Unusual fashion: Kim Kardashian and Rihanna's vote for waist-high boots

The boots are slashed from the inner thighs, giving the impression that they are coming apart.

Kim Kardashian is known for giving her fans and fashion enthusiasts around the world something to think about. She made another statement after her Balenciaga extravaganza of catsuits and pantyhose, this time in a pair of boots unlike any other.

Kim was seen wearing waist-high boots rather than calf or thigh-high boots. Her all-black ensembles (which appear to be becoming a Kim K signature) always manage to pack in some element of sartorial surprise, proving that with the right eye, even monochrome looks can be eye-catching. 

She wore a simple black oversized hoodie from Vetements, which she paired with waist-high black boots from the brand's collaboration with Manolo Blahnik. The shoes are slashed from the inner thighs, giving the impression that they are coming apart. Kim wore a pair of skintight leggings styled by Dani Levi underneath.

This isn't the first time a celebrity has endorsed these boots. Rihanna was also seen wearing it. She, on the other hand, chose a pair of orange numbers to go with her floor-grazing orange coat, as well as a couple of classic ripped denim shorts and a black crop bustier. She completed the look with a bold golden choker.
