Rihanna was spotted in Los Angeles on March 21, sporting a sleek pair of heels.
The “Work” songstress graced the starry city in burgundy slingback pumps. The shoe pick is comparable to Saint Laurent’s Dune slingbacks and Amina Muaddi’s Anok pumps in a “Wine Red” hue. No matter the brand, the silhouette featured ultra-sharp knife-like pointed toes and glossy patent leather uppers. The burgundy hue offers Rihanna’s look a fun pop of color, breaking up all of the neutral tones. Stiletto heels rounded out the set, eclipsed by the lengthy hem of her trousers.
Similar shoes can be shopped via brands like Gianvito Rossi, Saint Laurent, Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, The Attico, Alaia, Paris Texas and Tony Bianco, among others. No matter the colorway or composition, slingback heels can add a touch of sophistication to any ensemble. The style is sleek and sharp, partnered with sturdy straps that keep the shoe fixed to the foot. Just about every footwear brand features a slingback-adjacent style in different colorways situated with varying heel heights.

The “We Found Love” singer partnered her burgundy footwear with a puffy black Balenciaga BB parka layered over a burgundy top. On the bottom, Rihanna sported baggy dark-wash denim. On the accessories front, the performer donned Bottega Veneta sunglasses with thick black frames accompanied by a dazzling gold chain and a quilted black Chanel bag affixed with high-shine gold hardware.
For Rihanna, no shoe is too bold — or heel too high. The “Rated R” musician has worn many 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 Amina Muaddi, Prada and Tom Ford that coordinate with her outfits. Her off-duty styles also include similarly daring sandals and boots by Celine, Givenchy and Saint Laurent.
