Rihanna’s Balenciaga toe shoes and Bella in Margiela: the week’s best looks

As most of us prepare for a return to sweatpants circa second lockdown, celebs are turning looks while they still can

3November 2020

As announcements of second lockdowns reverberate dismally around Europe, our days of turning looks – before the 10pm curfew at least – are well and truly numbered. With a return to seen-better-days sweatpants and stretched-out, scuzzy tees on the horizon, we’ve rounded up some of our fave looks from the past week while we still can.

Who’s on the line-up? In outfits we wish we could recreate, Kaia Gerber dressed up as Priscilla Presley in Charlotte Knowles, while Barbie Ferreira threw on an all red look from Matthew Williams’ debut at Givenchy. At the more realistic end of the scale, Rosalía, Beabadoobee, and La’Shaunae provided inspo for our future grocery runs, neighbourhood walks, and TikTok scrolls in elevated everyday looks.

Going beyond just OOTD, our faves also encouraged fans to vote in the US presidential election through their fits – Bella Hadid topped off her MM6 x The North Face vest jacket with an ‘I VOTED’ sticker, and Lizzo literally wore an American flag corset (we really wouldn’t have expected anything less from her). As always, there was also an ode to Telfar, this time from FKA twigs.

Click through the gallery below to catch up on a selection of this week’s best looks.

Lizzo

Just before dressing as the famous fly on Mike Pence’s head for Halloween, Lizzo posed in an American flag corset on Instagram serving, as she says, ‘Auntie Sam Realness.’

@badgalriri

Rihanna

This week, Rihanna has officially convinced us that Balenciaga’s AW20 rubber toe shoes retailing for £895 are a necessary purchase. The apocalypse looks weirder than we thought.

Iris Law

Iris Law spent her birthday in a colourful Marc Jacobs look on the coast. If that’s not pure heaven, what is? (sorry).

@luhshawnay

La’Shaunae

The model wore her own brand’s red flames long sleeved tee, black jeans and black slides on Instagram – the perfect everyday look inspo.

@quillemons

Quil Lemons

Fashion photographer Quil Lemons demonstrates a look we truly aspire to emulate during the second lockdown – lounging on his kitchen table with a Versace hoodie, black leather trousers, loafers, and a bucket hat, glass of wine in hand. Casual.

@beadadoobee

Beabadoobee

The singer has mastered the art of the messy bedroom mirror selfie – dressed in a frilly mini skirt, tee and cropped green zip-up hoodie. We will be copying.

@rosaliavt

Rosalía

This week Rosalía sat on a stoop wearing head to toe sky blue courtesy of Nike with a matching cloud print Tommes basketball bag. Perhaps inspo for Instagram content during the second lockdown?

Devon Lee Carlson

Devon Lee Carlson stole the hearts of the entire internet again, this time wearing a backless black dress for an OOTD lensed by Lauren Leekley last week.

@matieresfecales

Steven Raj Bhaskaran

The Fecal Matter designer looked like somewhere between an apocalyptic angel and club kid in their SS21 collection available exclusively on Depop.

@bellahadid

Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid hit the polls this weekend layered up in a cosy green MM6 x The North Face gilet, with 2020’s favourite accessory, the I VOTED sticker. Gigi Hadid commented, ‘PROUUUDDD,’ on the post – and honestly, same.

Harry Styles

Arguably the best news of this week came when Harry Styles' car broke down and the singer had to knock on a fan’s door for help. Wearing white flare trousers (similar to his outfit cover) and a stripey top, he fed the fan’s fish and signed her Harry Styles record collection. We just wish it was us.

LoveLeo

“Glasses from a racecar driver, shorts from a pole vaulter, and some of the rings from La Manso,” the LoveLeo commented on his post. That pretty much covers it.

@kaiagerber

Kaia Gerber

The supermodel and her boyfriend, Euphoria’s Jacob Elrodi, channelled Priscilla and Elvis Presley in custom Charlotte Knowles fits, and, tbh, it was kind of iconic?

@barbieferreira

Barbie Ferreira

The Euphoria star appeared in Givenchy’s controversial social media campaign in a red silk dress with hanging chains (perfect inspo for all the night outs we can’t have right now). Say what you want about the campaign, but Barbie can do no wrong.
