Many other pieces in the collection similarly feature the ruching detail as well as the pointed toe and the metallic embellishment on the toe bed.

Silver and Metallic Shoes Are All the Rage

Silver and metallic shoe styles are still major trends. At the 2024 ACM Awards, multiple stars wore silver shoes: Karen Fairchild in her pointy-toe boots and Anne Wilson in her more classic cowboy boots. But they are just the latest in. along line of major figures adopting the trend. Whether it’s by way of pointed-toe stilettos (Rita Ora, Jennifer Hudson, Rachel McAdams and Meryl Streep) or platform sandals (Elizabeth Hurley) it’s an in-demand style for 2024. And it makes sense: in 2023, mega-pop stars like Beyonce and Taylor Swift incorporated metallics into the wardrobes of their worldwide tours.
