Rihanna Ups Her Fashion Game in Waist-High Denim Boots for British Vogue

Rihanna’s back, and she’s looking exquisite in waist-high denim boots in the pages of British Vogue. Unlike her unapologetic display of nakedness on the cover of Lui Magazine back in 2016, this editorial — her fourth for the English publication, if I’m not mistaken — involves less skin, and is more high fashion. She still exposes her derriere and goes topless, but it’s done in a tasteful way.

If you read the issue, you will find the singer talk about her (design) collaboration with shoe legend, Manolo Blahnik, and the story behind those waist-high denim boots.

She looks really classy in these photos. Would you agree? They’re a far cry from the shots she did for Lui, which were very, well, er, bold.

I love Rihanna. She’s so comfortable in her skin. She oozes with confidence, and nothing is sexier than that.

Now back to those waist-high denim boots. Yes, they are waist-high. And yes, Rihanna designed them with Mr. Blahnik himself. The butt-exposing pair is not a closet staple, but they’re the kind of boots you wear if you want to make a statement. The singer also admitted that she’ll only wear them on dates wherein the goal is to end up in bed. Talk about being candid!

The Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik collection is called Denim Desserts, and will involve six shoe styles. Pricing will start at $895 and will go up as high as $3995. The limited-edition line will be released this coming May, so if you’re a big fan and you plan on grabbing at least a pair from the collection, be sure to check out the Blahnik stores in New York, Hong Kong, and London.

If you’re dying to see the other shoe styles Ri-Ri will be launching on May 5, it’s your lucky day because I managed to find these pics on the net. Be sure you have a thousand dollars lying around the house in a few months, because that’s how much you’ll be spending.

I’d like to call this collection “dressed-up denim”, specifically because of the embellishments. I wouldn’t mind wearing them; even the boots! What about you?

If you like the idea of wearing embellished denim footwear, and you can’t wait for May to come, try these options from Rene Caovilla, Christian Louboutin, Laurence Dacade, and Tabitha Simmons instead:
