The Cannes Film Festival made headlines recently with its no-nudity rule on the red carpet, but one question remains: does this rule include naked shoes? Rihanna, always known for pushing the fashion boundaries, has been making waves with her maternity style at the festival.
Rihanna turned heads in a bright blue Alaïa bodycon dress with bump-baring cutouts at the premiere of Spike Lee’s film “Highest 2 Lowest,” where her partner A$AP Rocky stars. She then stunned in a black Brandon Maxwell dress with cutouts and a hip-high slit during a dinner date with Rocky.
In a more casual setting, Rihanna was spotted in Cannes wearing a black ribbed long-sleeve Khaite dress with a fringe skirt. What caught everyone’s attention, however, were her clear PVC heeled sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. These barely-there shoes gave the illusion that Rihanna was walking on the balls of her feet, adding a touch of whimsy to her look.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Rihanna has been seen in these shoes. Back in 2017, she paired them with a white shirtdress for a Madeworn x Roc96 pop-up event. Whether dressed up or down, Rihanna’s naked shoes seem to effortlessly complement any outfit, proving their versatility and timelessness.
Rihanna’s daring fashion choices continue to captivate audiences, and her ability to make even the simplest of accessories stand out is truly remarkable. As she navigates her way through maternity style, one thing is for sure: Rihanna knows how to make a statement, whether on the red carpet or the streets of Cannes.
