For years, Rihanna has been at the forefront of the fashion scene. She may not bless fans with Instagram content as often anymore—and for a while she even seemed a bit MIA in general with the exception of press events for her now-paused luxury fashion label, FENTY — but if the last few months are any indication, we’re now headed for a new era in Rihanna street style.

As versatile as the 9-time Grammy Award winner may be when it comes to her style, you might be able to spot a few common themes when dissecting her fashion statements of a given time period. Touches of masculinity seem to be a key element at present, as well as some of the industry’s most buzzy young brands. Amina Muaddi and The Attico shoes, for example, are often on repeat in the singer’s wardrobe, while she’s also made appearances in brands such as Mowalola and Dion Lee.

Of course, where there’s Rihanna, there’s an outfit that comes with a hefty price tag. Granted, some of the pop star’s pieces possess the utmost uniqueness, but many of her looks aren’t without the ability to create on a more modest budget. When you’re crafty, it doesn’t quite take a $600 million net worth or an LVMH-backed fashion label to look the part. So if you’ve ever been inspired by the entrepreneur’s eccentric style (who hasn’t?), get ready to take notes!Here are 5 recent Rihanna street style moments you may have missed, and your guide to recreating them all without breaking the bank.

Rather than pairing the blazer with its matching flared pants, the singer opted instead for baggy jeans and Bottega Veneta mens’ loafers. We’re not saying she may be doing menswear better than the guys, but we’re not saying she’s not, either.Scroll down to shop this look!
