Metaphore MagazineWho says bathrobes are just for lounging at home? Rihanna is challenging the norms by proving that this cozy garment can indeed be elevated to formalwear.
At the conclusion of London Fashion Week, the singer and entrepreneur made a statement at Selfridges, celebrating the launch of her Fenty Hair line. For this special event, Rihanna chose a high-fashion version of the bathrobe—a custom piece from Simone Porte Jacquemus’s Fall 2024 collection, titled “La Casa.” This pale yellow, off-the-shoulder robe is adorned with recycled feathers, giving it a luxurious and fluffy appearance.
Stylist Jahleel Weaver played a key role in transforming Rihanna’s Jacquemus bathrobe from a casual garment into sophisticated evening attire. She paired the robe with elegant gold pointed-toe heels featuring a bejeweled ankle strap, along with dangling earrings. Rihanna’s attention to detail extended to her manicure, which was perfectly matched in a trendy butter-yellow hue to complement her outfit.
Rihanna isn’t the only one making a case for formal bathrobes. At the Cannes Film Festival, juror Isabelle Huppert also embraced this trend by wearing a bathrobe dress from Balenciaga. While Rihanna opted for an off-the-shoulder design, Demna’s creation for Huppert featured an elevated collar, showcasing another sophisticated take on the concept.
Rihanna and Isabelle Huppert’s choices suggest that bathrobes may be poised to become the next big trend in eveningwear, blending comfort with high fashion in unexpected ways.
