Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 31, 2018January 31, 2018Leave a Comment

Remy Ma is still serving up a healthy dose of Melanin Magic as well as eye-popping fashion! The hip hop star was recently photographed wearing a Vetements Rubber Raincoat along with a slew of other designer pieces. Nevertheless, what is the best part of this street style moment? Remy Ma styled herself! No help, no comments, just plain doing her… love it!

Fashionable Mention: Remy Ma’s Vetements Rubber Raincoat in White

The raincoat Remy Ma is wearing is from the Vetements Fall/Winter 2018 collection. New items form this line such as this one recently dropped at online stores such as Net-A-Porter, SSENSE and Mytherea. Remy is wearing the coat in white but it does come in additional tones. Enjoy this hot look in a rich black or a fun yellow rubber duckie hue.

Furthermore, the coat can be purchased for between $360-$560. Our recommendation? Hit up Net-A-Porter.com who is currently pricing the coat for 40% off at $336. Certainly, one of the best prices you will find anywhere online.

Nonetheless, it is no surprise to see Remy rocking the rubber raincoat. Vetements is a couture kingdom for the rich and famous. The edgy label is a staple for A-listers ranging from Future to Rihanna.

So now it looks like Remy Ma is adding her name in the Vetements style game. However, to finish off her look, Remy accessorized the coat with a Moschino handbag and the now iconic Off White Made For Walking Boots. Work it girl!
