The power of the perfect heels is never more apparent than when Rihanna puts on a pair.
She did just that on a recent excursion in Los Angeles with boyfriend A$AP Rocky this weekend. The two matched in all-black looks for a dinner date at one of their go-to spots, Santa Monica’s Giorgio Baldi.
Rihanna’s monochromatic fit consisted of an inky black velvet jumpsuit from Alaïa. She kept warm by layering the one-piece underneath a long black leather coat, which featured a slightly oversize silhouette and shaggy black fur trim on the collar. As for the Fenty Beauty mogul’s footwear, she opted for black satin heeled sandal from Amina Muaddi, a shoe brand she often relies on to make a showstopping fashion statement. This time, the heels upped the ante with a glamorous twist: sparkling crystal wraparound straps at the ankles.
She further accessorized with black oval sunglasses, chunky black rings, and a bedazzled black velvet bag by Roger Vivier.
Meanwhile, Rocky struck a stylish figure of his own in a black leather jacket, baggy black trousers, and a black velvet shirt tied around his waist. He capped off his ensemble with a black baseball cap with white illustrations, and black sneakers. (You can see photos of his outfit here.)
Last year, Rihanna shared how motherhood has shaped her sense of fashion. “[Pregnancy’s] a long nine to 10 months. You have to enjoy it,” she toldEntertainment Tonight in February 2022, during her first pregnancy. “Fashion is one of my favorite things, so, you know, we’re defying what it even means to be pregnant and maternal. It can get uncomfortable at times and so you can dress the part and pretend.”
