Rihanna Brings Fanny Packs Back

Rihanna's fashionable fanny pack. Photo: INF

Rihanna loves to push the envelope -- from her near-daily hairstyle changes, to her numerous fashion "oops" moments, to her trend-setting makeup.

But a fanny pack? Really?

It looks that way. The star was spotted strolling around London this week packin' fanny for all to see. She wore a long-sleeve multicolored mini dress with padded shoulders (very '80s, as Rihanna tends to sway these days), with a beige tasseled fanny pack on her left hip.

Granted, it was a Louis Vuitton fanny pack.

But does that even make it right?

We can remember our first fanny pack vividly (after all, it was neon pink!). But we retired that nylon monstrosity decades ago, and never looked back. So even though tapered pants, shoulder pads, and jeggings are back in style, is the fanny pack really comeback material?

Leave a comment and let us know if Rihanna is making you want to rock a 'pack or if you think this trend is best left to the original episodes of 90210.

I love the fanny pack! If its fashionable and not too bulky, why not have a bag slung around your waist? It frees up your hands and shoulders and can look very chic if done well.

RI RI IS AMAZING IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE WORD. AS FAR AS FANNY PACKS..CERTAIN STYLES ARE ACCEPTABLE. AS LONG AS IT ISNT TOO RETRO IT SHOULD BE OK. SHE HAS MORE OF THE MODERN STYLE AND THE COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL. AND PLUS ITS LOUIS V..U CANT GO WRONG WITH THAT. SO SHE WINS IN MY BOOK! KEEP WORKIN IT RI RI:)
