Whether it's dramatic earrings or a vibrant scarf, all it takes is one jaw-dropping statement piece to take your outfit to the next level of chic. In Rihanna's case, it was a vintage gold Christian Lacroix choker, which took center stage paired with the singer's white lace Nini Nguyen dress at the December launch party of her newest fragrance, Nude. The perfect complement to a low neckline, a chunky choker is a striking addition to any ensemble, formal or casual. While you may not be able to get your hands on the tastemaker's exact neckpiece, Pamela Love's Burnished Cutout Choker ($465) has Rihanna-worthy cachet and will help you achieve a similarly head-turning look.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
