The actress hit the premiere’s jet-black carpet in a head-turning, head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana look, that included a black ensemble that appeared to be a blouse and skirt set. She wore what looked like a floral lace blouse featuring a silky front placket and a pointed collar with a bustier-style bodysuit underneath.

The outfit, which was styled by Jennifer Austin, was complete with a figure-hugging black pencil skirt that hit just below the knees. The “Black Panther” actress also notably accessorized with black satin gloves and hoop earrings.

On top of everything, she added a dramatic floor-length leopard print fur coat. As for shoes, Bassett slipped into a pair of classic platform pumps, opting for a pair of satin round toe platform pumps also from Dolce & Gabbana that complemented her getup effortlessly.

Black platform pumps are one of the most popular red carpet shoe styles among celebrities. Coming in other finishes — like smooth leather, suede, and velvet — black heels with hefty platform soles that offer a bit of a lift are ubiquitous in Hollywood. A bevy of brands make similar silhouettes to the ones Bassett reached for on Tuesday evening. Brian Atwood, Casadei, Gianvioto Rossi, Charlotte Olympia, and Valentino are just some of the labels known for offering black platform stilettos.

Other celebrities who often showcased height-boosting platforms on and off the red carpet include Jennifer Lopez, Sabrina Carpenter, Sofia Vergara, and Taylor Swift. In recent years, larger-than-life platform styles accompanied by soaring heels have become a major trend. Variations from luxury brands come in a wide range of colorways and designs to choose from these days. From color blocking to crystal embellishments to pony hair uppers, the options are vast. Past appearances have seen Bassett step out in platform leather boots and strappy silver metallic platform sandals.

Bassett co-stars alongside Robert DeNiro in Netflix’s new political conspiracy thriller. In “Zero Day,” President Evelyn Mitchell (Bassett) summons former U.S. president Geoge Mullen (DeNiro) to find the source of a deadly global cyberattack. The show’s IMDB description reads, “In the midst of crisis: how can we discover the truth when it seems that the world is being destroyed by uncontrollable forces? Also, to what extent are conspiracy theories our own inventions or products of our imagination?”

The six-episode series also stars Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Dan Stevens, and Connie Britton. You can stream it on Thursday (Feb. 20).

Gomez’s stylist Erin Walsh shared her latest striking look on social media, complete with a video featuring a sneak peek of her upcoming song with Gracie Abrams, “Call Me When You Break Up.” The “Only Murders in the Building” actress was outfitted in a tailored wool mini dress from Roland Mouret underneath a voluminous faux fur jacket from Milk White.

Both the stately dress and the dramatic coat were a vivid shade of red. Hung Vanngo was responsible for Gomez’s pristine makeup while Renato Campora immaculate styled her long asymmetrical bob. Meanwhile, her jewelry hailed from NeverNoT.

Gomez’s monochrome look was completed by a pair of red leather pumps hailing from Jimmy Choo, specifically the luxury brand’s Ixia style. Standout features of the silhouette include the label’s recognizable drop heel, aka a stiletto that flares into a rounded bottom, as well as a vamp with a square outline. The design also features a classic pointed toe, sloped sole and enclosed heel. A red version of the Ixia with a 95 mm heel is marked at a price of $975 at Farfetch.

Gomez’s latest looks have each been the picture of elegance. She attended the BAFTA Film Awards earlier this month wearing a custom Schiaparelli gown with black velvet pumps from the same brand with a variation of a classic T strap design and a crystal-embellished spherical detail at the bottom of the heel. Another head-turning look was curated for the Golden Globes in January, when she wore a custom blue satin Prada gown with coordinating shiny pumps.

The basketball player chose a washed cargo trouser and bomber set from the brand Nahmias, while Ayesha chose a washed T-shirt and leather lace-up pants.

For shoes, Ayesha went bold. The stunner wore a pair of light wash blue denim Givenchy shark boots. The boots are thigh-high. They include an almond toe. They also spotert a stiletto heel of almost four inches on the back.

Most prominently, the boots include a silver padlock that matches the silver finishings of the rest of the boot. The Shark boot silhouette was first introduced in 2012 attracting vans like Lindsay Lohan. They were initially designed by Riccardo Tisci and notably featured a wide, conical like structure in addition to hardware at the top of the leg. In fall 2022, Matthew Williams updated the boot: he tweaked the hardware, adding his padlocks. Padlocks were a core part of the design language of Williams, incorporated throughout his products for Givenchy.

Givenchy is currently selling the Shark Lock over-the-knee stiletto boot for $2,895.

While Steph Curry wasn’t wearing hardware on his shoes, his styles weren’t a shrinking violet. They took up space in their own way: he wore a pair of Bottega Veneta black shoes. While it’s unclear which style they were, they follow the Veneta penchant for having a thick, rubber-injected sole and an imposing, shapely toe. This is seen most prominently in the popular Puddle boots but is also visible in the company’s Torino ankle boot.

The longtime talk show host showed off a unique black dress featuring tweed panels, sheer detailing, and silver zipper piping. The eye-catching sleeveless design from Alexander McQueen’s fall 2011 collection also boasts a high, frayed neckline adorned with ornate round silver appliques. The knee-length look was originally styled with a belt cinched at the waist when it debuted on the runway over a decade ago.

On foot, the two-time Emmy winner wore black leather boots courtesy of Alaïa, opting for a knee-high style that skimmed the frayed hem of her skirt. The boots combined slightly slouchy shafts with almond-shaped pointed toes and slender block heels measuring around 4 inches. Subtle medial side zippers rounded out the luxury design.

Keeping warm as she left the “Good Morning America” studios in Manhattan, Hall wrapped up in a black wool double-breasted coat courtesy of Fendi. The mid-length coat boasted furry beige oversized pockets emblazoned with the brand’s signature double F motif in black lettering.

Alaia is a French luxury fashion house that was founded by Tunisian-born designer Azzedine Alaia in the ’70s. Prior to opening his own atelier, he spent time working for renowned brands like Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, and Thierry Mugler. The Parisian brand really took off following the launch of his first ready-to-wear collection in 1980.

Alaia’s current creative director is Belgian designer Pieter Mulier, a close friend of Raf Simons, who previously worked as design director at Dior. He also served as global creative director of Calvin Klein and accessories director at Jil Sander. Mulier’s first Alaia collection was for spring 2022. Celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross, Naomi Campbell, and Laura Harrier are regular fixtures at Alaia’s fashion shows.

Hall stopping by “Good Morning America” Wednesday coincides with the announcement that her daytime show “Tamron Hall” has been renewed for a seventh season. “Season seven makes us the second longest-running syndicated talk show in Disney’s history,” she enthusiastically told GMA host George Stephanopoulos. The broadcast journalist is also known for making history as the first Black woman to co-host an hour of NBC’s “Today.” Leaving NBC in 2017, she premiered her own daytime talk show in 2019.

“Tamron’s distinctive, thoughtful ability to tap into the meaningful issues of the day continues to resonate with her devoted ‘Tam Fam‘ across ABC-owned television stations and the Hearst Television markets,” said Debra OConnell, president of ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks.

Doechii was shot by Richie Shazam for the feature and styled by Emma Oleck. In the cover image, she wears a red Miss Claire Sullivan pouf wing leotard and a pair of Area plate drop earrings. But it’s the shoes that demand attention.

The Florida-born rapper wore one of Christian Louboutin’s latest styles: The Kate Clawmax pump. Most notably, Doechii’s version is the Goldie color way, covered in golden hair. This hair is atop a calf leather upper. The pump’s silhouette is an iteration of the popular Kate style with a soft pointed toe and rounded vamp. The shoe includes the signature Louboutin red sole — though it has been upgraded to the company’s “Everlasting” version, which does not chip.

The other distinguishing detail about the shoe is its heel. The heel is a beveled style that curves up and through the pump, piercing the back of the design. The heel is about four inches tall. The company is selling the shoe for $1,395 but all sizes are currently either listed as sold-out or purely available for pre-order. The black patent leather version of the shoe is $1,290 but is also sold-out. Retailers like Neiman Marcus still have the shoe.

The Kate Clawmax is the latest in a long line of shoes iterating on the Kate. The Kate itself is an iteration of the Pigalle but the company has since notably introduced the Kate in 2011, the So Kate in 2012, the Kate Max and now the Kate Clawmax. This year, the company also released the Miss Z, which is an update on the Kate.

Both the Kate Clawmax and Miss Z sport the new “Everlasting Red Sole.” While shoppers have complained in the past that the lacquered red soles will chip and peel off if not treated, the company has now treated the soles of various styles in its Spring 2025 line to prevent this. Those styles include the Kate Clawmax, Miss Z, Bellarose, and Lock Me Up Booty boot.

Spotted sans coat despite the low temperatures, the Oscar-winning actress sported a black pinstripe blazer over a sheer black dress featuring floral black lace detailing. While the sultry slip dress hit just below her knees, the double-breasted blazer covered her hips and upper thighs. She accessorized her business-meets-pleasure look with gold hoop earrings and a striking gold chain necklace that dropped down to rest in her décolletage.

The “Perfect Stranger” star reached for Christian Louboutin’s iconic So Kate pumps for the romantic outing. Opting for a glossy patent leather version, the sharp stilettos effortlessly complemented her monochromatic ensemble.

Louboutin’s So Kate is considered the brand’s best-selling silhouette to date. Named for ’90s supermodel Kate Moss, Christian Louboutin first launched the Kate over a decade ago, with the So Kate coming a year later. The stiletto heels come in multiple height options and a wide range of colors and finishes for just about every taste.

“The Kate is a sharp style, simple and very complex at the same time,” Louboutin has said of the ever-popular shoe. “If the line is not very perfect, you do not have any embellishment to hide it. It sounded so much like Kate Moss, simple yet very sophisticated. I felt this pump just had to be named after her, because it was so Kate.”

As for Hunt, the multi-talented artist looked cozy in a blue plaid zip-up hoodie and matching trousers with baggy legs. The singer-songwriter styled the set with black leather boots featuring seams down the middle.

Earlier in the day, Berry sat down with the “Today” show’s Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Justin Sylvester to promote her menopause initiative, Respin. She also talked about finding her person in Hunt later in life. “I spiritually called him. I manifested him. I knew that if the right person didn’t show up for me, I’d be better off going it alone,” she shared.

Throughout her enduring career, Berry has hit the red carpet in strappy sandals on countless occasions. Looking back at her style evolution, she’s often reached for sandals in eye-catching colors or metallic finishes. Memorably, she donned pastel pink satin sandals featuring lace-up ankles to the 2000 MTV Movie Awards. The “Never Let Go” actress has also been known to sport soaring platform styles and sleek pointed stilettos like the pair she wore last night. She’s a fan of peep-toe silhouettes, crystal embellishments, and unique accents.

Rihanna has showed support for him throughout the trial, showing up in court on multiple occasions — and wearing the Amina Muaddi Barbara boot to court in Los Angeles more than once.

While a traditional heeled pump has been historically known as the go-to “court shoe,” that would have been too predictable for the style aficionado, so her wearing the edgy boot should come as no surprise.

The Barbara boot has evidently been a staple for Rihanna in recent days. The day that Rocky was acquitted, the “Stay” singer wore the reptilian-inspired boots with creased green trousers and a gray pinstriped button-down which was tucked into her pants.

In court on Feb. 14, the shoes accompanied an outfit that included a statement-making Balenciaga crocodile print dress, which costs $6,890, making for a cohesive sartorial theme. And these outfits came after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were seen together on Jan. 28, when she paired the shoes with a Canadian tuxedo and a long black leather jacket.

Featured in Amina Muaddi’s Drop 24/25, a collection released in October 2024, the below-the-knee Barbara boot is a fitted style with a sharply pointed toe and a skinny 105 mm stiletto heel. The snakeskin print leather includes an array of earth tones, making the shoes a somewhat neutral hued footwear option with the ability to complement a variety of outfits. The shoe retails for $1,820 from the luxury brand.

Rihanna has been a fan of Amina Muaddi’s designs for years. Under her Fenty line, the two even teamed up to create limited-edition footwear collections. She supports her creations even when her own name isn’t attached, however. In addition to wearing and rewearing the Barbara boots, she modeled Muaddi’s Giorgia sandals for a recent Savage x Fenty campaign. Rihanna turns 37 tomorrow, Feb. 20 — we can expect another year of the superstar showcasing a range of stylish footwear likely including many pairs of Amina Muaddi shoes.

Styled by Tim B, Ashanti wore a hooded dress from Fjolla Haxhismajli with a sweetheart neckline and embellished bust. Named the “Crimson Eclipse” dress, the long sleeved number featured a thigh-high front slit which allowed fans to see her shoes.

For footwear, Ashanti returned to a style she has worn before: the Tom Ford Lock stiletto. The sandal is an open-toe style. It includes an almond-shaped toe bed. It also includes a singular strap over the toes and then another slingback like strap behind the heel of the foot. From that comes the ankle strap. The most distinguishing detail of the shoe is the gold padlock that hangs off the ankle of the style.

The sandal also includes the Tom Ford signature gold stiletto heel. It measures just over four inches. Ashanti chose the gold version of the made in Italy design. Tom Ford counts the style as one of its best sellers and has it available for $1,350.

Ashanti enjoys Tom Ford heels, having worn them over the years. In fact, in April 2022, she wore the black version of the Tom Ford padlock sandal for a performance at Musikfest. She also reached for Tom Ford throughout 2023. In fact, she ended 2024 in a pair of gold-covered t-strap sandals from Tom Ford at her husband’s Black and White Ball. They were from the company’s Titan line.

Ashanti is obviously not the only fan of Tom Ford footwear. Keke Palmer has been wearing her fair share of heels from the brand. Most recently she wore the company’s Newton sandal to the “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special” event.

The “CBS Mornings” anchor loves a shock of color in her outfits, and this particular look certainly delivered on that front. She wore a hot pink dress with a geometric design of periwinkle squares across it. A fuzzy pink, purple and red scarf helped to keep her warm in addition to a cozy fur coat in a lively carnation color, a lighter shade that complemented the saturated Barbie pink of her dress.

Even her wavy hairstyle, colored a deep red, matched her outfit. We’ve seen a similar color scheme from King before — in London in September she attended the after party for the play “Coriolanus” wearing a glittering knit dress with purple and red stripes along with pointed red boots.

Returning to her Feb. 18 look, Christian Louboutin boots in a fun violet hue accented King’s vividly colored outfit. The shoes featured an almond toe and a stiletto heel in addition to a tall slouchy shaft. The signature color of the label, an unmistakable shade of red splashed across the sole of each shoe, could be glimpsed on the inner side of the stiletto heel in photographs, a welcome accent fitting in with her eye-catching aesthetic. This isn’t the first time King has worn purple suede shoes — she donned a pair of pumps in a purple hue when she attended MoMa’s 2024 Black Arts Council Benefit in April.

While King’s Feb. 18 ensemble displayed a color scheme she’s shown love for in the past, her look might also be associated with recent Valentine’s Day. She certainly seemed to be representing the holiday through her sartorial choices on Feb. 14 when she attended “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert” at Radio City Music Hall. For that occasion, she went with a velvety red suit and hot pink top; a pair of sparkling pink sneakers maintained the theme in addition to a multi-colored clutch.
