In contrast, Kamala Harris chose pointed-toe pumps with a higher heel, a style that has become somewhat of a signature for her. These heels, while stylish and professional, also suggest a form of power dressing aligned with her political stature. The choice of a higher heel can be perceived as a confident statement, adding an element of formality and authority that befits her position as a key figure in the Democratic campaign.

The differences in their shoe choices are indicative of their personal approaches to fashion. Michelle Obama’s selection prioritizes comfort and practicality, consistent with her public engagements that often involve interacting with audiences at a more personal level. Meanwhile, Harris’ preference for higher heels underscores traditional views of professional attire in political and formal settings, reflecting her role within the rigorous demands of national politics.

Both styles, however, serve a higher purpose beyond mere aesthetics. They reflect the personas of each woman, with Obama embracing a more relaxed yet impactful approach, and Harris projecting traditional professionalism and assertiveness. These footwear choices are not just fashion statements but are woven into the fabric of their public profiles, each enhancing the wearer’s presence and message during crucial public appearances such as the campaign rally.

The shoe styles of Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris at the campaign rally not only accentuated their outfits but also underscored their functional roles and personal branding within the political sphere.

Beyoncé, during the Kamala Harris campaign rally in her hometown Houston on Friday, showcased not just her vocal support but also her unmatched fashion sense, making a powerful sartorial statement. She was dressed in a sharply tailored black double-breasted blazer and skirt from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s collaboration with Wardrobe.NYC.

The aesthetic was distinctly Beyoncé: strong, assertive. Her attire featured sculpted silhouettes with padded shoulders, a hallmark of her commanding elegance. It was complemented by a sculptural miniskirt.

However, it was her shoes by Jimmy Choo that tied the entire ensemble together. She opted for pointed-toe pumps that incorporated delicate ankle straps, stiletto heels and curvaceous quarters — following the theme of exaggerated angles in her dress. The shoes not only enhanced her outfit but also accentuated her presence on stage, blending seamlessly with her powerful stance on women’s rights and bodily autonomy.

“H-town! We are so happy to be standing here on this stage as proud country Texan women, supporting and celebrating the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris,” Beyonce said. “A woman who’s been pushing for what this country really needs right now: unity. It’s impossible to not feel the energy in this room. The positivity, the community, the humanity.”

Continuing, “We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history,” she stated. “I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we’re not divided. Our past, our present, our future, merge to meet us here. Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what’s possible with no ceilings, no limitations. Imagine our grandmothers, imagine what they feel right now. Those who have lived to see this historic day.”

Beyoncé’s speech brought together the significance of the rally, touching on themes of unity, dignity and the generational importance of the moment, all while her fashion choices echoed the strength and clarity of her message. The appearance and her choice of footwear will likely be remembered as a symbolic representation of her support for Harris and the values she stands for, showcasing how fashion can be a powerful tool in political and social expression.

Beyoncé was joined by Kelly Rowland. Jessica Alba, Willie Nelson and more were among the guests.

Nicole Scherzinger effortlessly sported a pair of pointed-pump shoes on Friday afternoon while walking around New York City.

Currently performing on Broadway with the Sunset Boulevard Musical, the singer enjoyed a break from the show for which she is getting rave reviews, and walked around the city in a pair of white pointed-toe pumps. The shoes were most likely from Gianvito Rossi and were constructed with patent leather material and emphasized by their sharp, triangular design. Rounding out the silhouette was a stiletto heel estimated to be in-between 4-to-5 inches in height, which is typical of the heels Sherzinger wears both on and off the stage.

As for her outfit, the actress opted for a cut out blue tank with matching palazzo pants that included pleats on the sides. Accessorizing her ensemble with a pair of black sunglasses, she let her long dark locks fall in a middle part style.

Pointed-toe pumps are one of fall’s most designated shoe styles, and are now renowned for their classic composition and ability to blend together elements of vintage and modern-day fashion. As such, they have been a staple amongst many celebrities over the past month or so amongst pumps lovers within their footwear wardrobe.

In fact, Selena Gomez was just spotted in a pair of her own while attending 2nd Annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles, Calif., on Thursday night. For the occasion, the actress wore a patent leather pair of Christian Louboutin pumps highlighted by a mid-foot strap that crossed along her foot in a diagonal pattern. While the back of her shoes couldn’t be seen completely, it’s likely the shoes were finished with a closed-back design. As for as the heels go, Gomez has been known to choose heels within the 4-to-5-inch range, so it’s likely that was the case with this pair as well.

Many brands such as Gianvito Rossi, Chanel, Gucci and more offer their own variation of the pointed pump style, with prices typically ranging anywhere from $75 to $1,000 dollars for a pair. 

Camila Cabello offered her own interpretation of “pretty in pink” at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards, which took place in Bel Air, CA on Oct. 24. Presenting her stylist Katie Qian with an award, the “Twentysomethings” singer illuminated the event in an archival Elie Saab gown and rhinestone-embellished pumps from Rodo.

Cabello made a statement in a light pink ruched gown featuring a vibrant floral pattern, which offered the ensemble bright hints of fuchsia, sky blue and more harmonious tones. Hailing from Elie Saab‘s 2004 spring/summer collection, the top portion of the dress appeared to be made of a silky fabric while a long, semi-sheer layer underneath offered a difference in materiality. Another noteworthy design element was an opening at the top of the left thigh which allowed Cabello’s leg to be seen. The musician leaned into a glamorous Hollywood aesthetic with a furry white stole.

Cabello continued the pink color scheme with her sparkling footwear, which came from Rodo. She wore a pair of shiny carnation-hued pumps adorned with silver rhinestones, which were most heavily concentrated on the toe portion of the upper and were spread further apart in back. The pump was designed with a classic silhouette, sharping her outfit with a pointed toe and slender heel.

Cabello likes to try out a variety of footwear styles, from mesh pumps to charm-adorned sandals to Veneda Carter x Timberland stiletto boots.

Lionel Messi’s wife Antonelli Roccuzzo kicked back in some stylish sneakers while posing with her man for Instagram.

The model dressed in a sporty getup complete with green cargo pants and a coordinating oversized bomber jacket. Crafted from a lightweight yet durable material, the pants featured multiple pockets, adding both functionality and a touch of urban flair.

She paired the cargo pants with an oversized bomber jacket in a coordinating shade of green. The jacket’s relaxed silhouette exuded a sense of chill, while the ribbed cuffs and collar provided a structured touch. 

To complete the look, Roccuzzo selected Adidas Originals Rivalry Crepe Shoes retailing for $150. In the 1980s, the 3-Stripes brand reigned supreme on basketball courts worldwide. Inspired by that era, the adidas Rivalry Crepe shoes offer a modern and stylish take on a classic basketball design. The upper, crafted from premium suede, is accentuated by crepe sidewalls, embossed logos, and reimagined tooling. This combination of vintage elements and contemporary aesthetics creates a distinctive look that captures the essence of preppy playfulness.

Roccuzzo’s shoe choices exude both sophistication and style. Her red carpet appearances often showcase trendy platform heels, tall boots, and sandals from renowned brands such as Casadei and Louis Vuitton. However, her off-duty looks also feature comfortable flat Hermès sandals. Roccuzzo’s sneaker collection is equally impressive, boasting a range of styles, including flats, platforms, and wedges from top labels like Converse, Gucci, and Giuseppe Zanotti.

Alongside her was her husband strapped into a pair of Adidas Campus Light Bad Bunny Wild Moss. The limited-edition sneakers were first unveiled at Coachella on April 14, 2023. The new striking Wild Moss colorway features an all-over Wild Moss Green upper, tongue, and sockliner. Cream-colored rope laces rest atop the stacked double tongue adorned with Bad Bunny branding. For added support, Bad Bunny and adidas have included a brown padded cushion around the shoe’s sockliner. The adidas Campus Light Bad Bunny Wild Moss was released on April 29, 2023, with a retail price of $160.

Karol G made a fiery arrival at the 2nd Annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit, held in Los Angeles on Oct. 25.

She glided gracefully in a shimmering burgundy dress, its lustrous fabric catching the light and reflecting hues of deep wine and crimson. Intricate blooming details adorned the front of the garment, resembling a garden in full bloom. The bodice featured a halter neckline as the dress cascaded down the carpet, creating a captivating silhouette. 

To ground her look, she strapped into a pair of Christian Louboutin satin sandals. The design flaunted an understated silhouette, complemented by a delicate ankle strap and a fashionable square-shaped toe that enhances the overall style with sophistication. Additional features include a satin upper, an adjustable buckle closure at the ankle, and a round open toe atop a 3.9-inch covered heel.

In contrast to her usual preferences for pumps and boots, Karol G occasionally embraces the sandals trend when the fashion mood strikes her. During the 2024 VMAs black carpet event in New York on Wednesday night, the Colombian singer graced the UBS arena in a vibrant pair of Amina Muaddi Lupita PVC wedge mules, showcasing their bright yellow hue.

Established in 2020 by Selena Gomez, The Rare Impact Fund aims to raise $100 million globally to support youth mental health. Notable attendees at the event included actor Billy Crudup, athlete Whitney Simmons, and influencer-entrepreneur Jackie Aina. The occasion featured musical performances by Karol G and Teddy Swims, along with a live auction organized to benefit the organization’s mission.

Zendaya and Tom Holland coordinated their outfits last night for the launch of the actor’s new non-alcoholic beer company Bero. Both dressed in rich burgundy tones, Zendaya picked out a pair of black Louboutin pumps to round out her look while Holland selected fresh white Prada sneakers.

Zendaya looked fashionable in a custom leather Louis Vuitton gown featuring a V neckline and delicate spaghetti straps. The dress was fitted and fell to the ground with slits along the side offering her legs some freedom. A gold belt detail in front brought glamorous intrigue to the outfit and picked up her dainty gold necklace. Meanwhile, Holland matched his girlfriend with a short-sleeved crew neck shirt in a red wine hue. He paired the shirt with a pair of black trousers to create a casually chic menswear look.

In classic fashion, Zendaya went with a pair of shiny black Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps. The shoes featured a sharp toe, steeply sloped sole and towering stiletto heel. With her stylist Law Roach helping to curate her looks, Zendaya has for many years been a champion of the So Kate style, which gets its name from Kate Moss.

She’s worn many variations of the shoe — in an outfit which paid homage to Cher at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this month, she slipped into a gold embossed So Kate pump. Moreover, she frequently wore a white version while promoting the film “Challengers.”

While Zendaya stayed loyal to Louboutin, Holland, on the other hand, wore a pair of clean white lace-up sneakers from Prada; the shoes bore the brand’s triangular logo on the side.

Zendaya was in the city yesterday ahead of the event in a casual look consisting of a tank top, baggy pants and a pair of sneakers from On, with whom she has a multi-year partnership.

Celebrities like Karol G, Lil Dicky, David Henrie and more arrived dressed to impress to support the cause. Scroll through to see the footwear they wore to the event.

Hollywood’s brightest stars graced the red carpet at Variety’s 2024 Power of Women: Los Angeles Event last night. Among them was Kate Beckinsale, who stood tall and radiant in a pair of towering pink platforms.

The actress donned a dress that possessed a transformative quality. Designed with a corset top, it provided ample support, emphasizing the waist and neckline while maintaining a structured silhouette. The voluminous skirt, in contrast, brought a touch of whimsy and movement to the overall design, creating a garment that combined elegance and playfulness.

Beckinsale’s footwear, made from luxurious shiny materials, featured a bold pink hue. The shoe’s peep toe design playfully reveals a glimpse of the foot, while knotted uppers add an intricate touch. A towering 6-inch heel elevates the shoe, further accentuated by a platform sole. The blooming flower at the center of the toe strap gave it the ultimate pop.

The platform heel trend gained popularity in the 1970s with the disco era, and it has since made a comeback in various forms. Platform heels can now be found in a range of styles, from sandals to boots, and they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

In recent years, platform heels have experienced a notable resurgence in popularity. This resurgence can be attributed to a growing fashion trend that seamlessly blends practicality with striking aesthetics. Platform heels have transcended their status as a fleeting trend and have become a staple in the wardrobes of renowned celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Salma Hayek. 

The “Click” star has been seen in this silhouette before so it seems to be a part of her shoe philosophy. The versatility of these shoes makes them equally suitable for red carpet events and casual streetwear, providing an effortlessly chic upgrade to any outfit.

The Variety Power of Women event serves as a tribute to the most outstanding and influential female figures in the entertainment industry, recognizing their exceptional achievements and contributions. In 2024, Amy Adams, Carol Burnett, Zoe Saldaña, and Sarah Hyland were honored for their philanthropic efforts.

Selena Gomez was a sight to behold at the 2nd Annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit, held in Los Angeles on Oct. 25. For the mental health-focused event, the Rare Beauty founder slid into a pair of glossy Christian Louboutin pumps to match a sophisticated black gown.

Gomez brought elegance to the event in a black one-shoulder dress with a fitted bodice and asymmetrical skirt. The skirt featured layers of structured folds, with a flowing piece of fabric on the right side falling gracefully to the ground. Her shoulder-length brunette hair was styled in gentle waves while a few sparkling rings adorned her hands.

Gomez selected a pair of black patent leather pumps from Christian Louboutin to match her gown. She appeared to be wearing the brand’s Jumping style, which featured a single thin strap stretching diagonally across the top of the foot. The shoe was a D’Orsay style, with the upper cut down along the side, revealing more of the foot.

The pumps were designed with an enclosure in back covering the heel while the upper had a V-shaped outline in front, which was just slightly misaligned with the sharply pointed toe. The brand’s signature red hue can be seen on the shoe’s sole and the inside of its narrow stiletto heel. The style can be purchased secondhand from Poshmark. She wore the shoes recently during the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations for “Emilia Pérez” at SAG-AFTRA Foundation Robin Williams Center on Oct. 15 in New York City.

Gomez has been showing off a slew of chic red carpet looks in recent times. She’s been booked and busy promoting the film “Emilia Pérez“; among several ensembles, she wore red Louboutin So Kate pumps and black platform Giuseppe Zanotti sandals for appearances related to the upcoming movie. She also slipped on a go-to pair of glossy black Jimmy Choo pumps when she attended a Rare Beauty and Sephora event earlier in October celebrating World Mental Health Day.
