Rihanna’s post-pregnancy style era is shaping up to be what happens when ease meets edge. Just weeks after trading heels for sneakers during her final trimester, the star stepped out in Los Angeles wearing what can only be described as the perfect blend of “new mom energy” and old-school Rihanna chaos — an oversized button-up and her beloved Amina Muaddi snakeskin boots.

Now, these aren’t just any boots. They’re the Barbara boots — pointed-toe, sky-high, and unapologetically loud in that embossed snakeskin print that dares you to look twice. They’ve been in her rotation for months, proving that in Rihanna’s world, a “staple” doesn’t have to be safe.
To balance all that drama, she kept the rest of her outfit effortlessly undone: an oversized khaki shirt-dress with a contrast white collar and sleeves casually rolled up, like she had somewhere to be but didn’t need to rush. The styling — red lip, slick ponytail, goggle-style glasses — was minimal, but never boring.
If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll know these boots have had quite the year. In February, they peeked out beneath dark green pleats, then resurfaced days later under an animal-print Bottega look. By March, she was wearing them back-to-back — first with bootcut Celine jeans and a leather coat, then paired with a snakeskin Gucci bag from Tom Ford’s reign.

Everyone has their wardrobe constants — denim, knits, sneakers. Rihanna’s version just happens to involve dangerously high reptilian stilettos. And honestly? That feels right.
