Rihanna is known for keeping her hand on the pulse of style and makes everything she wears look good. She has even developed a keen instinct of wearing new styles and designers before it hits the radar of other trendy celebrities. Recently, Rihanna has been out and about wearing sought after Virgil Abloh’s Off-White runway shoes, which is a collaboration with notable designer footwear Jimmy Choo. Virgil Abloh in particular has been stamping his name as a creative genius by being called to collab with the New York City Ballet on costumes, with Warby Parker on limited edition black sunglasses, with Nike on Air Force Ones, and even Ikea. He has also been a long time collaborator with Kanye West and has presented his own Off-White Spring collection on the runway and the Princess Diana inspired “Cinderella Shoes” and handbags in collaboration with Jimmy Choo.
The collaboration with Jimmy Choo was a match made in heaven because it allowed Jimmy Choo to explore a new avenue with a brand like Off-White and mix vibes to create a unique touch. Rihanna stepped on in NYC with a pair of pumps from the collaboration in the classic black style with an ankle-high clear plastic casing. She paired the pumps with a clear tote that encased an Alexander Wang crystal clutch. Rihanna matched her accessories with a deconstructed blazer top and a denim mini skirt, which gave off the re-invented work wear look.
