Rihanna hailed as 'one of the people' as fans spot Sainsbury's carrier bag in Instagram post
She’s previously been known to accessorise with a glass of wine, but Rihanna’s latest fashion statement is arguably her most relatable yet.
The singer’s fans were amused to spot a Sainsbury’s Bag for Life in the background of her most recent Instagram Story.
The short clip showed the star posing in a polka dot dress while her niece Majesty took pictures, with the instantly recognisable orange tote placed behind her.
Twitter users were quick to pick up on the 31-year-old’s unexpected choice of bag, branding her “one of the people”.
“Finally a celebrity has a bag that I can also afford to have,” one fan wrote. “Me, Rih and half of the UK gonna be twinning with Sainsbury’s finest.”
“Rihanna owns a Sainsbury’s bag for life, I won a Sainsbury’s bag for life… does that make me… Rihanna?” another joked.

The singer recently sung the praises of the British high street when she announced that her Fenty Beauty line will be launching in Boots in the UK.
Sharing a photo of a Fenty lip gloss held in front of a Boots sign, she wrote said that she was “so excited” at the news, as she “love[s] Boots” and her “UK fans.”
Rihanna is not the only A-lister to be won over by an unassuming British brand in recent weeks.
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker announced her unlikely love for key cutters Timpson in an Instagram post shared over the weekend, branding the chain’s High Street Kensington branch her “new favourite wee shop”.
