Morphology

vibrant + topper

The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'vibrant' (bright/striking) modifying 'topper' (a hat), so the overall meaning 'a bright, striking hat or accessory' is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is a common, transparent formation in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings would understand the MWE.

Etymology

The phrase vibrant topper may come from the simple image of a bright, eye-catching hat that tops an outfit, with vibrant showing the colour and topper showing it sits on top. So, it means 'a bright and stylish hat or accessory' that makes an outfit stand out.
