On Tuesday, our Queen Rihanna was spotted in New York City wearing statement oversized sunglasses, but forget that it was already dark out—something else was way more notable about these frames. The glasses had the word 'Fenty' etched on the side, and of course, fans (myself included, naturally) are going crazy with speculation that she could be dropping an accessory line.
She wore them again on Wednesday with a corduroy jacket and hoop earrings, and the name is on full display. According to Hypebae, sunglasses are, in fact, an item protected under a Fenty trademark that was filed last year, and RiRi is a pro at teasing products before their launch. Remember when she sneakily wore Savage X Fenty lingerie before it was even released?
She's had major success in both the fashion and beauty world over the last couple years between her Fenty PUMA collection, Fenty Beauty, and size-inclusive lingerie. (She's also in the midst of suing her father for misusing the 'Fenty' brand name) But if this sighting is any indication she's expanding her empire to include eyewear, judging from her previous business ventures, it'll no doubt be a success.
A representative was contacted for comment, and this post will be updated pending a response.
