A throwback to the '90s jelly trend, the upcoming offering from Rihanna's collaboration with sports lifestyle brand PUMA comes in three colours - pink, black, and blue.

While the price for Rihanna's Jelly Slides have not been announced yet, we reckon it'll cost around or a little less than USD90 (RM395.55), judging from the price of her Bow Women's Slide Sandals
