Williams is an avid fan of an open-toe shoe. Just last month, she wore a black pair of Le Silla ‘strappy ‘Bella’ sandals at the premiere of “Challengers” in Los Angeles. She even sported a similar silver pair of a low-heel, metallic silver sandal at the WYN Beauty launch party on April 3 in New York City. Then in September of 2023, she wore a pair of brown slip on sandals with two large gold buckles for Paris Fashion Week.

Williams posed elegantly in a black jeweled dress with her feet pointed outward and her shoes on full display in a hallway when her look was complete after her night at the Met Gala. She was seen switching into a flat pair of shoes later in the evening as she left the afterparties.
