RIHANNA AND MANOLO BLAHNIK ARE BACK WITH MAJOR BLING

Rihanna and footwear designer Manolo Blahnik have teamed up for a third and final collection called ‘So Stoned,’ with— you guessed it—plenty of gemstone adornment. The four new styles will be available as soon as July. each uses PVC straps and boasts a Perspex heel lavishly decorated with large multi-colored Swarovski crystals—the final effect is a fusion of Blahnik’s signature elegant style with Rihanna’s telltale risqué and blinged-out edge. Included in the So Stoned mix is a mid-heeled mule named Spice, a high heel called Bajan Princess, and a strappy heel, which goes by the name of Purple Chalice. The final showstopper in the lineup is a calfheight gladiator sandal titled Poison Ivy. The collection starts upwards of $1,000 and is expected to sell out close to immediately upon launch in select Manolo Blahnik stores and online.
