Normani’s Wildly Glamorous Heels Capture Attention at Sundance ‘Freaky Tales’ Premiere
Arriving at the star-studded Sundance Film Festival premiere of the highly-anticipated film “Freaky Tales,” songstress Normani turned heads in a bold Area outfit and vertiginous Christian Louboutin heels. Channeling what one might call “glamazon” energy, the “Love Lies” singer exuded confidence in her scene-stealing ensemble crafted by the designers behind some of the most avant-garde celebrity looks. Normani’s choice of footwear in particular made a dramatic statement – a sky-high pair of peep-toe slingbacks boasting the French fashion house’s signature glossy red sole underneath a platform of plush black fur.
Perched atop a slim stiletto measuring close to 6 inches, the pumps injected Normani’s polka-dot and crystal-embellished two-piece with a hefty dose of drama, their rich black leather, red bottoms and fluffy accents evoking a sense of unapologetic, fierce fabulousness. It’s the kind of high-octane glamour one might spot on a Paris catwalk or in the pages of a fantasy fashion spread, where anything goes and more is always more. Leave it to Normani to so skillfully translate that vibe to the streets of Park City.
The 25-year-old talent, who stars in her first feature film role in “Freaky Tales,” has cultivated a reputation for spotlight-seizing style plays not just on red carpets but also onstage and in her day-to-day life. She frequently steps out in audacious runway pieces from labels like Balenciaga, Prada and Givenchy, as well as designs from renowned celebrity stylist Jason Bolden’s emerging brand JSN Studio. Never one to shy away from a captivating beauty moment either, Normani often complements her modern-glam fashion choices with edgy manicures, graphic eyeliner shapes, bejeweled braids and the like.
So it came as no great surprise that she selected such a visually arresting ensemble for her Sundance debut, allowing her scene-making shoes to put an exclamation point on the overall effect. The Christian Louboutin fur platform slingbacks made the perfect partner for her crystal-dotted jacket and skirt from Area’s Fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection. Normani’s fondness for the buzzy New York brand has produced memorable style wins in the past, including the beaded fringe mini dress she wore to host last year’s MTV Video Music Awards after parties.
Between the exaggerated shoulders and glimmering gold and jewel-toned purple accents of her Area separates, plus the literal sparks kicked up by her heels’ red soles whenever she walked, all eyes lingered on Normani as she posed for photographers with fellow “Freaky Tales” star Dominique Thorne of “Black Panther” fame. From the flowing raven lengths of her hair to her dark, smoky eye makeup, right down to her daring Christian Louboutins, everything about Normani’s premiere ensemble dazzled. Much like her career trajectory since her Fifth Harmony days, her fashion imprint shows no limits, welcoming inventive flourishes, bold colors and plenty of sizzle. Where she’ll take her adventurous style next promises to be just as thrilling a spectacle.
