Rihanna makes it clear when she loves a shoe, and a pair of Alaïa’s tiger print pumps might be the new go-to shoe on her lineup.

Fans have taken notice over the past couple of years that the singer regularly returns to the Amina Muaddi’s Barbara style in snake print. She’s alternated between the Barbara boots and the Mary Jane pumps, and has paired them with just about any ensemble, ranging from casual street style to go Christmas shopping or with a Balenciaga dress to go to court.
This past weekend, the Fenty Beauty founder made several appearances to support the release of her partner A$AP Rocky’s latest album “Don’t Be Dumb” in New York City. This time around, she left the Barbara heels at home, opting for another animal print style that she rewore with various looks.

On Monday, Rihanna wore Alaïa’s Drop pumps in a tiger printed haircalf leather, which retail for $1,850. The shoes follow a similar silhouette as the Amina Muaddi Barbara Mary Jane pumps. The Alaïa high heels feature a sharp D’Orsay outline, which revealed the side of her feet, and a sleek pointed toe.
The upper, counter and the thin ankle strap are decorated with the tiger printed haircalf leather that blends black stripes with brown and a light cream color. The dainty straps are fastened by a small silver buckle on the side.
The shoes stand tall on a lacquered stiletto heel, which measures 90mm, and a drop shaped heel base. The “Work” singer kept it consistent, pairing the pumps with a tiger print fur coat. She then wrapped a thick brown scarf around herself and paired the look with oversize black glasses for the outing.

The singer wore the same shoes on Sunday when she was spotted going to “El Puerto” Seafood Restaurant in Harlem in New York City. She paired them with a full-on denim look for that outing, wearing light-wash Saint Laurent jacket with wide-leg jeans. Rihanna has a penchant for eye-grabbing footwear, and she has been a consistent and faithful supporter over the years of her go-to brands like Gianvito Rossi, Manolo Blahnik, Amina Muaddi, Miu Miu, Alaïa and more.
“Don’t Be Dumb” is A$AP Rocky’s fourth studio album and was released on Friday. The album is Rocky’s first release in almost eight years, since his 2018 project “Testing.” The new album includes 17 new tracks and features artists like Tyler, The Creator, Doechii, Brent Faiyaz, Westside Gunn and more.
