This American Horror Story Star Wore Margiela’s Iconic Heels on the Globes Red Carpet

Christian Allaire

January 6, 2019 at 7:14 PM

Tonight, the Golden Globes red carpet kicked off what is sure to be a night of glitz, accolades, and viral memes. But let’s cut right to the fashion. In a sea of classic men’s suits, some actors refreshingly strayed from the norm on the red carpet, American Horror Story star Cody Fern being one of them. Instead, he decided to give his daring look a fashion spin by wearing Maison Margiela’s iconic Tabi heel boots.

Fern went with an all-black motif for his look tonight, wearing high-waisted trousers and tucking in a button-up shirt that had sheer paneling at the top. (A hint of skin on men? Surprisingly fresh.) On his feet, his chunky-heeled Tabi boots, with their signature split-toe detail, gave the whole ensemble serious edge. Like Ezra Miller and Timothée Chalamet, is this up-and-comer a man to keep an eye on in 2019? He took a risk here, and it definitely paid off.
