Rihanna is a true fashion chameleon: Regardless of whether she’s dressed up or dressed down, Rihanna always knows how to make sure that all eyes are on her–and her music videos are no exception!

However, of all of the videos she has released, the video “Only Girl (In the World)” is the one that stands out to me as the most inspirational, fashion-wise: Between its beautiful colors, all of the gorgeous flowers and natural scenery that serve as a backdrop, and, of course, Rihanna’s edgy-but-feminine looks, I can’t get enough of the free-spirited and romantic vibe that this video has going for it!

If you haven’t already, take a look at the video below, and then keep scrolling to see the “Only Girl (In The World)”-inspired looks that I’ve put together.

Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World)

Outfit #1

Products:  Camisole – J.Crew, Chelsea Boots – Gap, Shorts – South Moon Under, Hair Clips – Accessorize, Cardigan – Abercrombie & Fitch

This outfit is inspired by Rihanna’s corset, printed shorts, and cardigan ensemble from the video. To get a similar look, layer a light-colored cardigan, like this beige one, over a silky camisole, for an interesting mix of textures. (I chose a camisole over a corset because, let’s face it, corsets are neither practical nor appropriate for everyday situations!)  

Next, add a pair of flowy, floral-printed shorts with a flattering high-waisted silhouette. I love the ones above because they are surprisingly versatile: They can be paired with neutrals, brighter colors, or even another printed piece (as long as the other print is significantly bigger or smaller).

Finish off the look with a pair of ankle boots and some floral hair clips that are reminiscent of the video’s beautiful flowers, and you’ve got yourself a look that is the perfect mix of femininity and edginess for the upcoming Spring season!
