The singer is actively touring the world with the ANTI WORLD TOUR and continues to shock the audience with outfits and candid dances. Collaboration with Manolo Blahnik and Dior, space photography for W Magazine, duets with Drake - Rihanna is now on top! But what about her style?

Let's be honest, we are ambiguous about these boots created by Rihanna and Manolo Blahnik. And even Jay Lo, who danced in them in the video for Ain "t Your Mama, could not convince us of their beauty: legs do not get slimmer, and denim looks suspicious as a material for making shoes. And these rhinestones ... In combination with satin jumpsuit-parachute, tied with a belt, this set becomes simply absurd, even for the stage.

The same eggs, only in profile. But here at least the color does not raise questions - everything is one to one: denim shorts and a black top set off well the orange explosion, in which the singer dressed from head to toe. We admit that we like these Vetements & Manolo Blahnik boots much more.

In everyday life, Rihanna often chooses infantile images in which she resembles a little girl in bows and fluffy skirts... But the fur collar, albeit at the height of summer, saved the situation: the outfit looks fresh and interesting.

Everything that can be called a cardigan, coat, cape and robe, we respect very much. It is not clear what exactly from the list is on Rihanna, but when paired with jeans, shiny embellishment, stiletto sandals and evening makeup it looks decent.

A variation on the theme of ruffles is a dull Vetements dress with a floral pattern (apparently, the singer is a big fan of the brand). In combination with the same closed shoes, it looks both grungy and feminine. Bravo.

A fringed leather wrap dress is a great style solution in itself. And an over size denim coat casually thrown over the shoulders adds a couple more points to it. A bold belt completes the chic look.

Boots for denim shorts ... Not that!

Rihanna knows how to pick up baseball caps - both for sports looks and for evening dresses. Convenient quiet option for busy everyday life of a star.

A black long t-shirt is always a great idea, as well as black dress... To her, the singer skillfully added evening attributes - catchy jewelry, black suede boots with a stiletto heel and a chest Louis Vuitton... Stylish, fashionable, youthful - in the spirit of Rihanna.

Almost everything suits the singer with her exotic appearance. What can we say about feminine floral sundresses! Tanned body, tattoos, piercings and perfect makeup - prerequisites for winning.

Long shirt in hawaiian style, very beautiful in itself, in combination with shoes that are not obvious to her, is a success. A bright bag in color and hairpins - and the look is complete.

We have already seen this costume with different sides - in it the singer performs during her tour, from where she often uploads videos to Instagram. Definitely, the good thing about him is that he is immensely huge. The color is also good. Leather microtope adds a spice to the look.

But here again failure! In this lace-up leather jumpsuit and a cape with a hood, the singer looks like a little Drakosha. He clearly does not decorate her.

Our "favorite" boots and "parachutes" ...

Controversial choice. A long fur coat resembling a cardigan would look more appropriate here. But Rihanna knows better - she has a completely unique idea of \u200b\u200bher own style.

Verdict

Perhaps RiRi has run out of inspiration: her latest stage images are not admired. It is much more pleasant to look at her daily outfits: here in terms of combinations and combinations, she has no equal. And by the way, the singer hasn't changed her haircut for a long time ... A sure sign that soon she will surprise us again - the soul of a rebel requires change!

The singer teamed up with Manolo Blahnik to create denim boots

Less than a month after the debut of Rihanna's first collection for Puma at New York Fashion Week in February, which included black, white, and red high-top sneakers, which, we note, have already arrived in stores and began to sell, the 28-year-old singer announced. what's on sale soon new collection women's shoes designed by her.

Rihanna warned:

The day I see a woman on the street wearing my shoes ... I sympathize with that woman because I'm going to literally run after her, shouting, “Stop! Selfie! Who you are? Where did you get them? " I'm going to capture this moment!

Remembering the trends of the outgoing 2016. Let's start with the main thing - over the knee boots, which were once worn by the military, and now - by pop stars and other fashionistas.

Fashion, as art, is interesting in its development: it cannot be perceived in isolation from reality. It was not the times and mores of these very times that determined the wardrobe of people, but the conditions and circumstances in which different generations lived, worked and thought. Fashion is not for nothing called the mirror of the era: it reflects the history of mankind in every little detail.

but modern fashion is much more art, while a couple of centuries ago it was utilitarian in nature. After rummaging through the bag of indigo yarns, we told you about another wardrobe piece that is back in trend: over the knee boots. With how the shoes of cavalrymen became part of fashionable "bows", we understand in today's article.

Utility

As mentioned earlier, high boots came to the world of high (and not only) fashion from the men's wardrobe. There is an opinion that this happened only in the 60s of the XX century and that women did not wear boots above the knee before. However, this is not quite true.

The word "boots" is of French origin and is translated as "strong boots" (bottes - "boots", "fortes" - strong). Treads served cavalry and military in medieval Europe first to protect against cold and dirt, and also to keep the fabric of clothing from quick wiping. Part military uniform the high boots became due to the fact that the legs were almost the only vulnerable part of the body during the battle. Cavalry boots began to lose their utility when the French king drew attention to them Henry IV: the boots migrated from the battlefield to the palace. But at the same time, the boots did not lose their original purpose.

In the 17th century, the fashion for over-the-knee boots came to England, where high boots popularized Charles I Stuart... In Russia, the main lover of shoes above the knee was Peter I... Yes, and in modern military uniforms, jackboots still have a place. They are also part of the ceremonial military uniform.

Obviously, anglers and hunters use high boots clearly not to be in trend.

Equal rights

Probably the boots would never have been in women's wardrobe - they look very rough, too functional, and in general it is not clear what to wear them with. But social movements and women's struggle for equality, oddly enough, pulled the boots out of the men's wardrobe. While the length of the skirts decreased, the tops of the boots increased proportionally. However, to say that women began to wear jackboots only in the 60s is not entirely correct. In addition to enlightened Europeans, high boots were actively worn by Native Americans, that is, Indian tribes, in order to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Rabbit and sheep skins were very helpful in this. Mention should also be made of the assumption that the first woman to wear men's high boots was Jeanne D'Arc.

By the end of the 19th century, boots were worn not only by men, but also by court ladies: lace high boots were an indispensable element of any fashionista. In England, over the knee boots were the paraphernalia of brothels and women of easy virtue. But over time, the passion for boots above the knee subsided, and it was decided to pull them out of grandmother's chest only in the middle of the 20th century. The jackboots owe their rebirth to the French (well, what else!) Couturier Roger Vivierwho created an image shocking with his sexuality Brigitte Bardot in the video "JeT'Aime Moi Non Plus".

And if at first the over-the-knee boots caused embarrassment even among the most daring women who were ready to openly declare their sexual freedom, then by the 70s, over the knee boots have become synonymous with the word "sex" and part of fetish culture. In the musical environment, high-toed shoes are promoted by punk idols led by Vivienne westwood.

Having reached the top, you need to either hold on to it, or be prepared for a rapid fall. Staying a trending thing within subcultures throughout the 80s and becoming a symbol of the early 90s thanks to the film "Beautiful girl", boots, as a result, finally discredit themselves.

Having such shoes in your wardrobe becomes bad manners, so for a while, high boots disappear from the radar. Over the knee boots periodically pop up in different seasons at fashion shows and in designer collections, but fetish boots cannot regain their former glory.

Rebirth

And yet, as a symbol of several eras and as a separate cultural phenomenon, the boots could not be simply forgotten and put back into the grandmother's chest of drawers. In the early 2000s, designers turned their attention back to high boots and created models for their collections. Pop divas team up with famous shoe brands to create their own over the knee boots. And fashionable gloss talks about what to wear with high boots for the next few seasons. So, winter-spring 2017 will definitely give you the opportunity to feel all the beauty of shoes, which ends almost where ... other parts of the body begin.

Fetishists

Some famous fashionistas can no longer be imagined without such a costume detail as boots: they wear them in everyday life, and complement their concert looks with high boots.

Eccentric Fergie not indifferent to shoes: the singer not only loves good and beautiful items, but also designs. True, she has not yet reached the creation of her own model of jackboots. But it is an active "carrier" high boots... There is nothing surprising in the fact that in such controversial boots "a woman of free views" feels comfortable.

Jessica Alba also repeatedly declared her warm relationship with the boots. The actress skillfully combines tall shoes with light and romantic floral prints and more elegant and formal outfits.

When talking about over the knee boots, one cannot fail to mention two divas with voluminous hips, who, nevertheless, this factor does not prevent them from flaunting in high tight boots. Between the word "boots" and the last name Kardashian you can safely equate: both Kim and her sisters, perhaps, do not recognize other shoe models, except for thigh-high boots (over the knee boots in English). And Kanye West, as part of his shoe brand, has made a line of over the knee boots that are in great demand among celebrities.
