\n\tRihanna<\/a> traded her go-to snakeskin shoes<\/a> for tiger print pumps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer joined A$AP Rocky<\/a> for Amazon Music Presents A$AP Rocky<\/a> Songline Live on Sunday night, then kept the same look on for a late-night visit to El Puerto Seafood Restaurant in Harlem in the early hours of Monday, adding Ala\u00efa<\/a>\u2019s tiger print D\u2019Orsay pumps<\/a> to a busy \u201cDon\u2019t Be Dumb\u201d release weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe heels, Ala\u00efa\u2019s tiger print calf-hair D\u2019Orsay pump style, were cut in a sharp pointed-toe silhouette. The uppers featured diagonal brown and black stripes on a camel-hued base, wrapping around the sides of the foot and heel counter. A thin ankle strap in matching printed haircalf fastened with a small buckle, while a lacquered 90 mm stiletto finished the profile. The Italian-made style, which is listed as new on the maison\u2019s website, retails for $1,850 on Ala\u00efa\u2019s site and through select retailers.<\/p>\n

\n\tRihanna paired the pumps with double denim, starting with a paneled Saint Laurent denim jacket in a mid-blue wash. She added a plush cream sweater with a high, looped neckline underneath. Straight-leg blue jeans in a similar wash fell over the tops of the pumps, leaving the tiger stripes visible at the toe. As for accessories, the Fenty founder carried a limited edition Louis Vuitton Mink Mini Papillon bag and wore oversized brown Saint Laurent 901 Howl sunglasses.<\/p>\n

\n\tRocky coordinated in his own layered look. He wore a Bape ABC Camo down jacket from fall 2025 over an olive hoodie and T-shirt, styling the pieces with faded, relaxed jeans. On his feet, he chose Timberland<\/a>\u2019s dark brown nubuck Waterproof Field Boots, adding another boot to the couple\u2019s recent New York footwear run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe tiger swap landed after a 2025 year where Rihanna treated snakeskin like a repeatable neutral. In February, Amina Muaddi\u2019s snake-print Barbara boot turned into a recurring court choice during A$AP Rocky\u2019s Los Angeles trial. In August, she opted for Jimmy Choo\u2019s Romy pumps<\/a> in a python-embossed finish with wide-leg jeans. Just last month,, Rihanna returned to Amina Muaddi again, wearing snake-print Barbara Mary Jane pumps<\/a> while Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnimal print beyond reptiles are also making their way into celebrity shoe wardrobes. Last December, Niecy Nash-Betts<\/a> matched red leopard Stuart Weitzman pumps to a coordinating dress at Courtney B. Vance\u2019s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Just last week, Angel Reese<\/a> took Jennifer Le\u2019s fur-trim leopard thigh-highs courtside in Berlin, and Angela Bassett<\/a> leaned into snakeskin on \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson Show,\u201d keeping the print conversation active across pumps, platforms and boots<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rihanna traded her go-to snakeskin shoes for tiger print pumps.
