Rihanna seems to know how to take any footwear silhouette — whether it be a classic pump, a sultry slingback or a pair of sneakers — and make it look unmistakably her own. In 2026, the Fenty Beauty founder has worn tiger-striped Alaïa pumps for a New York date night, Nike x Jacquemus Moon Shoes with off-duty staples and suede knee-high boots to the FIFA World Cup Final. She returned to the stage in glossy Saint Laurent Vendôme slingbacks, then turned an everyday family outing into a statement in snakeskin sandal heels. Ahead, revisit Rihanna's standout shoe moments of 2026—so far.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky turned a Crop Over cruise in Barbados into an unusually public display of affection as the couple danced together in the middle of a packed celebration.
Footage from the boat showed Rihanna bending forward and dancing against Rocky as he stood directly behind her. Both laughed through the moment while other passengers watched and recorded them.
Rihanna later shared clips from the outing through her Instagram Stories. In one video, she noticed a nearby man watching the couple, zoomed in on his expression and added the caption, "My x in the studio."
The Stories have since expired, but footage from the celebration was reposted by several entertainment and social-media accounts.
The cruise was hosted by Aura Experience, the Crop Over band connected to Rihanna's brother Rorrey Fenty. Footage published by TMZ showed Rihanna dancing closely against Rocky as he held her from behind. At one point, she appeared to lose a shoe but continued dancing and laughing.

Look at the edges she **** ed today!
Shea Couleé is RuPaul's Drag Race royalty as the crowned queen of All Stars 5. The iconic diva is one of the most well-rounded winners from the hit show and her world domination is only gaining momentum.
By walking in major fashion campaigns (including Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show), securing a guest spot on the hit ABC show Abbott Elementary, and becoming the first drag artist to land a major acting role in the MCU, Couleé has undoubtedly made a major impact beyond Drag Race fame.
Although her résumé certainly speaks for itself, there's still one iconic Drag Race moment that lives in her head rent free.
"I would probably have to say when I got to walk for Naomi Campbell and come face-to-face with her. It really takes a lot to make a bad **** like me cry. Y'all got me! It was so iconic. She's so beautiful, wonderful, and gorgeous. A true icon! Whenever it comes across my timeline, I never skip it. I always sit there and watch," Couleé tells Out.

Rihanna has left the internet aflame, posing in a Savage x Fenty lace plunge bra that peeked through the unbuttoned shirt she layered over it. The songstress took to Instagram on July 1 to share a new picture of her in the outfit as part of the brand's summer campaign.
Rihanna once again exhibited her top-notch styling game in her latest Instagram post. She wore the new Daisy Riot Boy Short 2-Piece Set from Savage x Fenty, featuring the Lightly Lined Plunge Bra and the Lace Boy Short Panty. Crafted from delicate yellow lace, the bra featured intricate floral embroidery across the cups and scalloped edges. While the shorts were not fully visible, they featured the same embroidered design and scalloped-edge finish.
Further, the "Diamonds" hitmaker layered it with the yellow-and-white micro-gingham checkered set, consisting of high-waisted shorts and a ******* on-down shirt. She wore the shirt draped completely off one shoulder and slouching around her arms, creating an effortless, relaxed silhouette. Below, she sported matching shorts with the lace panty peeking out from underneath.
Rihanna completed her look with pointed-toe stiletto pumps. Crafted from matching yellow satin fabric, the shoes featured a subtle pink floral brocade pattern. The glamorous, shimmering crystal-embellished ankle straps elevated the heels. Further, she accessorized with small, dangling teardrop charms, which added more sparkle to her look.
The Grammy singer's beauty look leaned into a dreamy, high-fashion aesthetic. Her long, honey-blonde hair fell past her shoulders in voluminous, tousled mermaid waves. Meanwhile, her makeup featured a dramatic, draped pink blush that swept heavily across her cheekbones, up to her temples and eyes. She paired it with a glossy nude lip and subtle eye makeup. She posed against a vibrant blue fabric backdrop. In another photo, she sat inside a large, inflatable blue peacock pool float.
