Rihanna has stepped out in Shanghai wearing head-to-toe Ferragamo. She slipped on red patent pumps with a wedge heel — a new pair from the brand’s fall 2024 Collection — to match a custom viscose jersey dress by the luxury Italian brand.

Rihanna was in China to promote her massively successful cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty. A pop-up for the company recently took place at a photography museum in the coastal city.

Described by Ferragamo as responsibly sourced, Rihanna’s dress is made of a fitted stretchy material that caught the light as she posed. While the top half of the dress includes a high neckline and long sleeves, the bottom half is made up of long loops that fell below the singer’s knees. She completed the dramatic look with long red leather gloves that went past her elbows and blended with her sleeves. Rihanna’s ensemble was styled by Mel Ottenberg.

Meanwhile, the unique red shoes feature a high wedge, which created a dramatic sloping effect for the wearer. The design is made up of many sharp angles, including a pointed toe. The sleek heels include two thin ankle straps, which mirrored the loops of the dress.

Not only is Rihanna a billionaire entrepreneur and chart-topping recording artist, but she’s known around the world as an undisputed fashion icon. From her music videos that have amassed over a billion views to her distinctive pregnancy fashion sense, the musician-mogul knows her way around a wardrobe.

Among her many pursuits, Rihanna has forayed into the shoe industry, having established a collaboration between Fenty and Puma. She was recently seen wearing the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty Earth Tone sneakers at a London launch party for the same shoe.
