Ashley Graham stepped out to host the 2023 Future Of Fashion Celebration And Honors in New York City in a pair of shoes that are so right now.

The supermodel and mother of three wore a black, long-sleeved midi dress without cutouts. It was classic glamour with a 2023 twist. The shoes followed suit and, if we're being honest, stole the show.

The four-inch black heels had colorful rhinestones and lace-up straps that went up the leg.

While there's no one-size-fits-all for summer footwear, strappy sandals are a quintessential warm-weather look. But heels give a height boost and air of polish, ready for summer weddings, date nights and charity galas. Fun details, like lace-up straps (or even an angle strap) and sparkles, turn heads in the best way possible.

These six black strappy sandals exude Graham's red-carpet style.
