Rihanna Adds a Naked Shoe to Her Cannes Wardrobe

Rihanna Adds a Naked Shoe to Her Cannes Wardrobe

Vogue21-05-2025

By now, you've surely heard that the Cannes Film Festival enacted a no-nudity rule on the red carpet. But does that include naked shoes?
Rihanna first hit the Croisette in a bright blue Alaïa bodycon dress—complete with bump-baring cutouts—for the premiere of Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, which stars her partner, A$AP Rocky. Next, she wowed us in another sexy, cutout-heavy dress, wearing a black Brandon Maxwell number with a hip-high slit and a bare midriff on a dinner date with Rocky.

But today, Rih gave us a taste of her off-duty maternity wardrobe on a stroll around Cannes. She opted for a black ribbed long-sleeve Khaite dress with a fringe skirt. While others might style the swishy dress with a strappy sandal, Rihanna broke out a beloved pair of clear PVC heeled sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. Practically invisible, it almost looked as though she was strutting around town on the balls of her feet.
This isn't the first time we've seen Rih in these shoes. In 2017, she wore them with a white shirtdress to a Madeworn x Roc96 pop-up event. Whether they're worn with a tailored minidress or a fringed maxi, Rihanna's naked shoes transcend both time and occasion.

PSG manager Luis Enrique hopes to celebrate Champions League win in memory of daughter

Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique and his family suffered the ultimate heartbreak in 2019, when their nine-year-old daughter Xana died after a battle with cancer. It was a tragedy that rocked the entire soccer community and one which stays front and center in the 55-year-old's thoughts today. For Enrique, who took a short break from the sport five years ago, it also serves as inspiration which he hopes will help his PSG side claim its first Champions League trophy against Inter Milan on Saturday. Enrique has already won the Champions League as a manager, when he guided Barcelona to the trophy back in 2015. In those post-match celebrations, Enrique celebrated with his daughter on the pitch and there is one particular memory he would like to recreate this weekend. 'My daughter loved parties and I'm sure where she is, she's still having parties,' Enrique told reporters earlier this year. 'And I remember an incredible photo I have of her in the Champions League final in Berlin, after winning the Champions League, putting the flag of FC Barcelona in the pitch. I have the wish to be able to do the same with Paris Saint-Germain. 'My daughter won't be there, but she will be… she won't be there physically, but she will be spiritually and that, for me, is very important.' The family tragedy five years ago happened when Enrique was manager of Spain. In June 2019, he stepped away from the role to spend more time with his family. In August that year, he announced that Xana had died. 'You'll be the star that guides our family,' he said in a statement at the time. In November 2019, Enrique returned to his role as manager of La Roja and guided his team to the semifinals of Euro 2020. He then resigned from his position after a disappointing showing at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, where Spain was knocked out of the Last 16. Prior to his stint as the national team manager, Enrique enjoyed huge success as head coach of the Blaugrana, winning the La Liga title, domestic cup and Champions League in 2015 – otherwise known as a European treble. His coaching career followed an impressive spell as a player – the Spaniard played for the likes of Real Madrid and Barça, as well as earning 62 caps for the national team. He won three La Liga titles during his playing days and an Olympic gold medal for Spain at the 1992 Games. Given his pedigree as both a player and manager, it was perhaps no surprise when PSG, one of Europe's biggest clubs, announced him as its new head coach in 2023. He hit the ground running, winning the domestic treble in his first season and guiding the French side to the Champions League semifinals, falling to German club Borussia Dortmund in a shock result. This season, he has had to rework the entire team following the departure of French superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid but, testament to his tactical nous, his young squad now looks like arguably the best team in Europe. After clinching both the league and two domestic cups so far this season, Enrique needs the Champions League title to become just the second manager in history to win two European trebles with two different teams. Pep Guardiola is the only manager to do so currently, with Barça in 2009 and Manchester City in 2023. But through all his recent success, it's the memory of the time spent with his daughter which shines the brightest. In a recent Movistar+ documentary, Enrique said he felt like he was a 'very lucky' man, despite the heartbreak his family has suffered. It means when he stands on the touchline in Saturday's Champions League final, Enrique won't be alone. 'My daughter came to spend nine marvelous years with us. We have a thousand memories of her, videos, incredible things,' he said. 'Xana is alive. In the physical plane, she's not here, but in the spiritual one, she's here because every day we talk about her, we laugh, and we remember. 'I believe that Xana still watches us.'

Maria Grazia Chiuri to Exit Dior

This article first appeared on Vogue Business. To receive the Vogue Business newsletter, sign up here. It's the end of an era. After a nine-year run as Dior's creative director of women's haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories collections, Maria Grazia Chiuri is leaving the French luxury house. 'Christian Dior Couture announces that Maria Grazia Chiuri has decided to leave her position as creative director of women's haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories collections,' the house said in a statement on Thursday. 'I extend my warmest thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, since her arrival at Dior, has accomplished tremendous work with an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which allowed her to design highly desirable collections,' Christian Dior couture chairman and CEO Delphine Arnault said. 'She has written a key chapter in the history of Christian Dior, greatly contributing to its remarkable growth and being the first woman to lead the creation of women's collections.' 'I would like to thank Monsieur Arnault for placing his trust in me and Delphine for her support, Chiuri said. 'I am particularly grateful for the work accomplished by my teams and the ateliers. Their talent and expertise allowed me to realise my vision of committed women's fashion, in close dialogue with several generations of female artists. Together, we have written an impactful chapter of which I am immensely proud.' A successor has yet to be announced. This comes after Dior appointed Jonathan Anderson as its artistic director of men's collection in April, succeeding Kim Jones, who exited in January. The Italian designer began her career at Fendi in 1989 as a handbag designer and moved to Valentino in 1999 as an accessories designer before being promoted to co-creative director alongside Pierpaolo Piccioli in 2008. She was appointed at Dior in 2016, becoming its first female designer since the house was founded in 1947 — she succeeded Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano and Raf Simons.

Maria Grazia Chiuri's Best Dior Looks in Vogue

At Christian Dior, Maria Grazia Chiuri worked to turn a legacy house into a home. She had, after all, come from Rome, where she worked with two family businesses, Fendi and Valentino. The first woman to helm the maison that Monsieur Dior built, she was also one of the few female creative directors in luxury. Her approach to the history of the maison was generous and inclusive, making sure to reference all of the head designers (including Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, and John Galliano) who came before her. 'If you think only about M. Dior, I think that you have lost your heritage,' she told Vogue's Hamish Bowles, pointing out that Christian Dior himself was at the helm of the company he created for only 10 years. Declaring craft to be preeminent, Chiuri worked with extended families of artisans from all over the world to create magic embellishments on light-as-air dresses. Building out from there, she always kept kindred female spirits—empathetic feminists you might say—fully in her vision. The designer wasn't subtle about her agenda, which she set out from her first collection for the house, spring 2017, via a T-shirt that borrowed its slogan from the title of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's thoughtful essay, 'We Should All Be Feminists.' What Chiuri accomplished at Dior was to convert words into action. Grace Wales Bonner was invited to reinterpret the curvy Bar jacket one season, and it was recreated for the French singer/songwriter Yseult, who represents a different beauty ideal than that put forward by the house founder. More broadly, Chiuri embraced the natural body. Pulling elements from dance, sport, and Grecian styles, she freed women's natural form within the dress, providing support where needed without imposing it. The result, as can be seen in the photographs below, is modern woman-friendly couture, executed with a light and expert touch.
