Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were spotted out for a late night stroll in New York early today.

The “Diamonds” songstress sported a pair of whimsical Marie Antoinette pumps in black from Balenciaga. From heel to toe, curly satin black bows covered a patent black leather base that transitioned into sharp pointed toes.

The sophisticated set also included thin, 3- to 4-inch stiletto heels that acted to elevate, quite literally, Rihanna’s look. The style is an uncommon one for the brand but a stylish one nonetheless.

Looking to the wider outfit, the “Nobody’s Business” singer wore a two-piece denim set from Miu Miu. The makeup mogul’s ensemble was comprised of a cropped jacket featuring ornate gilded detailing layered atop a white cropped button-down shirt and black lace bra combo that offered a daring peekaboo effect.

Rounding out the designer set, the multi-hyphenated star donned baggy high-waisted denim jeans. Going the maximalist route, Rihanna heavily accessorized with a variety of high-shine jewelry in a mix gold and silver and encrusted with multicolored gemstones.

For Rihanna, no shoe is too bold — or heel too high. The “Rated R” musician has worn a wide range of shoes over the years, including sky-high heels and chunky sneakers. Rihanna’s red carpet styles often include strappy sandals, platforms, and pointed-toe pumps by Muaddi, Prada, and Tom Ford. Her off-duty styles also include similarly daring sandals and boots by Celine, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent.

Rihanna is also known for wearing statement sneakers by New Balance, Nike, and Puma. Aside from her repertoire of stylish shoes, she’s found success in launching her own Savage X Fenty, Fenty Beauty and Fenty labels in the fashion and beauty industries. Additionally, she’s served as a collaborator, campaign star and muse for top brands, including Dior, Chanel and Manolo Blahnik.
