Voigt, who resigned from her Miss USA duties earlier this week, selected metallic gold platform sandals featuring an open toe. These shoes are designed with a square, chunky heel approximately 4 inches in height, alongside a platform about 2 inches high at the front. The design includes a thick banded cross strap over the foot near the front and a slender strap encircling the ankle.

The 24-year-old has shown a preference for platform styles in the past. In February, she was seen at an event at Gulfstream Park in Florida wearing black strappy shoes. She wore the same golden shoes for a photo shoot in El Salvador in November of the previous year, and a similar black pair at a Miss Universe event there as well. When she won the Miss USA crown, she chose strappy sandals with a platform and block heels at least 5 inches tall to complete her outfit.

About the Shoes

Platform sandal shoes are a staple in several celebrity closets. Briana Cuoco wore leather platform sandals at the 2024 Heart Gala the same night Voigt stepped out in her metallic sandals. Back in April, Salma Hayek opted for her own pair of towering black platform sandals while attending the Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio” photo call during the 60th Venice Biennale Pre-opening Dinner in Italy. In March, Jennifer Lopez was photographed alongside her husband, Ben Affleck, wearing sky-high neutral platform sandals in New York City.

About the Trend

Strappy sandals, characterized by elongated straps that encircle the ankle and extend up the leg, are frequently chosen to complement shorter dresses and various styles that accentuate the legs. These sandals are a quintessential footwear option during warmer seasons, offering versatility with heel heights.
