Meh.

she looks awesome, i was waiting for someone to wear this boots, finally! so happy it was rihanna! love her

I do not hate them: I DETESTE them!! bleh!!

"HATED IT two snaps in a circle"
How can a shoe be so ugly that not even Jennifer Connelly or Rhianna can pull them off. Balenciaga's spring looks weren't all that hot!

im really not a fan of them, but if anyone can pull em off its her and ONLY her!

Well, she is a pop star and a cute one at that, so I think she can pull it off. I would not wear them, but they are striking.

its UGLY just cause something is different doesnt make it HOT

only b/c she is famous..... if she was a regular fashionista then she would have to be shot.

She Looks Amazing

For some reason they remind me of big tropical spiders.

She wears those boots well; I like the look.

I think she works them and looks confidant and great. This is a great example of people wearing the clothes vs. clothes wearing the people.

i disagree, i think she wears them awfully.
seriously rhianna???
i adore them on other people...

and that HAIRCUT is like a modified bowlcut...

Those shoes would be really hot all black. She looks amazing from her shoulders down, but I hate the haircut.

I would like them a lot more if they were a solid color. tons of little straps + busy pattern = eyesore.

I love them.

LOVED IT!!! FOUR SNAPS.... I could so pull these off!! Rih Rih is always tres chic/edgy to me. This is what fashion is about!!

they're an art piece. they should stay that way, on the catwalk or in editorials, thats it.

She looked so much more feminine with the hair she had in the Umbrella video....its just looks too masculine for her now

She actually does them better than they showed on the runway. And I normally don't care for her style.

I like it, not love.
But if there's anyone or anyway to wear them it's her like this.

I don't mind Rihanna, but with this haircut and these boots, she just looks like a good looking alien.
as for Balenciaga... super ugly!

I actually like them. I think she pulls them off pretty well.

As much as I love the shoes and Rihanna, its her hair that ruins the look for me. like one of the other commentors, it looks like a short bowlcut, i love her such more with the mohawkesque side sweep

They'd be hot in black...but the pattern is so busy it's hurting my eyes. Like the rest of the outfit though. Rihanna's got style.

The shoes are interesting, design wise, but in reality they do not work best with the outfit.

dont dig it. they're making me dizzy.

I wouldn't walk down the street in those but if your makin an appearance it doesn't seem so bad. she's young, gotta live life to the fullest.

I love these! I've been wanting a pair for a while now but I can't afford them.

i hate them, they
are too much.

love them. Only she and Jennifer Connelly can pull off this much couture.

Sick!!

ummmmm.........only she can pull them off. Also this is about her shoes not her hair.

Yikes.

Like! You def have to be the right kind of person to pull these off but she does so flawlessly with the all black attire on top and the poppin' gladiator shoes!

ONLY Rihanna could pull that off.

Yes, they are definitely some freaky shoes. BUT what I LOVE is that I'm seeing someone wear them in the real world! I feel like I've seen these featured at least twice in every fashion mag I've seen in the past 3 months.

I love the idea, but for me maybe just in black, not black and white it makes me a bit dizzy.

not a fan...not at all.

Yuck. Looks like a snake puked to hard and went inside out. Yuck. This is one trend that I can't wait to be over.

I dunno....I just don't think they work with the rest of the outfit

I think the boots are FIERCE! However, I would've paired them with an understated, form-fitting (maybe one-shouldered?) black dress that really put the spotlight on the boots only.

not my cup o tea

and dont even get me started on how much I dislike rihanna

I HATE THOSE SHOES - but Rihanna pulls them off. She has that edgy style that no one else can emulate. The boots actually look good on her because she wore an otherwise simple, subdued outfit, unlike the Jennifer Connelly monstrosity. God, I know you're the spokesperson...but really now. She looked gross.

They just dont go with the outfit.

hate it, can't stand her.

Bleh. I've never liked balenciaga, is it so bad?

I dont like them but Ri RI makes them look good. She pulled it off.
