It is one of those accessories most of us look back on and regret ever wearing.But trendsetting singer Rihanna is single-handedly attempting to bring back the bum bag, after she was photographed using one while enjoying the sights of Dublin, Ireland.
However, unlike the versions made popular in the early Nineties, Rihanna's pouch was leopard print, and made by Dolce and Gabbana.

Hungry: The singer snacked on a bag of M&M's as she left the hotelWhile the bags are currently a favourite of tourists keen to keep an eye on their most important possessions, fashion experts predict a comeback for the accessories this spring.
Designers including Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton and Gucci have all included them in their Spring/Summer lines.
However, Gaia Geddes, executive fashion and jewellery editor of Harper’s Bazaar, said the bum bags are not for everyone.
She told the Daily Telegraph: 'It’s a fun trend, but I don’t think anyone over 25 will buy into it in a big way!'
Leopard print lover: Rihanna wore a sexy outfit by Dolce & Gabbana to go shopping the day beforeRihanna has developed a liking for animal print from the Italian designers, and was seen wearing an attractive top and skirt as she enjoyed a night out in Dublin last night.
The 22-year-old star arrived in the Irish capital since last Saturday, when she performed a sell-out concert to fans in Dublin's O2 Arena as part of her The Last Girl On Earth tour.
She is also due to perform at the venue again tonight.
And Rihanna has certainly been making the most of her time in the city, spending several thousand euros of designer gear from upmarket department store Brown Thomas earlier in the week.
