Rihanna Wore the Animal Print Trend That Took Over 2025 Runways

Western-bound!

top 2025 trend

The desert is on everyone's minds this time of the year. Whether you're headed to the Coachella Valley, scored tickets to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, or just wish you could go to either, the West is gaining steam as fashion's go-to source of inspiration. Take Rihanna's latest look, for example, which heavily featured one of the year's top Western-inspired runway trends: snake print.

On April 6, the singer-turned-mogul was spotted in Santa Monica wearing a full California desert outfit. She paired her Celine flare jeans with a gray snake print bomber jacket and matching pointy-toe heel boots. The cool-toned look was also layered with a gray T-shirt under her baggy jacket.

While snake print may seem out of left field at a time when leopard print is the dominating animal print trend, Riri is known for being ahead of the curve. She's actually sporting one of spring/summer 2025's biggest runway trends, Gigi Hadid Convinced Me That Everyone and Their Mother Should Buy These Ageless Jeans.

The desert getaway feel of spring break and festival season is definitely a good time to try this trend. While Rihanna went for a bomber jacket and boots, there's no shortage of ways to add a pop of snake print in your wardrobe, whether it's a cascading sleeve boho top or a pair of high-waisted pants, the print adds an edgy twist to an otherwise Americana-heavy look. And while it's a Heidi Klum’s Ridiculously Big Wannabe Sweatpants Are Shockingly Flattering, you can rest assured that it'll come and go in style for years, so the investment is worth it.
