Rihanna [1], who recently launched her own Fenty line [2] and has been showing off the label's shoes left and right [3], attended the Queen & Slim premiere at AFI Fest in Hollywood, sticking to her signature look as of late — it's all about the footwear. Rihanna [4] slipped into a silk John Galliano robe from William Vintage and coordinated the look with a David Webb necklace and bracelets, along with Jimmy Choo's delicate Tatiana clutch. The lapels of Rihanna's number were cinched with a single button, allowing us a full look at her legs through a thigh-high slit.
Rihanna worked the cut at every angle, stepping forward to reveal a pair of strappy stiletto sandals and a diamond anklet, to attract even more attention that way. Though Rihanna's chunky jewels dazzled along her neckline and her smoky makeup was fierce, this leggy moment ended with the obvious: the little black sandal is where it's at.
In fact, despite cold toes in Winter weather, this is one of the biggest holiday trends we're seeing [5] for 2019, and you can find plenty of options with shimmering rhinestones and crystals, too. While the shorter, minimalist sandal was all the rage this past Summer, a sky-high statement can be just what you need to ring in the new year.
