How to Wear Over-the-Knee Boots Like Rihanna, Gigi, and More

Here, Rita Ora played up the boots' inherent dramatic quality with a badass beaded blazer and fishnets. Why not go all out? 

Emily Ratajkowski complemented her high-slit Altuzarra dress with equally sexy boots that showed off the style's full appeal—a great idea for a holiday party outfit.

Rihanna treated her pair as pants when she styled them with nothing other than a pink cape coat. The leg-hugging style lets her topper be the star of the show. 

Not all dresses are created equal, but you can easily take one from day to night with over-the-knee boots. Jaime King’s sweet cream number is transformed by her footwear.

On a chilly fall day, Gigi Hadid swapped standard tights for over-the-knee boots that she paired with an Ann Taylor sweater dress and winter coat. The head-to-toe black look creates one lean, long line. 

Perhaps the easiest way to wear thigh-high boots is with a swingy, mod mini dress. Jessica Alba juxtaposed an all-black pair with a graphic frock for her own Twiggy-like moment.
