The Power of Mini-Me Styling: Rihanna and RZA’s Coordinated Looks

Rihanna has a real sense of fashion. The singer is never short of ideas when it comes to fashion.

With her fast-growing 1-year-old son RZA, she has decided to give us yet another style lesson – the mini-me parent and child fashion.

The total denim look trend has established itself in the fashion sphere as one of the must-haves of the moment. Rihanna made it her fashion statement with the contribution of little RZA.

The “Rude Boy” singer went to the Giorgi Baldi Restaurant in Los Angeles dressed in baggy blue jeans and an oversized kimono, revealing her well-rounded stomach at the same time.

Inspired by her look, she dressed her offspring in a denim jacket and matching pants. Hip-hop influences inspire the mother/son duo’s streetwear style.

All has been said about Rihanna and RZA’s matching or mini-me fashion styles. We’ve also seen A$AP Rocky and his son in a mini-me style.

We’ve seen little father-son mini-me from the family, too. RZA was recently seen in a trendy mini set of ASAP’s diamond-and-ruby-wrapped “GRIM” belt buckle. A$AP Rocky got the bigger type of belt buckle back in 2022. Celebrity jeweler Alex Moss helped the rapper craft the original piece, which cost a whopping $322,000.

In an interview, ASAP Rocky’s stylist, Matthew Henson, revealed that A$AP is equally involved in RZA’s looks from head to toe. “All the baby’s outfits are [ASAP Rocky],” Henson shared. “He’s overseeing the creative direction of the baby and he’s incredible at it.”

The Mini Me trend is here to stay in the fashion world. Girls love to dress like their mothers and boys are amazed when they see they are wearing the same jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, or jewelry their fathers wear.

This trend is now on the streets thanks to more commercial fashion brands. It makes it possible for children and adults to dress the same without giving the sensation of being dressed up.

The pioneer in the world of the Mini Me was Katie Holmes, Tom Cruisse’s ex, and her daughter Suri. Day in and day out, they appeared dressed in very similar, if not practically identical, outfits. Their looks were a little sappy and syrupy. But, soon, more followers of this trend arrived with better outfits.

This is the case of the models Alessandra Ambrosio, Natalia Vodianova, Kate Moss, and Kim Kardashian.

Today, many brands have created a mini version of mothers’ wardrobes so that the little ones, boys and girls, can wear outfits inspired by them.

Many brands are betting on the Mini Me trend, from the rockiest outfits to the most classic. These include Mango, Nice Things, Burberry, and other luxurious ones such as Dolce & Gabanna, Louis Vuitton, or Loewe.
