At the 2024 GRAMMY Awards in February, she wore black platform sandals, and a pair of sleek black pointed-toe stiletto boots at the Warner Music Group Pre-GRAMMY Party.

Bebe Rexha’s Shoe Style

The New York-born singer and songwriter has been active in the music industry since 2010, penning chart-topping pop hits for herself and artists like Rihanna and G-Eazy. Her red carpet and on-stage style has evolved over the years, although she often leans into glamorous and edgy styles. On the red carpet, she opts for bold boots and heels from designers like Moschino, Sophia Webster and Giuseppe Zanotti.

Combat Boots

Originally designed to be worn by soldiers on the battlefield, combat boots are utilitarian footwear created for foot protection, ankle support and with a gripping tread. Classically made of black leather, combat boots, particularly Dr. Martens, were adopted by counterculture movements in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, including the goth, punk, grunge and heavy metal scenes. Dr. Martens and other style-forward combat boots remain a music festival fashion mainstay.
