Rihanna Proves Outfit Repeating is Chic by Re-Wearing Bottega Veneta Haddock Boots in New York
Rihanna was spotted in New York yesterday proving that outfit repeating can be ultra-chic.
The “Diamonds” songstress stepped out in the Big Apple in a pair of Bottega Veneta Haddock lace-up boots. Riri wore the same rugged style a day prior, styling the shoe in a similarly masculine way. Retailing for $ 1,400 via the designer brand’s website, the silhouette featured soft textural tan nubuck suede uppers along with bulbous toes, thick non-slip rubber soles and bright contrasting blue lace-up closures.
Quilted black ankle cuffs transitioned into silver eyelet accents and contrasting cream-colored stitching throughout, offering the silhouette a rugged appeal. Ready to tackle harsher terrains and weather, the designer shoe is meant to mimic the look of hiking boots. The performer’s pick is brawny and woodsy in composition and can likely be worn by all genders given the construction and neutral colorway.
The choice of workboot perfectly matched the masculine vibes that Rihanna cultivated throughout her look, creating a cohesive appearance. Similar ankle boots can be shopped via brands like Loewe, Common Projects, Red Wing, Proenza Schouler and Timberland, among others.
Accompanying her designer footwear, the “Work” singer wore a cropped leather bomber jacket overtop an oversized graphic tee. On the bottom, Rihanna styled classic jeans in a baggy light wash. As for accessories, the businesswoman wore a maximalist fur hat along with a slew of chunky high-shine rings and stacked chains.
For Rihanna, no shoe is too bold — or heel too high. The “Rated R” musician has worn many shoes over the years, including sky-high heels and chunky sneakers. Rihanna’s red carpet styles often include strappy sandals, platforms and pointed-toe pumps by Amina Muaddi, Prada and Tom Ford that coordinate with her outfits. Her off-duty styles also include similarly daring sandals and boots by Celine, Givenchy and Saint Laurent.
