Beyonce And Rihanna's Envious Shoe Game: Top 6 Spring Must Haves

Spring shoe trends tend to change from season to season, but never its importance. Rock the wrong shoe and your entire outfit can suffer a fail. Fabulous hair and flawless makeup is important, but when you’re stepping out eyes won’t stop at your face. Fabulous fashionable shoes are imperative to complete your look or begin it—especially this spring.

We are taking cues from Beyonce after she stepped out in a floral getup with bumble bee yellow pointed-toe heels. Rihanna is always on top of the must-haves and went for a metallic pointed-toe heel to complete her salt-and-pepper ensemble.

Color blocked

Why you should stock them: If you’re afraid of this trend for clothing options, try them on your feet first! This colorful look can jumpstart any basic, simple spring outfit.

How to rock them: What’s great about this fun shoe is it does the work for you. You can go from a flirty, spring dress to a simple white sheath and look fly either way. Or lounge in a tub with a glass of champagne like Solange Knowles. 🙂

Woven

Why you should stock them: Different textures to an outfit upgrade a look instantly. With woven pieces on shoes, there’s an instant touch of edge without going too far.

How to rock them: Try this look with an ethnic-inspired linen jumper to keep up the flair. Play around with patterns to kick up the textural feel to transform any stale spring fit.

Metallic

Why you should stock them: Metallic heels are an update to sequined styles. There’s a futuristic feel that wreaks freshness for the new season and suitable any time of day.

How to rock them: Metallic is a great finisher for sophisticated and sexy ensembles. Think pencil skirts or even a full, strapless dress with a pretty, pastel print.

Ankle strap

Why you should stock them: Ankle straps are an instant boost in sex appeal—they wreak sultriness without begging for attention this spring.

How to rock them: A thin-stiletto ankle strap heel trumps a heel sans the strap and rocking them with a pair of colored jeans is bound to get you noticed. Wanna try a thicker heel? Try with an office high-waist pant—amazing!

Pointed Toe

Why you should stock them: These are a classic that are getting many updates this season from metallic to bold hues that the desire can be overwhelming to pick just one (so don’t).

How to rock them: Try a cinched-waist look or a floral ankle-pant that will perfect prissy looks superbly for the warmer weather.

Wedge

Why you should stock them: Wedges look great on every body type. The endless spring styles available can lengthen or extend a leg and make them pop.

How to rock them: Think miniskirt to dress, add a bit of finesse to a maxi skirt with high splits, or even a shift for a spring look that screams relaxation.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
