ShoeMinx’s No. 1 Shoe Angel: Rihanna

The Red Carpet Won’t  Be The Same Without You

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, no doubt you’ve heard about R&B “It” couple Chris Brown and Rihanna.  A week later and details are still coming out about the alleged altercation that rocked the Grammys in a way that no one could have ever expected.

All of us here at ShoeMinx HQ adore RiRi for her fearless trendsetting ways and fierce footwear.  How could we not?  The “Umbrella” singer wears knee-high lace-up boots for a casual shopping trip as easily as most women who would simply slip-on a favorite pair of flip flops.

From the catwalk to the concert stage, the Barbados beauty regularly snaps up the hottest shoe looks before they even make it into the pages of a fashion spread, much less the shelves in Barney’s stellar shoe department.  Her Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte heels are signature Rihanna.  Not many could pull off such a fashion-forward look with such ease and panache (cough*Beyonce*cough).

And how does she prowl the stage in those super high heels anyway?

No doubt Rihanna would’ve upstaged everyone else on the Grammy red carpet.  Well, except for maybe M.I.A.  Whatever the facts of the current situation, we wish her a speedy recovery and hope that she’ll be able to move on.  As Posh would say, her “everyday is a catwalk” fashionista outlook is MAJOR and will be missed.
