Balencia Gladiator Boots on Rihanna: Fab or Not?

Rihanna is probably the only person in the world who can beautifully wear this pair of gladiator boots from Balenciaga. Prior to the concert, I confided to my friends that Rihanna has this pair... and we're quite hoping that she'd wear these during the concert. She didn't.

On shoehunting.com, it was written that "if Rihanna can’t make these work, then there’s little luck for the rest of us." I beg to disagree. Rihanna looks fabulous in this pair. She has great, long, toned and well-sculpted legs and these boots are perfect for her. She downplayed the rather unique and elaborate boots by wearing a simple black emsemble. Ooh-la-la! Great choice.

Anyway, I told my friends that these boots cost $16,000 or roughly PhP 785,000.00. But I'm wrong. :P These boots by Balenciaga cost upwards of $12,00 or PhP 590,000.00 only. :P Let's just hope that these are loaners from Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière. :)
