Fresh off their appearance at the 38th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards on Dec. 4, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky helped give back to Harlem community at a Dec. 5 event organized by Puma, a brand both artists have partnerships with.

Joined by other Puma ambassadors at the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem amid the holiday season, the couple helped distribute Puma sneakers, apparel, accessories and more items to over 200 members of the club. Whilst engaging with community of her partner’s native Harlem, Rihanna wore a cozy outfit set off by a pair of knit boots from Amina Muaddi.

The multi-hyphenate dressed up in a gray sweatshirt-dress with a mermaid-style skirt. The unique garment included a drawstring hoodie, fully leaning into the aesthetic of elevated comfort. She added another element to her ensemble with a brown fur vest, which introduced a new color and texture to the outfit. Her accessories included thickly-framed yellow-tinted sunglasses and layered gold pendant necklaces, which further amped up her glamour.

Maintaining her cozy vibe, Rihanna appeared to be wearing boots by Amina Muaddi, a designer she’s repped in the past and collaborated with through her Fenty line. The Italian-crafted Veneda Stretch boot features a ribbed knit fabric upper, with the shaft reaching up to the calf; the stretchy material hugs the leg for a sock-like fit. The shoes also feature a rounded toe and a 95 mm sculpted heel. From the luxury brand, the boot retails for $1,355.

Rihanna stepped out in a similar pair of knit sock boots from Bottega Veneta earlier this year, though those were flat shoes. When she’s dressing up in heels, she loves an Amina Muaddi shoe, among other brands. She debuted Muaddi’s new Anok Mule in September and slipped on a black version of what looked like the same silhouette in October to go with a catsuit designed by none other than A$AP Rocky.

Both A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have won Footwear News Achievement Awards for their work with Puma. A$AP Rocky won the Collaboration of the Year award with Puma at the FNAAs the day before they appeared at the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem. Back in 2016, Rihanna won the Shoe of the Year award for the Fenty Puma Creeper.

Selena Gomez received the Spotlight Award for “Emilia Perez” at IndieWire Honors 2024 at Citizen News in Los Angeles, wearing a pair of the black pointed-toe “Dune” pumps from YSL. 

The “Only Murders in the Building” starlet showcased a sharp silhouette that showcased a black design, an elongated pointed-toe and a flared, stiletto heel ranging between 3-to-4 inches in height. The shoes also featured a square-cut vamp and an adjustable slingback strap with tortoise buckle.

The shoes also featured a square-cut vamp and an adjustable slingback strap with tortoise buckle. The pumps mirrored a pair of satin red Christian Louboutin shoes she wore to the 2024 Golden Globes ceremony that featured a pointed-toe silhouette, complete with scalloped slingback straps. As for her outfit, Gomez wore the Kristian Silk Cady Evening Dress courtesy of Ralph Lauren Collection, which is characterized by its tuxedo design and suiting details. 

She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings and kept her makeup simple, which complimented her bob hairstyle. 

Ahead of the event, IndieWire praised Gomez for her “tireless work as an actress, producer, and entrepreneur,” noting that over the course of her two decades long career, she has “continued to push boundaries and showcase her versatility and innovative approach to both performance and production. Her revelatory performance in Emilia Pérez garnered widespread praise, earning her a place among the year’s most outstanding talents.

The evening was hosted by actor and comedian Simon Rex, with the event marking  an important moment in the industry as IndieWire continues to champion an eclectic array of voices, each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in film and television. This year’s honorees embody the future of the industry, shining a spotlight on the visionaries, risk-takers, and innovators who continue to shape the entertainment landscape.

Yung Miami, aka Caresha Brownlee, chose a pair of sporty Chanel’s Calfskin CC Sneakers while attending the We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club on Thursday night in Miami.

The luxury shoes, which have become a staple amongst celebrities, are defined by their calfskin leather material and rubber outsole. And while many different iterations of Chanel shoes are available in terms of design and colorways, Yung Miami chose a burgundy, white and white pair that had bits of each color scattered amongst the silhouette and white laces. Continuing the themes of her sporty look, she wore a matching burgundy miniskirt and tank top, which itself was brought to life through her elaborated beaded necklace.

Once considered something of an anomaly, Luxury sneakers are now quite popular amongst celebrities and influencers. Last year in Los Angeles, Kim Kardashian was photographed heading to her daughter North West’s basketball game alongside NBA star Tristan Thompson in a pair of black athletic sneakers that featured a classic gum outsole, breathable mesh, and flexible arches with a chunky silhouette and an all-around monochromatic black finish.

And earlier this fall, Balenciaga, whom she is partnered with, released their Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker, which is characterized as having “exaggerated proportions and layering.” The Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker is made completely free of leather instead of using polyurethane, and the result is a mash-up effect in which each of the upper’s pieces look like they’ve been wrenched from different sneakers and cobbled back together.

Despite its unique design, the shoe is expected to be a defining style statement as we head into next year and has already managed to go viral following its March debut.

Gigi Hadid curated her very own collection for Miu Miu‘s Select initiative. The collection was unveiled yesterday at Miu Miu’s Design Miami District.

Branded insoles gave way to short and sassy 2.1-inch stiletto heels, a perfectly comfortable height for a kitten style. Hadid’s footwear pick can be purchased via Farfetch and retails for $1,480.If the deep green hue isn’t your thing, Miu Miu’s Buckle Trio silhouette also comes in red, black, cream, white and even a high-shine metallic silver. The options are endless. The shoe also comes in varying heel heights for those looking for something more dramatic.

On the outfit front, the runway regular opted for a black pinstriped blazer, layered over a white ribbed top. On the bottom, Hadid wore a leather mini-skirt featuring the Italian brand’s logo embossed into the fabric and pastel pink satin trim.

Lily-Rose Depp was spotted heading to Global Radio Studios today in London to promote her new film “Nosferatu.” Directed by Robert Eggers, the 2024 feature was adapted from the 1922 horror/fantasy film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror.”

The fashion darling took to the streets of London in a pair of whimsical plaid kitten heels. The style featured black and white plaid uppers crafted out of a frayed cloth accompanied by sharp pointed toes and what looked to be blue and white leather floral adornments fixed to the tongues, offering the silhouette a colorful touch.

Short diamond-shaped 0.5 to 1-inch stiletto heels finished off the set, creating a subtle walkable lift. The footwear style is dynamic, featuring contrasting colors and unctuous textures galore, immediately drawing the eye.

While Depp’s pick seems to be one of a kind, those looking to channel her London press run look can browse comparable options from brands like Rene Caovilla, Amina Muaddi, Sam Edelman, Charles & Keith, Sergio Rossi and Jimmy Choo, just to name a few. While the styles are not exact, their decorated offerings should give a similar effect.

On the outfit front, the “A Faithful Man” star donned a pastel yellow, almost green sweater vest accompanied by a coordinating knitted mini skirt. Depp wore dainty gold jewelry to round out her look.

When not in elevated styles, you’ll usually find Depp in laidback sneakers for her casual outings. The thespian also can be spotted in the likes of Maison Margiela, Acne Studios, New Balance and, of course, Chanel as some of her other favorite footwear designers.

Beyond her impeccable taste in footwear, Depp has dipped her toes into the modeling world, walking for the likes of Chanel ala Karl Lagerfeld who saw her as a muse. She has a long-standing history with the storied fashion house spanning all they way back to 2015 when she was named as an ambassador at the age of 16.

Tiffany Haddish attended a Nordstrom Flagship Holiday event held yesterday in New York.

Celebrating the season, the “Girls Trip” star sported a pair of Christian Louboutin knee-high boots. The fall-ready booties featured black leather uppers in a slouchy style accompanied by arched soles and knife-like pointed toes.

3 to 4-inch stiletto heels and the brand’s iconic blood-red bottoms finished out the set. The shoe pick was instantly recognizable thanks to the red soles. No matter the composition, boots are a perfect choice for the colder months, given the silhouette encapsulates the wearer’s feet, insulating them and protecting them from the elements. The slouchy uppers created a unique textural finish, making the otherwise dressy shoe appear slightly relaxed.

For those looking to replicate Haddish’s slouchy pick, brands like Michael Kors, Chloe, Schutz, Proenza Schouler, Bottega Veneta and Amina Muaddi all feature comparable styles in a range of sizes and price points. The shoe is very similar to Christian Louboutin’s Armurabotta 100 silhouette.

In a coordinating monochrome move, the “Nobody’s Fool” actress wore a boxy black wool coat via Kate Spade with shiny decorative buttons. Layered underneath, Haddish wore what appeared to be a black turtleneck dress. As for accessories, the comedian toted a black leather mini bag fixed with a silver chain with silver pendants. A plethora of high-shine gold jewelry finished out her look.

Haddish’s clothing aesthetic aligns with her eccentric and eclectic taste. For red-carpet events, she’s all about fashion statements. She frequents in gowns from Christian Siriano, Azeeza Official and Prabal Gurung.

As for footwear, the “Night School” star tends to gravitate towards heeled sandals, sharp pumps and a variety of boots. On more casual occasions, Haddish can be seen sporting a range of sneakers in both high and low-top styles featuring graphic detailing akin to her clothing choices.

Jennifer Lopez accepted the Maverick Award at the 2024 IndieWire Honors wearing Dolce & Gabbana platform heels with a shimmering dress.

Lopez looked festive in a form-fitting gown made of a semi-sheer silvery mesh material that brought a sparkle to the venue in Los Angeles. The dress featured a mock neck, long sleeves and a skirt that fell near her feet. Gold earrings accented her look while her hair was worn out and dark glittering eye shadow made a statement.

The dress was paired with Dolce & Gabbana heels crafted with mirror-effect gold leather. The shoes were lifted by a substantial platform and towering block heel with intricate detailing lining the edges of both, contributing a unique characteristic to the pair. A variation of the Keira style, the upper features a thin strap across the toes and a thinner one wrapping around the ankle, which connected to the fabric enclosing around the ankle. In a branding moment, the ankle strap is adorned with an interlocked DG charm in gold.

Per IndieWire, Lopez was bestowed with the honor “for her groundbreaking career across music, film, and producing.” Lately, she has been promoting her latest venture “Unstoppable,” a drama/sports film in which she stars alongside Jharrel Jerome. For appearances related to the film in recent times, she’s worn a range of shoes including statement-making boots and stylish pumps.

In her acceptance speech, Lopez said she looked up the definition of “maverick” in preparation for the night: “It means an individualist, a nonconformist, a free spirit, an original, a trendsetter, an eccentric, an outsider, a rebel, a dissident, a disrupter. I could go on, but I’m not going to. But seriously, what a beautiful thing to recognized for. For charting your own course. I’m appreciative of being seen in that way and recognized for who I am and, kind of, who I’ve had to be. I think every artist and every one in this room has had to figure out to how to do it their own way, blaze their own trail.”

She offered a special thank you to Judy and Anthony Robles, the real-life inspiration behind “Unstoppable,” which follows a young man with one leg becoming a champion wrestler.

Sabrina Carpenter brought the heat to the streets of New York City last night in a sleek black and white ensemble complete with furry mules. The singer arrived at the Paris Theater in Manhattan to celebrate the release of her Netflix Christmas special “A Nonsense Christmas,” which arrives on the streaming platform on Dec. 6.

The “Bed Chem” singer stepped out in style, donning a pair of striking KandeeShoes mules. These weren’t just any mules; they were crafted from luxurious black velvet, contrasted by a band of faux mink fur across the toe box.

The attention to detail: a leather outer-sole ensured durability, while the exaggerated pointed toe and pencil-thin 5-inch heel added a touch of drama. The slip-on mule style exuded a sense of effortless elegance. Each pair was meticulously handcrafted, a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. 

Mules are a type of shoe defined by their open-back design, lacking any heel strap or constraint. Typically, people envision mules as closed-toe shoes, but they also come in open-toe versions featuring a thick strap across the foot’s top.

Originally, mules were introduced as bedroom slippers in the 17th century. They gained popularity in the French court, becoming a fashion staple among wealthy women. In the 1950s, mules resurged, with iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe favoring the style, particularly the newer open-toe design.

More recently, mules experienced a revival in the 2010s, permeating various fashion scenes. The style offers versatility in heel heights; closed-toe mules often have flat soles, while open-toe variations frequently feature high heels.

On top, she wore a black and white furry jacket and a matching skirt. Her blonde tresses were styled away from her face leaving space for her vibrant red lipstick. 

Sabrina Carpenter is a fashion icon on the rise, frequently appearing on best-dressed lists and attending high-profile fashion shows for brands such as Giambattista Valli, Michael Kors, Coach, and Elie Saab. Her shoe collection is both stylish and playful, featuring a range of platform pumps, sandals, and boots with sky-high heels from designers like Valentino, Stuart Weitzman, and Naked Wolfe. When she’s off-duty, Carpenter opts for a more casual look with sneakers from brands like Converse, Nike, and Alexander McQueen. The “Short n Sweet” singer’s unique blend of high-fashion and streetwear has solidified her status as a trendsetter in the industry.

Rihanna is reflecting on what it means to return to the Footwear News Achievement Awards — but this time around, in support of her partner A$AP Rocky, who received the Collaboration of the Year award alongside Puma at the Dec. 4 awards show in New York City.

The fashion mogul attended the 2016 iteration of the event, often dubbed the “Shoe Oscars,” when she was fêted with the Shoe of the Year award for the Fenty Puma Creeper. Now that it’s A$AP’s turn to be honored, Rihanna was right by his side throughout the night — laughing with him, applauding him, and even joining him and the Puma team on stage.

On the red carpet at the FNAAs on Wednesday, Rihanna told Footwear News, “I always support Rocky. It’s not new for me to be here today, but I’m just so excited for him to have this achievement and have everyone revere him in the light that he deserves.”

Rihanna continued to laud A$AP, with whom she shares two young sons, saying, “He is such a creative and he creates all day, every day, in all different ways. He loves this. This is the thing that makes him so happy. The only thing that makes him happier than this is being a father. And to see him be honored for things that he truly loves — I’m excited to be here.”

A$AP Rocky certainly got creative when it came time to design with Puma, referring to his ideas as “audacious” in his acceptance speech. The rapper joined Puma in 2023 as creative director of the brand’s F1 line. In 2024, the partnership brought about multiple boundary-pushing shoe releases, including a 3D-printed version of the Mostro silhouette.

Rihanna appeared shocked when she was reminded her own FNAA win was nearly a decade ago. “Almost a decade — girl! You just aged me.”

Considering the achievement, the superstar recognized the significance of the moment and looked ahead to how her and A$AP’s children might view it in the future: “To be here by his side and see him win this it is a full circle moment. We’re excited, and I know our kids going to be proud one day when they think we’re not cool.”

Eva Longoria was among the brightest stars to celebrate the 2024 Red Sea International Film Festival which officially commenced on Thursday, Dec.5 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.  

The actress and director graced the red carpet in a metallic off-the-shoulder gown. The dress, a masterpiece of design, featured a romantic sweetheart neckline that accentuated her décolletage.

Geometric earrings, their sharp lines contrasting beautifully with the gown’s soft curves, framed her face. A collection of layered bracelets adorned her wrists, adding a touch of bohemian chic to the ensemble.
