As the world gears up for the third installment of Rihanna’s must-have Puma creepers, news arrived of another RiRi collaboration sure to send fashion people into a tizzy. “After embodying the Dior woman in the Secret Garden IV campaign, the House of Dior and Rihanna are writing a new page in their shared story: the star has designed a pair of sunglasses with pure lines and futuristic accents in a range of metalized colors. Named simply ‘Rihanna,’ they will arrive in stores in June,” a release from Dior reads.

The glasses look exactly as they’re described: extremely futuristic, while also giving some strong 80s vibes. Rihanna told Dior that La Forge from Star Trek was her inspiration for the glasses. “I’ve always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together.”

Rihanna is the first of Dior’s celebrity ambassadors to design something for the brand. Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, and Marion Cotillard—who all have contracts with the brand—have never been granted this opportunity. Rihanna went to the fashion house’s headquarters in France to work with the eyewear design team, looking through their archives before drawing what she wanted her frames to look like.

The “Rihanna” will be available in six variations. The silver, green, blue, pink, and red styles will retail for $840, and a deluxe, 24-karat gold-plated version will sell for $1,950. You can buy several pairs of creepers for that price, but you won’t look like La Forge from Star Trek in your Pumas.
