Rihanna steps out in Sophie Bille Brahe diamonds - twice

Rihanna appears to be the latest major name to embrace Sophie Bille Brahe’s bijoux, donning a piece by the brand on two separate occasions this month. On January 17, the singer was spotted hand in hand with beau ASAP Rocky, keeping things low-key in a Saint Laurent cotton jacket and New York Yankees baseball cap. The look was subtly elevated, however, with a single flash of brilliance: Bille Brahe’s Collier de Tennis Royal necklace.
Just three days later, the Fenty founder gave the same necklace a decidedly more dramatic outing. Rihanna made a bold statement in an Alaïa zebra-print jacquard coat and tiger-print pumps, layered with a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier fringed scarf and a fluffy Louis Vuitton mini papillon bag. But her Sophie Bille Brahe diamonds stole the show, glimmering against the paparazzi flashes.

Though his promotional duties for Pillion are over, Alexander Skarsgård isn't abandoning his new provocative style. For the premiere of his most recent film, Wicker, Skarsgård stepped out onto the red (well, beige) carpet in head-to-toe custom COS. The ensemble, designed at the label's London atelier, featured an Italian wool shirt, high-waisted tuxedo trousers with pleated, tapered legs, and classic penny loafers. The element that truly brought in the sexy edge, however, was the double-belt accessorising, a clear nod to his BDSM-esque dressing that has been capturing headlines for months.
