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.
