Rihanna’s laid back sunny selfie is enough to make you long for hot summer days by the beach, cocktail in hand and fab sunglasses to boot! These oversized round gold frames with a brown tint look fantastic with plenty of gold jewellery and a glossy lip, they suit her style perfectly and are ideal for summer holidays.

We’re not too sure where these glasses are from, but we’ve found a very close match with the Escada SES859

Ever the style chameleon Rihanna looks edgy and effortlessly cool as the face of Dior with a chic blunt bob, bold lips and statement shades.

The DiorReflected frame is a great match with the metalic face and cool double bridge, you’ll be chanelling your inner diva in no time!

Appearing again as the face of Dior, Rihanna wears the DiorMirrored frame with rose tinted lenses and a pretty pink lip. She shows her softer side as the rose tint gives a feminine glow to her face combined with her sleek wavy hair and girly earrings.

Follow her style and add a tint, or leave the original lenses in for an edgier look!

4.  Classic Wayfarer

The Ray Ban Original Wayfarer never goes out of style, they have a cool retro feel making it easy to add a stylish twist to any outfit.

This frame has been worn by some of the most fashionable people in history such as President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe as well as more current celebs like David Beckham and of course Rihanna! You can never go wrong with a classic.

5.  Sassy Cat-Eye

With a Dior bag and a slick of lipstick who wouldn’t be ready to conquer the world!
