Selena Slays in Sky-High Heels
Selena Gomez has catapulted from Disney darling to leading lady on both the silver screen and red carpet. Whether gracing premieres in romantic Rodarte or commanding attention in commanding Coach, her sartorial evolution from ingenue to icon continues to captivate. Her footwear in particular has reached dizzying new heights.
Ms. Gomez continues to ascend the A-list echelon, recently garnering Golden Globe recognition for her compelling performance in “Only Murders in the Building.” She joins a constellation of luminaries orbiting accolades this season, including Ayo Edebiri, Natasha Lyonne, Quinta Brunson, Rachel Brosnahan and Elle Fanning. While her acting ascends to atmospheric new heights, her shoes continue to send fashion into the stratosphere.
Recall her 2016 ‘Manus x Machina’ Met Gala ensemble, which saw Selena skyrocket in chunky Louis Vuitton boots. With contrast white laces that popped against black platforms, she towered mightily over the technological theme.
Fast-forward to the 2017 Harper’s Bazaar Icons fete, where slender stilettos in Valentine cherry by Valentino romanced her pale pink gown. Ever the sartorial chameleon, she shifted into darkly dazzling Coach pumps for the 2017 AMAs. Bejeweled black leather lent her look commanding confidence.
2018 saw her premiere ‘Hotel Transylvania 3’ in slinky Oscar de la Renta heels, their silver crystals and hardware a lovely accompaniment to her floral finery.
At the 2020 Hollywood Beauty Awards, she took Aquazzura platforms for a spin, their peep-toe crossover straps highlighting her bronzed glamazonian gleam. Just this past year for her deeply personal Apple+ documentary “Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me,” she hit the premiere in eye-catching Paris Texas mules, their crystal embellishments and pointed vamps electrifying her purple slip dress.
Indeed, Selena has spent 2022 and 2023 continuing to reach rarefied heel heights. Whether spicing up Variety’s Hitmakers Brunch in patent Totême mules or slaying the VMAs in Jimmy Choo’s ankle-strapped cherry sandals.
she remains fiercely anchored in fashion fantastic. As her acting accolades accrue, no doubt her footwear will keep apace – ever skyward in style.
