Should Rihanna Have Worn the Full Prada Look at the Miu Miu Show?


Rihanna has been having a blast checking out the shows at Paris Fashion Week, and yesterday's Miu Miu fashion presentation was no exception. She brightened up the arrivals in a colorful, chic, and cozy-looking Prada outfit. She exuded a strong diva vibe through her sharp Cleopatra bob, dark cat-eye sunglasses, multiple ear cuffs, and slim, long black-clad legs.

Rihanna chose the following brown chevron-striped sweater dress and black-red-and-yellow shearling coat from the Prada fall 2014 collection:

We think going for the "older sister" Prada was a wise choice for Rihanna because, to be honest, we don't think Miu Miu's quirky designs quite match her fierce personality.



However, we were let down when the singer decided to cap off her Prada ensemble with Manolo Blahnik "Chaos" sandals. We get it that they're her favorite go-to sandals, but, sigh, what a combo breaker.

We wish Rihanna fully committed to the look and wore these retro-futuristic wedges from the same Prada collection:

We're sure Miu Miu or Prada wouldn't have minded! What about you? Do you think Rihanna should have worn the full Prada look to the Miu Miu show, or are you fine with her outfit?



Expect the Prada fall 2014 shoes to drop at Barneys, Saks, and Nordstrom. As for the Manolo Blahnik Chaos sandals, you'll find them in black patent, nude patent, bicolor suede, glittery gold, and many other colors at Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.

Seven of the Fiercest Shoes at the Fourth Annual Essence Black Women in Music Event


We had a lot of fun shoe spotting at the Fourth Annual Essence Black Women in Music Event held at Greystone Manor in Los Angeles last Wednesday. The ladies really brought their a-game when it came to their shoes! And they weren’t just expensive designer shoes either — we spotted an under $50 pair that was styled so amazingly, it more than held its own against the thousand-dollar styles.



We did our job and spotted seven of the fiercest shoes at the Fourth Annual Essence Black Women in Music Event. Now, it’s your turn to let us know which one’s your top pick!
