Silk scarves have become the accessory du jour for many celebrities as of late. Jennifer Lawrence is wearing hers like belts or wrapping them around her waist like a sarong. Rosé is tying them onto her purse straps, while Charli XCX is draping them across her body like a cape.
Of course, one of the strongest advocates for the scarf trend is none other than Rihanna, who has worn these foulards as tops, skirts, and everything in between. And over the weekend, the trendsetting superstar embraced the silk scarf’s sartorial cousin—the bandana—to subtly transform her entire outfit.

Rihanna steps out in New York City on Sunday, April 12.
Arriving in New York City on Sunday, the “Diamonds” singer embraced many of her stylistic hallmarks—statement outerwear, oversize sunglasses, an enviable handbag (here, she carried one of her recent favorites, the Dracula book tote from Dior by Jonathan Anderson). But it was the bandana that truly stole the show.
Her look consisted of a slate-colored vest, paired with matching gray sweatpants and cloudy snakeskin sneakers. Over her gray separates, Rihanna wore a camel-colored coat with puffy gray fur trim, and in her hand, she carried her Dior tote with a Yankees baseball cap secured around one of the straps.
However, even with all these winning pieces at play, it was her midnight-blue, paisley bandana that put the perfect finishing touch on the ensemble, adding a casual, ’90s spin that could translate easily from the Big Apple streets to an Italian seaside.
Over the years, Rihanna has taught us many things about dressing, but perhaps the most important lesson is that accessorizing is everything.
