Rihanna just landed a brand-new British Vogue cover, and took the opportunity to announce a shoe collaboration with Manolo Blahnik. And when Rihanna's making shoes for Manolo, you know they're not going to be a simple pair of satin BB heels. Instead, she designed thigh-high glittery denim boots with an embellished garter belt.

The singer posted an Instagram of the shoes (called the 9 to 5 Boot — you know, for the office!) and, most importantly, a visual on how to pull off styling them. All you need is the fashion team from British Vogue, a matching denim coat, and great lighting:

The other upside to wearing these is that Rihanna herself might spot you and chase you down the street. "The day I see a woman in the street wearing my shoes... I am sorry for that woman because I'm going to literally run after her, shouting, 'Stop! Selfie! Who are you? Where did you get them?' I'm going to have a moment," the singer said in her cover interview.

But at night, it's a whole different story. "Guuurrrl! Those boots are dangerous!" Rihanna told Vogue. "If you're trying to get back home to your bed, don't wear them boots! You will get kidnapped in those boots, those boots are trouble."

The collaboration goes on sale on May 5th, exclusively at Blahnik's New York, London, and Hong Kong stores.
