by Kam Dhillon and the chunky Thursday from Main and Central, tortoiseshell glasses come in varying silhouettes, so they probably own more than one pair of tortoiseshell spectacles. Moreover, bold prints are the new staples of the “It Girl” style, so you can expect to see a lot of animal prints and textures on tortoiseshell glasses wearers, put together in playful ways.
Cat-eye frames
Cat-eye silhouettes exude femininity and are the frame of choice for individuals who are the life and soul of a party. They love a good bargain, so of course, they have Eyebuydirect’s Kieran frames in both clear pink and orange. They’re partial to thrifted clothing that they rework on their vintage sewing machine passed down from grandma. It’s also no coincidence that the wearer is a cat parent; that’s just their sense of humor. While they may be the life of the party, they also love cozying up at home to read and sip on some herbal tea.
Glasses can tell a lot about the wearer’s personality. Whether they gravitate towards transparent frames, tortoiseshell patterns, cat-eye silhouettes, or slim wire frames, glasses are an accessory that can show the world who you are.
