When Manolo Blahnik and Rihanna [1] announced the launch of a limited-edition collection [2] featuring denim-inspired boots and heels, we had visions of Jennifer Lopez [3] wearing the styles on the red carpet and stage. The collection simply screams her name, and Rihanna obviously took notice, too.

In a recent Instagram [4], J Lo showed off a pair of Rihanna's 9 to 5 boots, embellished with a large sequined buckle and embroidery, with a note from the Barbados-born singer that reads: "To the baddest, because I know you're gonna wear them better than me!!! From: Badgalriri." And now we know why J Lo needed an advanced pair of the boots: for her incredibly badass "Ain't Your Mama" video [5]. Check out a photo of Jennifer looking hot in the impressive heels above, then scroll ahead to see Rihanna's sweet note and take a closer look at the design.
