On Sunday, the pair hosted a party for his Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon during the NBA All Star Weekend in San Francisco.

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.

Doechii Chooses Wild and Furry Spiked Christian Louboutin Heels for ‘The Cut’ Cover https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/doechii-kate-clawmax-louboutin-heels-the-cut-cover-1234770530/ Wed, 19 Feb 2025 19:29:58 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234770530 Rapper Doechii is experiencing growing popularity. The performer’s star has been rising over the past few months, reaching new heights after a show-stopping performance at the Grammy Awards where she was dressed in Thom Browne. Now, she’s on the cover of “The Cut” magazine, which proclaims that win is just the beginning.

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.

Ashanti Sticks With Tom Ford Padlock Heels to Attend the Los Angeles Premiere of Her New Film ‘No Address’ With Husband Nelly https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/ashanti-sticks-tom-ford-padlock-heels-no-address-premiere-1234770455/ Wed, 19 Feb 2025 17:49:05 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234770455 Ashanti has a new project. The multi-hyphenate stars in Robert Craig’s new film “No Address,” which had its Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday. On the red carpet, the R&B singer turned up the glam. For hair and makeup, that meant perfectly curled locks by Dhairius Thomas, while makeup artist Erica LaPearl treated her visage to a sun-kissed, blush-tinted look.

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.

‘Anora’ Star Mikey Madison Looks Prim and Proper in Skirt Suit and White Satin Aquazzura Heels on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’ https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/mikey-madison-white-satin-aquazzura-heels-jennifer-hudson-1234770402/ Wed, 19 Feb 2025 17:08:05 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234770402 “Anora” lead Mikey Madison is still singing for her supper, pressing her lead in the awards circuit race to next month’s Oscars. The star, who recently picked up a BAFTA Award in London for the role, has made her latest appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” promoting the project.

For the taping, Madison went prim and proper. She chose a printed skirt set featuring a demure cap sleeve and a knee-length pencil skirt. The jacket, with its nipped waist, fastened with two buttons.

Styled by Jamie Mizrahi, she also wore a pair of white Aquazzura heels. In particular, she wore the Love Affair silhouette. The shoe includes a pointed toe box and a rounded vamp. It is also a single-sole. The sides and the back counter are cut low, providing ample viewing of the sides of the foot. It also creates a sophisticated silhouette that traces the incline of the foot. The heel is just over four inches.

An ankle strap and buckle add security. Aquazzura does not appear to be selling the Love Affair in white satin currently but it does come in black suede for $875.

Madison has been quite enjoying the awards circuit tour. After picking up her BAFTA wearing a custom Prada dress, she celebrated her win at the British Vogue after party in a gold Prada dress and pair of brushed open-toe Prada sandals. Before that, she was picking up an honor at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in an all red look that included Ferragamo pumps.

Ferragamo is a label she’s returned to a few times. She’s worn the brand’s t-strap Lysandra shoe on multiple occasions.

“Anora” is a romance and comedy film released on Oct. 18, 2024. Directed by Sean Baker, the film follows Anora, a young woman from Brooklyn, who gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

Beyonce Goes Full Denim in Latest Levi’s Campaign Images With Amina Muaddi Platform Heels https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/beyonce-levis-campaign-denim-amina-muaddi-platform-heels-1234770361/ Wed, 19 Feb 2025 03:24:17 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234770361 All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Footwear News may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Beyonce is back with her latest set of images for Levi’s. The “Cowboy Carter” performer has been sending fans throughout it over the last month. She dropped the dates and pre-sale tickets for her upcoming tour in addition to releasing a new fragrance. Now, the star is featured in a new set of images for her Levi’s “Reiimagine” partnership.

In the new photographs, Beyonce goes full-on Canadian tuxedo. She wears a sleeveless denim vest with a pair of jeans. Over her shoulder is slung a leather jacket. The tagline of the campaign is “Fit for an icon.”

For shoes, Beyonce and stylist Shiona Turini turned to Amina Muaddi, one of Bey’s favorite footwear brands as of late. In particular, she wore a custom Yigit cut out pump in a dark blue denim.

The Yigit pump is a high-heeled style from Muaddi. It features a sharply pointed toe — which is emphasized by the thick platform — as well as a sizable stiletto. It also includes an ankle strap for security. The stiletto measures almost six inches high. The cut out version is a d’orsay style heel meaning that the upper is separated into a front and back with the middle cutout, exposing most of the foot. This is available in black patent for $1,370. The classic black satin version, which features no cu tout, can be purchased on the brand’s site for $1,335.

The singer has worn the Yigit before: she wore them to the 2024 Grammy Awards in black satin. Then she reached for them again to film a teaser video teaser for her Christmas Day Beyonce Bowl appearance. She even sported a pair of chrome Yigit pumps to a Roc Nation pre-Grammy brunch in 2024. When she launched Cécred a year ago, she wore a pair of white patent leather Angelica pumps from the brand which are similar to the Yigit.

This all comes within a greater wearing of platform style shoes by Beyonce. She sported the cult-favorite Marc Jacobs Kiki boot in the poster for her Beyonce Bowl and when she accepted her Album of the Year prize at the Grammy Awards this year, she was wearing a pair of platform stilettos from Schiaparelli.

For her first set of Levi’s images, the star sported boots. In particular, she wore the Christian Louboutin Santiabooty boots. They were paired white blue jeans and a t-shirt to recreate a 1985 “Launderette” ad.

Anya Taylor-Joy Mixes Vintage Mugler With Shockingly Simple Flat Shoes for ‘SNL 50: The Anniversary Special’ Party https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/anya-taylor-joy-vintage-mugler-ballet-flat-shoes-snl-50-anniversary-special-party-1234769895/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 18:58:51 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769895 After hosting the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” in 2021, Anya Taylor-Joy was back with the crew this weekend. On Friday, the actor joined the cast at the “SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert.” For that event, she wore a white fur coat with a white halter-style silk and lace dress. She paired it with her favorite Jimmy Choo Minny heels featuring a white satin upper. She continued the weekend on Sunday, attending “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special.”

For both events she was styled by Ryan Hastings. For the latter, she wore a vintage Thierry Mugler piece from the designer’s fall 1995 collection. The piece features a raised collar, nipped waist and peplum like detail. She paired it with a maxi skirt. While she appeared to wear a black pointed-toe pump on the red carpet for the event, at the after party she swapped it out for flats.

The shoes were the Mansur Gavriel Glove ballet flats. The style is shockingly minimal, as is standard for Mansur Gavriel. It is a slip-on with a leather upper. Made in Portugal, the shoe features an asymmetrical, almost almond toe. There is a seam that goes up from the toe of the shoe to the pointed vamp. At the top of that seem is one perpendicular stitch. The sole includes a heel of less than an inch.

In addition, the shoe is lined in red fabric.

Though Mansur Gavriel initially attracted a lot of attention for its minimal bucket bags, over time the label has expanded. The company’s Dream Ballerina ballet flat developed a cult celebrity following that included Gigi Hadid, Katie Holmes and Kaia Gerber. That style differs in that it contains a grosgrain trim as well as a knotted bow on the vamp.

Other standout shoes at the party included Lady Gaga’s platform boots. Those six-inch styles were from Enfants Riches Deprimes.

This weekend has seen the celebration of 50 years of “Saturday Night Live.” On Friday, that included a concert event. Tonight is the anniversary special with the likes of Cher, Miley Cyrus, Pedro Pascal, Miles Teller and Leslie Jones as guests to participate.

Zoe Saldana Celebrates BAFTA Win in Saint Laurent Satin Slingback at Netflix After Party https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/zoe-saldana-bafta-win-in-saint-laurent-satin-slingback-netflix-after-party-1234769872/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 18:00:01 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769872 Zoe Saldana continues to add to her trophy mantle. Fresh off of picking up a Critics Choice Award for her role in “Emilia Perez,” the actress has a matching title from BAFTA. Though she was flustered onstage while accepting the win — she did manage to dedicate it to her trans newphew Eli — she was the image of cool later that night.

For the Netflix after party, Saldana stuck with Saint Laurent. She wore a tuxedo jacket from the brand over a black slip dress. She accessorized with diamond studs and a necklace from De Beers.

For shoes, styled by Petra Flannery, she wore a pair of black Saint Laurent L’Entracte slingback shoes. The styles are made of a satin crepe. They feature a sharply pointed toe, as is the style of Saint Laurent. They also have a rounded vamp.

The stiletto heel is 4.5 inches and there’s an elasticated slingback strap.

Saldana has been wearing quite a bit of Saint Laurent on this tour but it is to be expected: Saint Laurent Productions and brand creative director Anthony Vaccarello are producers of “Emilia Perez.” In addition, Saldana is a face of Saint Laurent. And the label has been one of the most ardent proponents of slingback styles over the past year. This was noticeable at the 2024 Cannes International Film awards, where a number of “Emilia Perez” actors wore Saint Laurent slingbacks, but also throughout the year. That’s caused the style to trend. But Saldana likes options.

At the Critics Choice awards she chose an open-toe sandal from Saint Laurent called La Scandale. That platform style does have a slingback of sorts but offers an additional ankle strap which differs from what is typically considered a slingback. She had previously worn a black version of that heel at the Golden Globes. In addition, she recently chose Christian Louboutin shoes for a press appearance. While on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” she wore a pair of head-turning Belle and Jewels pumps from the brand which featured a gilded heel and bejeweled ankle embellishment.

Lady Gaga Pumps Up Height in Massive Black Platform Boots for ‘SNL50: The Anniversary Special’ https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/lady-gaga-platform-boots-for-snl50-the-anniversary-special-1234769833/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 17:09:33 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769833 Lady Gaga is still loving her platform styles. Though the multi-hyphenate artist is in a new era, she’s not letting go of her platform style shoes. The performer was on the scene Sunday night at the “Saturday Night Live 50: The Anniversary Special” event as well as the after party to follow. For both she was styled by Hunter Clem who had previously done work for the star during her Chromatica era.

For the “Saturday Night Live” events, Clem put Gaga in a grey dress from Atelein. The one shoulder design features a ruching detail and was styled with black gloves.

For shoes, Clem brought in height: Lady Gaga wore a pair of Enfants Riches Deprimes platform boots. First identified by the Instagram account La Maison Gaga, the boots are a knee-high style. They are made of buffed black calf leather and feature a zip closure on the inside. They also include a square toe.

Most noticeably, the shoes feature a thick platform and corresponding size-able block heel. The platform is 3.5 inches with the heel itself being 6 inches.

The company is currently selling the shoe for $3,800.

The boot is a silhouette than many fashion fans are familiar with now. Most notably, this platform boot with a block heel is the same shape as the Rick Owens Kiss boot which was introduced in 2019. That Owens collection was inspired by Larry Legaspi, the costumer for the band Kiss. But it’s also a style that is somewhat similar to the Marc Jacobs Kiki boot which was introduced in 2016 — that version’s heel is more sculpted than block. It, like the Owens Kiss style, is now a staple of the label.

Gaga has long been a fan of platform styles, due in part no doubt to her own height. Early in her career she became known for wearing towering Pleaser heels. As the years have gone on she’s swapped them out for designer styles, even wearing the Marc Jacobs Kiki. On her “Joker: Folie a Deux” press tour she opted for platforms from Christian Louboutin amongst others. More recently, she multiple pairs of platform shoes to the Grammy Awards include a pair of vintage 1983 Vivienne Westwood Elevated Court pumps and a pair of Mugler booties.

‘Anora’ Star Mikey Madison Celebrates BAFTA Win in Gold Prada Dress and Open-Toe Sandals at British Vogue Party https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/anora-star-mikey-madison-gold-prada-shoes-sandals-british-vogue-party-1234769822/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 15:51:38 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769822 Mikey Madison seems to be cruising her way to an Oscar. The “Anora” star picked up yet another trophy on Sunday night in London. She took home the Best Actress prize at the ceremony, the latest in a surprisingly fruitful award circuit. While Madison wore a floor-length cream-colored Prada dress with a matching floor dragging boa for the ceremony, she chose a punchier Prada gold mini-dress for the British Vogue & GQ Celebrate Fashion & Film after party.

Styled by Jamie Mizrahi, Madison chose a pair of open-toe brushed-finished Prada sandals as shoes. The styles are gold and feature a thick strap across the toes. This strap notably sports the triangular Prada logo plaque in the center. The silhouette is single-sole with an almond-shaped toe. It includes a slingback-style strap at the back of the sandal. That also includes an attached ankle strap featuring a small buckle.

The stiletto heel is almost four inches. Prada doesn’t currently available in this iteration any longer — though FarFetch and other retailers have a few left for $1,290. Instead, the company offers it without the logo and a thinner toe strap in silver and black though, with both versions going for $1,220. For those who love the logo, the company does offer a similar platform style.

Madison wasn’t the only celebrity to wear the style on Sunday. In New York, Scarlett Johansson was also dressed by Prada as she attended “Saturday Night Live 50: The Anniversary Special.” For that event she wore a black midi-length dress featuring silver embellishments and silver spaghetti straps. For shoes, she wore the open-toe Prada sandals in metallic silver.

It’s probably worth it to mention that quite a number of women were out and about in sandals that exposed their toes. Kylie Jenner was in a pair of dainty Amina Muaddi sandals for the BAFTA Awards. She paired them with a vintage John Galliano sheer dress. Blake Lively made a surprise appearance at “SNL 50” in a pair of Aquazzura heels that were just as precious.

Emma Stone Stuffs Popcorn in Dress Pockets, Wears Red Open-Toe Louis Vuitton Shoes for ‘SNL50: The Anniversary Special’ https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/emma-stone-red-open-louis-vuitton-sandal-snl50-anniversary-special-1234769775/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 03:26:44 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769775 Emma Stone wanted to get her own joke in before “Saturday Night Live” kicked off its 50th anniversary special. The performer took to the red carpet with a bit of a gag: Her red custom halter dress from Louis Vuitton had pockets. And while this is often a detail that most women applaud in design, it’s likely not for the same reason Stone wanted the extra space. Into her pockets she stuffed popcorn which left a trail behind her as she walked the carpet.

Styled by Petra Flannery, the dress also contained a front split. This made it very easy to see her shoes. The heels are open-toed with a red-satin upper. The shoes are likely custom Louis Vuitton. They feature a thick strap over the toes with a rounded vamp. They are a D’orsay style meaning that the front and back of the upper are two separate parts. There’s an ankle strap on the back of the shoe. There’s also a wrapped stiletto heel that likely measures about four inches.

It is likely that Stone wore the same shoes to the Golden Globes last month. She also wore a red Louis Vuitton dress to that event. Though we could not see her full shoe, it was clear that she had chosen an open-toe style.

She’s not the only one to choose open-toe red satin shoes this award season. At the Critics Choice Awards where she took home an award, Zoe Saldana wore an open-toe style from Saint Laurent. In particular, she wore the brand’s La Scandale heel. That towering style features an open-toe, ankle strap as well as a platform. They were a custom version. She was styled by Flannery as well.

But at “SNL 50: The Anniversary Special” styles varied. Sabrina Carpenter stuck with platform styles, as is her habit, and wore the Christian Louboutin Loubi Queen Alta in nude. Blake Lively, who attended with her husband Ryan Reynolds, chose a crystal-studded Aquazzura Mini-Tequila sandal. Keke Palmer opted for a pair of Tom Ford Newton sandals with a brown snake-effect upper. All of those shoes featured exposed toes.

This weekend has seen the celebration of 50 years of “Saturday Night Live.” On Friday, that included a concert event. Tonight is the anniversary special with the likes of Cher, Miley Cyrus, Pedro Pascal, Miles Teller and Leslie Jones as guests to participate.
