Rihanna, who counts footwear designer as one of the many hats she wears, has shown love for one particular shoe as of late: Amina Muaddi‘s snakeskin print Barbara boot. The music sensation and fashion mogul wore the shoe most recently on Feb. 18, the day that her partner A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of shooting his former friend A$AP Relli.
Rihanna has showed support for him throughout the trial, showing up in court on multiple occasions — and wearing the Amina Muaddi Barbara boot to court in Los Angeles more than once.

While a traditional heeled pump has been historically known as the go-to “court shoe,” that would have been too predictable for the style aficionado, so her wearing the edgy boot should come as no surprise.
The Barbara boot has evidently been a staple for Rihanna in recent days. The day that Rocky was acquitted, the “Stay” singer wore the reptilian-inspired boots with creased green trousers and a gray pinstriped button-down which was tucked into her pants.
In court on Feb. 14, the shoes accompanied an outfit that included a statement-making Balenciaga crocodile print dress, which costs $6,890, making for a cohesive sartorial theme. And these outfits came after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were seen together on Jan. 28, when she paired the shoes with a Canadian tuxedo and a long black leather jacket.
Featured in Amina Muaddi’s Drop 24/25, a collection released in October 2024, the below-the-knee Barbara boot is a fitted style with a sharply pointed toe and a skinny 105 mm stiletto heel. The snakeskin print leather includes an array of earth tones, making the shoes a somewhat neutral hued footwear option with the ability to complement a variety of outfits. The shoe retails for $1,820 from the luxury brand.
Rihanna has been a fan of Amina Muaddi’s designs for years. Under her Fenty line, the two even teamed up to create limited-edition footwear collections. She supports her creations even when her own name isn’t attached, however. In addition to wearing and rewearing the Barbara boots, she modeled Muaddi’s Giorgia sandals for a recent Savage x Fenty campaign. Rihanna turns 37 tomorrow, Feb. 20 — we can expect another year of the superstar showcasing a range of stylish footwear likely including many pairs of Amina Muaddi shoes.
