Rihanna is yet another celebrity to get on board the vintage train. For the premiere of Queen & Slim in Los Angeles, the singer went for a Japanese-inspired look in a kimono style coat from the spring-summer 1995 Misia Diva collection by John Galliano. The Barbadian singer had picked up the stylish item at William Vintage, the famous designer vintage boutique in Marylebone, London.
The design was first worn by model Marie Sophie-Wilson during one of the British-Spaniard’s first catwalk shows back in the nineties. Showing off her shapely legs, Rihanna paired it with diamond and onyx necklaces, Manolo Blahnik sandals and a small Jimmy Choo purse.

The Barbadian singer has joined a growing number of celebrities who have chosen outfits with a history instead of pieces straight off the latest catwalks. And she’s certainly shown that choosing vintage is the perfect choice for special occasions.

Kim Kardashian is another firm fan of vintage structurized outfits that show off her curves from brands such as Versace, Alaïa and Thierry Mugler. She also goes for more demure styles such as this one by John Galliano for House of Dior, which formed part of the fall/winter 1997 collection that she wore to the American Influencer Awards.

Kim’s sister Kylie has also succumbed to the vintage trend. To celebrate her 21st birthday in 2018, Kylie Jenner chose a one-shoulder, sparkling vintage dress from the Italian label Gucci, which was first seen on Jacquetta Wheeler in the spring/summer 2000 catwalk show.
