Fashion round-up: Monochrome and oversized!

Trendsetters Victoria Beckham and Rihanna appeared to be in superior spirits as they stepped out looking every inch the style icons they are. Channeling impeccable fashion techniques, these showstoppers rocked oversized, monochromatic ensembles that radiated class and composure simultaneously.

Victoria Beckham



Mrs Beckham was as welcome as the sunshine in a memorable monochromatic ensemble in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood on Thursday. The 43-year-old designer rocked a bright yellow oversized trenchcoat that comprised chunky dark buttons, a hefty crisp collar and relaxed sleeves — all this, over a matching dress that sealed the deal! The timeless mother-of-four wore her brunette bob down in an unfussy, natural wind-swept style and showcased a $450 pair of her favourite Celine sunglasses. The former Spice Girl jazzed things up by adding height to her petite frame; courtesy of a chic pair of nude stilettos that we wanted to steal!

Rihanna



The 28-year-old singing sensation was sass personified as she was spotted in London, having dinner with a pal on Thursday. Garbed in an oversized all-black guise, the Umbrella hit-maker lured a rain of spectators and awe-struck fans. Working understated chic to excellence, the Work star donned velvet black over-the-knee boots folded down to reveal a glimpse of her gym-honed quads. She coordinated the statement-making boots with a roomy black t-shirt, dressing the ensemble up with a choker and an endearing Louis Vuitton box clutch bag. Rocking her trademark vivid red pout, Rihanna kept her make-up minimal, letting her arresting green eyes do all the schmoozing.
