Having turned 24 on February 20, 2012, Rihanna was seen celebrating the night of her birthday at the Japanese restaurant Nozomi in London, England.

Rihanna rocked a white and black fur jacket and a tuxedo-striped black tube jumpsuit for the party. Gold served as the color of her accessories, from her gold hoop earrings, gold jewelry, and gold nails down to the gold heel-less shoes on her feet.

The long hem on Rihanna’s jumpsuit might have covered her feet in most of the pictures from that night, but when the paps could photograph her shoes, they were NOT to be missed.
That is a seriously shiny gold color on those shoes, ladies. Worthy of an international popstar who is off to celebrate her birthday and is to be the center of attention at her own party.
We’ve featured Rihanna’s heel-less shoes so many times before, so we all already know that they are these heel-less platform sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti:

What we didn’t realize is just how dazzlingly gold they truly are—the product photos don’t do them justice!
Rihanna’s choice of Giuseppe Zanotti’s heel-less platform sandals for her 24th birthday celebration exemplifies a bold footwear trend embraced by various celebrities. Taylor Swift, for instance, defied shoe physics in heelless Giuseppe Zanotti shoes at the 2015 Grammy Awards, pairing them with a stunning teal dress.
Similarly, Rita Ora was spotted in Giuseppe Zanotti’s iconic heel-less design at the 2013 Brit Awards, showcasing the brand’s avant-garde appeal. Are you still a fan of heel-less shoes, or do you think their wow factor has already run its course?
