Rihanna was chosen as both the host and the crowned queen of the annual West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval held at the Greystone Manor Supperclub in West Hollywood, CA last Wednesday night.
Strange for the guest of honor of a Halloween party NOT to be in costume when accepting her award. However, once you see the costume she changed into after the ceremony, you’ll realize why Rihanna didn’t want that many “official” pictures of it:

Rihanna kept things deceptively demure for the awarding ceremony in a black ribbed tank from The Row, a black below-the-knee skirt from Dolce & Gabbana and these mesh and suede paneled ankle boots from Alaia:
Her stunning Alaia boots are over a thousand dollars at Matches Fashion:
Alaia mesh and suede ankle boots, $1,118.00
Thankfully, mesh-paneled ankle boots are a common style so we easily found these lower-priced alternatives from Guess, Jessica Simpson and Glint at Amazon:
Guess ‘Parsha’ mesh and leather booties, $129.00
Jessica Simpson ‘Greeta’ mesh and suede t-strap booties, $108.99 to $114.99
Glint ‘Glam’ lace and satin booties, $109.95
