Rihanna embraces retro pilot vibes with Bottega Veneta

Aviator sunglasses have never looked this good. And when Rihanna steps out in L.A. wearing them, it’s a sign: retro is hotter than ever.

The 50s-inspired pilot style is back

With their sleek metal frame, side spoilers, and signature ribbon detail on the temples, these Bottega Veneta shades channel a bold 50s attitude reimagined for 2025. It’s the perfect mix of statement and subtle luxury.

Rihanna rocks them in the city, but we can already see them at festivals, rooftops, or road trips this summer. A design that bridges vintage cool with high-end finesse.

💥 The result? A fashion-forward piece on its way to cult status.
