Rihanna chose a pair of sleek black extra pointy heels for her night out at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles Thursday evening, where she was celebrating a friend’s birthday.
The singer and intimate wear entrepreneur channeled the mob wife aesthetic with black shoes with a 4-inch heel, paired with sheer black tights, a form-fitting animal print mini dress, and a matching floor-length coat with fur trim. This ensemble complemented the aesthetic of The Nice Guy, an establishment known for its vintage mob-inspired theme.
Rihanna’s penchant for pointy shoes is evident in her wardrobe, as she was recently spotted in Los Angeles donning a pair of Gucci mesh GG Slingback ballet flats that shared a similar pointy aesthetic. When she isn’t opting for a sharp silhouette, Rihanna can often be seen in casual sneakers, typically from Puma, a brand she frequently collaborates with through her own brand Fenty.

For high profile events, such as the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards, she opted for custom Manolo Blahnik pumps. Her collaboration with Puma, leading to the release of the Fenty Puma Creepers, marks a significant blend of high fashion with casual streetwear aesthetics. Her wardrobe features a wide array of footwear from high-profile brands including Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Amina Muaddi, Muaddi, Prada, and Tom Ford. Casual outings see her in versatile footwear such as sandals and boots from Celine, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent, alongside unconventional choices like Unravel Project lace-up boots.
