So Rihanna stepped out in New York this morning and managed to make our inner 90s (and 00s) child VERY happy.
Yep, RiRi is officially bringing back our favourite childhood hair accessory, the flower barrette.
Rocking an oh-so cute updo stacked with plenty of floral clips and three red flower barrettes - one look at the singer had us dreaming of Saturday afternoon's gone by in Claire's Accessories. Those were the days...
Teaming her major hair accessory game with a statement-printed maxi dress and some serious platforms, once again, RiRi schooled us in how to dress like a cool-girl.
If, like us, you can't wait to crack out your favourite 90s flower barrette and stuff as many hair accessories into your ponytail as possible, just remember - no, you can never have too many clips.
If you never embraced the barrette back in the 90s, firstly, you're a bit weird, secondly, don't worry. Turns out Claire's still sell 'em. Yep you can buy two red flower clips for just £4. Not bad, eh?
As if we needed another reason to love Rihanna (and Claire's Accessories, obvs <3)
