By now, you’ve surely heard that the Cannes Film Festival enacted a no-nudity rule on the red carpet. But does that include naked shoes?
Rihanna first hit the Croisette in a bright blue Alaïa bodycon dress—complete with bump-baring cutouts—for the premiere of Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, which stars her partner, A$AP Rocky. Next, she wowed us in another sexy, cutout-heavy dress, wearing a black Brandon Maxwell number with a hip-high slit and a bare midriff on a dinner date with Rocky.
But today, Rih gave us a taste of her off-duty maternity wardrobe on a stroll around Cannes. She opted for a black ribbed long-sleeve Khaite dress with a fringe skirt. While others might style the swishy dress with a strappy sandal, Rihanna broke out a beloved pair of clear PVC heeled sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. Practically invisible, it almost looked as though she was strutting around town on the balls of her feet.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Rih in these shoes. In 2017, she wore them with a white shirtdress to a Madeworn x Roc96 pop-up event. Whether they’re worn with a tailored minidress or a fringed maxi, Rihanna’s naked shoes transcend both time and occasion.
