Rihanna is stepping into the wild side to kick off 2026, swapping between various animal print heels. The singer has been in New York supporting her partner A$AP Rocky as he promotes his fourth studio album “Don’t Be Dumb.” During an outing in Manhattan on Tuesday, the singer slipped back into one of her go-to Amina Muaddi silhouettes — the Barbara.

While the Barbara boot is the Fenty Beauty founder’s preferred boot design, this time, she opted for the designer’s 105mm Mary Jane pumps. The high heels, which retail for $1,010, are crafted from shiny snake-printed leather.
They feature a classic Mary Jane shape and are elevated by a towering stiletto heel measuring four inches. The shoes feature a dramatically elongated sharp pointe toe, and a low-cut vamp that sits closer to the toes, giving the shoes a sharp and structured appearance.

The shoe also features a D’Orsay design, with complete cutouts on the inner and exterior sides of the shoes, leaving the “We Found Love” singer’s foot arch exposed. The shoes are held in place with an ankle strap and completed with a dainty silver buckle closure. Rihanna paired the shoes with formfitting black pants with cutoffs at the hem that allowed the shoes to peek through. She paired the pants with a Dior Homme white and orange wool-cashmere blend knit jacket, which retails for $6,100.
For the outing, A$AP Rocky wore the Moncler x A$AP Rocky Rally Short Down Jacket in bright green from his debut Moncler Genius collection. The jacket retails for $3,400. He paired it with khaki cargo pants and black-and-white Puma sneakers.
