Rihanna Can’t Stop Wearing This Transitional Shoe That’s Surprisingly Versatile

Rihanna is basically a walking mood board of never-ending fashion inspiration. So, on the rare occasion she’s spotted re-wearing a statement piece, it’s best to take notes. In just the last week, the mogul styled two early spring uniforms in New York City, grounded by sharp snakeskin boots; a luscious knit green midi dress, and a sophisticated ensemble including a pinstripe button-down and trousers. The week before, she teamed those same boots with a trendy Canadian tuxedo and a sleek leather trench coat.

For such a bold, textural print, her stiletto knee-high boots seamlessly complemented her muted palette, thanks to their tonal black-and-white embossing that’s effortlessly versatile. But, since her luxe pair from Amina Muaddi will run you over $1,800, I rounded up eight similar styles that are just as show-stopping, from just $45.

Marc Fisher LTD Quinnie Boot

For most of us, steep stiletto heels aren’t so practical for everyday wear. The Quinnie Boot from Marc Fisher will give you that same Rihanna-approved edge with a fuss-free kitten heel and plush padded insoles. The style’s on sale for 60 percent off—it’s lowest price all month—and features a neutral black and white print, an easy-on zip closure, and a Western-inspired dip collar.

Kurt Geiger London Regent Snakeskin Print Boot

Speaking of Western-inspired touches, these slouchier boots from Kurt Geiger take on a cool, above-the-ankle cowboy silhouette. They flash an opulent gold cap-toe that contrasts the shiny snakeskin print, with a wider, pull-on shaft that’ll pair so well with short hems or tucked-in jeans. This pair plays as an elevated take on an already-glamorous style, which is just so Rihanna.

Sam Edelman Sylvia 2 Boot

These best-selling Sam Edelman boots are a close match to Rihanna’s, though they have a wider, shorter heel, which provides better stability on city sidewalks or grassy terrain, and snip-toe boxes that offer more wiggle room for wide feet. Plus, they’re on sale in two cool- and warm-toned snakeskin patterns to best suit your wardrobe.

Keep scrolling to shop more snakeskin boots that are so sleek in any season, including two ankle bootie styles for as low as $45 and block-heel knee-high boots at 50 percent off.
