Rihanna was recently snapped strolling NYC in a few extra layers of clothing (many extra, if you compare the ensemble to her recent Armani Jeans campaign photos alongside Rafael Nadal where denim is the only piece of clothing in the picture). Still, she keeps it sexy with some sheer layering and a bangin’ red lip color. This time the singer was caught on camera exiting her hotel room on the way to the dentist in a pair of Current/Elliott The Boyfriend Cropped Jeans. Her top is an A.L.C. striped pullover sweater, and she’s rocking Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer sunglasses like nobody’s business. These are ultimate boyfriend jeans with a boxy fit, so we recommend keeping the rest of the outfit feminine if to balance it out. Rihanna knows—that’s why she layered a leopard print bustier under her top. Our question is, who wears lipstick to the dentist? That’s a diva move if we’ve ever heard of one.

Los Angeles-based boutique Fred Segal—a favorite stop for celebrities and hipsters alike—launched their Fred Segal Trend e-commerce site yesterday. Marquee brands so far include A.L.C., Elizabeth & James, Isabel Marant, and Steven Alan—all brands which produce denim. At the moment, only three styles of Mother Denim jeans are offered on the site for women, but we fully expect a lot more jeans for sale in the near future.

British pop hottie Pixie Lott was recently snapped walking through LAX airport sporting a Wrangler denim vest (or a waistcoat, according to Denimblog). Although Pixie is dressed way down, unlike her usual pop star fashionista persona, her hair looks great and the vest-sweatpants-loafers ensemble actually does not look slovenly. We’ll cut her some slack, because we know we can’t always sit in a cramped plane wearing a miniskirt and 5-inch stilettos.

Haven’t tried wearing a denim vest before? Fret not. We’ll supply some ideas to stay stylish and avoid that dreaded biker-’80′s hick look.

1. A slouchy-yet-tailored looking sweatpants is a winning combination for the seasoned traveler. A.L.C. Tapered Cotton and Cashmere-Blend Pants ($295) – buy it at Net-a-Porter.
2. A gray denim vest adds a tidy continuous color line when paired with gray pants. All Saints Kay Denim Gilet ($75) – buy it at All Saints.
3. We chose a light blue tank to add a tasteful pop of blue which peeks out from underneath the vest. Michael Stars Ribbed Beater Tank Top in Oasis (on sale for $26) – buy it at Tobi.
4. In keeping with Pixie’s kiltie shoe look, we chose a driving shoe instead, for its softness and comfort aboard flights. Minnetonka Kiltie Suede Moccasin Flats ($48) – buy it at Urban Outfitters.
5. A retro-geeky look may not fool the paparazzi, but it’s sure trendy as hell! EP “Clubsmen” Half Frame Clear Lens Glasses ($10) – buy it at 80′s Purple.
6. A cross body bag is a traveler’s essential. Kimchi Blue Lady Satchel ($49) – buy it at Urban Outfitters.
