Rihanna's Green Cover-Up, Savage x Fenty Bralette, and White Slides Look for Less

Rihanna Green Cover Up and Slide Sandals Look for Less
Rihanna is our poolside and beach babe inspiration in this neon green cover up, destroyed denim shorts, and dainty bralette! Her top is actually from her very own lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, which actually has super affordable and practical yet sexy pieces for all body shapes and sizes. She danced away in this ensemble and some fabulous white slide sandals by designer Amina Muaddi, so popular that her exact pair has sold out already, but the designer has an eclectic selection that will resonate with anyone who embraces the Rihanna risk-taker fashion sense...which you also can't do without bright, funky jewelry!
