Rihanna was wearing baggy jeans long before they were a trend. Designers waved a firm farewell to skinnies during the spring/summer 2021 season

With key industry players, including Chanel and Balenciaga, favouring louche denim styles.

Autumn/winter 2021 and the recent spring/summer 2022 shows further fuelled the baggy jeans hype.

Molly Goddard teamed her signature bombastic tulle creations and smock tops with acid-wash denim for spring/summer 2022

Rejina Pyo showed bright blue baggy jeans with oversized trench coats, and Peter Do featured a pair of easy jeans in his debut runway showcase.

Back to Rih. Baggy jeans have become a key staple in her off-duty wardrobe.

Second only to her current obsession with mini skirts, relaxed trousers are a certified bad gal essential. And no one wears them quite like Rih.

Take a look she modelled earlier this month, for example. She pepped up a grungy Gucci pair of jeans with a crop top, layered chains and a chunky Celine cardigan.

Days later, she wore the same style with a Dries Van Noten checked bucket hat and Vans sneakers.

Ripped pairs are among her favourite pairs. AKGS

Up there among her greatest outfits of 2021 is a sunny look that she wore to dinner in August.

Rih rocked Balenciaga’s offbeat Hybrid jeans layered over checkerboard Raf Simons boxers, styled with a scarf top by her former Fenty team member Conner Ives

A patterned headscarf, a camo Dior bowling bag and glistening gold Tom Ford sandals.

A trucker hat (worn backwards, of course), sunnies and carrying her sunshine-yellow Bottega Veneta Pouch.
