Selena Gomez Shows off Elegant Look In Custom Gown and Velour Shoes From Schiaparelli at the Baftas 2025 https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/selena-gomez-schiaparelli-baftas-shoes-velvet-pumps-1234769597/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 01:02:25 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234769597 Selena Gomez continues to celebrate “Emilia Pérez” in head-turning elegant attire. The multi-hyphenate artist attended the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards in London on Feb. 16 wearing a custom Schiaparelli gown with shoes from the brand to match, both of which exuded a vintage sophistication.

Gomez’s full-length fitted gown was a sight to behold, sparkling with intricate silvery embellishments from the halter neck strap down to the column skirt. Jewels dangled from the dress, offering the sumptuous garment a chandelier-like quality. Underneath the shimmering scoop halter neck, a black velvet off-the-shoulder detail with a sweetheart neckline contributed to the gown’s vintage aura. Her accessories included dazzling jewelry from Tiffany & Co. in addition to her Abril Barret engagement ring gifted by her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Gomez recently announced that she and Blanco are putting out an album together called “I Said I Love You First,” set for a March 21 release.

Gomez maintained the retro aesthetic with a shoe choice courtesy of Schiaparelli: a pair of pumps playing with the classic T-strap aesthetic. The “Only Murders in the Building” actress appeared to be wearing a style seen in the luxury brand’s fall 2024 haute couture show. The velvet heels feature a triangular outline along the vamp aligning with a pointed toe in front. A vertical strap across the foot connects with two diagonal straps, creating more of a Y shape than a T, but still recalling the footwear style that was ultra popular in the earlier 20th century; also of note, this shoe demonstrated a slingback version of the aesthetic, rather than a closed heel design. Not to mention, Gomez’s shoes shimmered with a crystal-embellished spherical detail at the bottom of the stiletto heels; this element and the velvet material aligned with the design of her dress.

Gomez has been leaning into classically elegant fashions in recent times. She showcased white slingback pumps from Santoni, for example, when she received the Virtuoso Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival earlier this month. In another white heel moment, she donned pumps from Aquazzura when she appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in January. Discover more of her style below.

Jalen Hurts’ Fiancee Bry Burrows Celebrates Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX Win in Chocolate Brown Pointed Boots With Bottega Veneta Set https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/jalen-hurts-fiancee-bry-burrows-brown-boots-super-bowl-1234767689/ Mon, 10 Feb 2025 22:19:35 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234767689 Love was in the air at Super Bowl LIX. Jalen Hurts‘ fiancee Bry Burrows, whose full name is Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, celebrated the Philadelphia Eagles quaterback after his team defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

While the weather in the city hit a high of 76 degrees, plenty of stars like Taylor Swift opted for a pair of thigh high boots and Burrows was no different. Burrows kept it lighter with her ensemble, selecting a Mélange Vest with a removable leather collar and a matching A-Line miniskirt with front pockets from Bottega Veneta. The vest, which was a blend of green, white and fennel, is currently available at Nordstrom for $2,500, while the skirt retails for $1,500.

While Burrows kept a low profile throughout the sporting event, a photo from behind the scenes showed her ensemble. The post was shared by Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham’s wife Carlyne R. Graham after the win, and Burrows’ knee-high boots were on full display.

She appeared to be wearing the Schutz Mikki Up Boot in dark brown, and while they looked like high-shine patent leather in the Instagram snap, they are made of leather and feature a side-zipper. The boots featured a knee-high silhouette, an exaggerated pointed toe, and a slim and on-point stiletto heel measuring around 3.3 inches. The shoes retail for $258.

Hurts got engaged to Burrows in September 2024. The couple confirmed the news to Essence magazine. The athlete proposed to Burrows during a romantic vacation in the Caribbean before the start of the NFL season. The couple have reportedly been dating since they were both students at the University of Alabama.

Travis Kelce Arrives in Custom Amiri Mahogany Suit With Chain Loafers for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans https://footwearnews.com/fashion/celebrity-style/travis-kelce-custom-amiri-chain-loafers-super-bowl-lix-1234766958/ Sun, 09 Feb 2025 23:30:24 +0000 https://footwearnews.com/?p=1234766958 For a second consecutive year, Travis Kelce was seen wearing custom AMIRI to the Super Bowl.

Inspired by the Autumn-Winter 2025 Runway collection, which debuted in Paris on January 23rd, 2025, Kelce wore an elongated mahogany double-breasted peak rever jacket, hard-crease flared pants and an open-collar lurex stripe shirt, which he paired alongside a debossed croc leather belt and a leather MA Weekender bag completed with a real bloom rose dipped in 24-karat gold. He rounded out his look with the Sunset Sunglasses from AMIRI’s new Eyewear collection.

On his feet were a coordinating custom pair of the brand’s MA chain loafers, which featured a thick black strap along the mid-foot region. The shoes were constructed with leather and finished with a slight block heel measuring a little over 1 inch in height. Kelce frequently chooses loafers for his high-profile appearances that require a dressier look.

Loafers and oxfords first began gaining popularity at Oxford university circa the early 1800s as a rebellious act against knee-high and ankle-high boots. Often made with leather material (although sometimes they can be made with different fabrics like suede as well), they are regarded for their comfort, versatility and ability to last for decades.

A closer look at the shoes.

The modern dress shoe is much different than the original shoe established in the 1800s, as the present model offers a more refined look. Many brands including Gucci, Versace and Burberry offer different variations of oxford shoes. While Kelce may prefer a dressier look from time-to-time, his frequent choice of shoes are sneakers.

For the Super Bowl LIX Opening Night, or “Media Day” this past week, Kelce wore a pair of the unreleased Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick By Brick,” which features an all-red upper intended to represent the work that’s gone into building Sylvester’s career.

Sylvester spoke a bit about the shoe with Footwear News recently, saying, “This is a nod to the triumphs and the challenges, trials and tribulations throughout my career. This has not been easy, me being a Black BMX athlete from Queens, New York. People look at that like, ‘How is this even possible?’ There was a lot of things I had to deal with, whether it was race, going into a sport where there wasn’t a lot of individuals that look like me or come from the place that I come from. Having to navigate that, having to develop a brand and learn how to do that, all of those things that like go into achieving success.”

Kelce wearing Jordan wasn’t a surprise as he sported many different variations of the Air Jordan 11 cleat as his signature throughout the 2024-25 NFL season.

Super Bowl LIX features a rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The game will take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and will feature Kendrick Lamar at the halftime performer.
