Selena Gomez received the Spotlight Award for “Emilia Perez” at IndieWire Honors 2024 at Citizen News in Los Angeles, wearing a pair of the black pointed-toe “Dune” pumps from YSL. 

The “Only Murders in the Building” starlet showcased a sharp silhouette that showcased a black design, an elongated pointed-toe and a flared, stiletto heel ranging between 3-to-4 inches in height. The shoes also featured a square-cut vamp and an adjustable slingback strap with tortoise buckle.

The shoes also featured a square-cut vamp and an adjustable slingback strap with tortoise buckle. The pumps mirrored a pair of satin red Christian Louboutin shoes she wore to the 2024 Golden Globes ceremony that featured a pointed-toe silhouette, complete with scalloped slingback straps. As for her outfit, Gomez wore the Kristian Silk Cady Evening Dress courtesy of Ralph Lauren Collection, which is characterized by its tuxedo design and suiting details. 

She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings and kept her makeup simple, which complimented her bob hairstyle. 

Ahead of the event, IndieWire praised Gomez for her “tireless work as an actress, producer, and entrepreneur,” noting that over the course of her two decades long career, she has “continued to push boundaries and showcase her versatility and innovative approach to both performance and production. Her revelatory performance in Emilia Pérez garnered widespread praise, earning her a place among the year’s most outstanding talents.

The evening was hosted by actor and comedian Simon Rex, with the event marking  an important moment in the industry as IndieWire continues to champion an eclectic array of voices, each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in film and television. This year’s honorees embody the future of the industry, shining a spotlight on the visionaries, risk-takers, and innovators who continue to shape the entertainment landscape.

Yung Miami, aka Caresha Brownlee, chose a pair of sporty Chanel’s Calfskin CC Sneakers while attending the We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club on Thursday night in Miami.

The luxury shoes, which have become a staple amongst celebrities, are defined by their calfskin leather material and rubber outsole. And while many different iterations of Chanel shoes are available in terms of design and colorways, Yung Miami chose a burgundy, white and white pair that had bits of each color scattered amongst the silhouette and white laces. Continuing the themes of her sporty look, she wore a matching burgundy miniskirt and tank top, which itself was brought to life through her elaborated beaded necklace.

Once considered something of an anomaly, Luxury sneakers are now quite popular amongst celebrities and influencers. Last year in Los Angeles, Kim Kardashian was photographed heading to her daughter North West’s basketball game alongside NBA star Tristan Thompson in a pair of black athletic sneakers that featured a classic gum outsole, breathable mesh, and flexible arches with a chunky silhouette and an all-around monochromatic black finish.

And earlier this fall, Balenciaga, whom she is partnered with, released their Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker, which is characterized as having “exaggerated proportions and layering.” The Balenciaga Reptile Sneaker is made completely free of leather instead of using polyurethane, and the result is a mash-up effect in which each of the upper’s pieces look like they’ve been wrenched from different sneakers and cobbled back together.

Despite its unique design, the shoe is expected to be a defining style statement as we head into next year and has already managed to go viral following its March debut.

The 2024 awards ceremony, held in New York City on December 4th, brought together a diverse mix of celebrities and industry leaders.

This year’s red carpet event attracted a constellation of prominent figures including Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Nicky Hilton, Gabby Thomas, and more beside industry stalwarts like Kenneth Cole and Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden, who are set to receive major accolades. The gala not only spotlights seasoned entrepreneurs and designers but also acknowledges emerging talents and influential collaborations, including A$AP Rocky’s partnership with Puma, which earned the Collaboration of the Year.

Here, we go through some of the standout shoes of the night from a pair of Sneex sneaker heels to some unreleased Adidas heat.

Joseph “Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels of the iconic rap group Run D.M.C were spotted at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards wearing Adidas from head to toe. 

Simmons aka Rev Run, opted for his traditional Adidas tracksuit, and while he has worn many different colors over the years, this go-round he wore the standard black shade. On his feet were a pair of white low-top Adidas sneakers, which have become his go-to over the decades, and, of course, his signature black hat. 

While McDaniels aka D.M.C. didn’t wear an Adidas tracksuit, instead choosing a black vest and pants combo overtop a long-sleeve shirt that were from the brand as well, he also wore a pair of white low-top Adidas sneakers that matched his rap partner. The shoes are among some of the most popular from the company. Featuring the classic 3-stripes logo, and Cloudfoam Comfort cushioning, their versatile styling is what makes them such a popular choice. 

For those who may not know, Run D.M.C. is the very first music group to ever have a partnership with a major athletic brand. The beginning of the group’s relationship with the company dates back to the release of their 1986 single “My Adidas” as the artists were huge fans of the brand, and wearing Superstars without laces before that was even a major sneaker trend. The massive success of the song resulted in more sales for the company, which eventually led to them establishing an official deal. 

The FN Achievement Awards are an annual ceremony that honors some of the biggest and most impactful names and brands in the footwear space. Honorees include Angel Reese, A$AP Rocky and Puma for Collaboration of the Year, Adidas CEO Bjórn Gulden for Person of the Year and others.

It was a family affair for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his family as they attended the world premiere of “Moana 2” in Kapolei, Hawaii on Thursday afternoon.

Posing alongside wife Lauren Hashian and daughters Simone, 23, Garcia, Jasmine, 8, and Tiana Johnson, 6, the entire family was seen wearing floral leis around their necks. While his outfit couldn’t be seen entirely, the “Fast & Furious” actor appeared to be wearing a cream two-piece suit, which he paired with Christian Louboutin’s Dandelion calf leather loafers in the color Havane, a deep chocolate brown.

His wife, Lauren, could be seen in a slim-fitting black dress, which she accessorized with a silver necklace. While the back of her shoes couldn’t be seen completely, it’s likely she was wearing a pair of strappy sandals with a stiletto heel measuring between 4-to-5 inches in height, as that is what she typically prefers in-terms of shoe height.

Simone’s shoes couldn’t be fully seen either, however, Johnson’s youngest children, Jasmine and Tiana matched in pink and orange dresses.

On their feet were similar pairs of matching strappy sandals. Jasmine’s shoes were doused in an all-white color and featured a glittery embellishment dispersed throughout. A thick strap was present in the upper region while an ankle strap looped around her foot for protection. Tiana’s shoes were also made with a glittery embellishment, boasting two slender straps in the upper. She, too, also had a singular ankle strap present to secure her foot in place. 

“Moana 2” is set for a release date of November 27, and centers around Moana as she  journeys to the far seas of Oceania after receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors. Hashian made the surprise announcement via Instagram that the couple’s two youngest daughters were given the opportunity to voice characters in the film, making it an exciting moment for the family.

Shaboozey was committed to a fun night at the 2024 Country Music Awards. The performer whose hit “A Bar Song” has been taking over airwaves all year, hit the red carpet at the event wearing a bright green custom suit.

The musician was nominated for six awards at the event and wore his name on his back in case anyone forgot it. His suit included crystal embroidery throughout as well as imagery of roses in a bed of thorns.

For shoes, the crystal embellishments kept on. Instead of wearing a pair of traditional cowboy boots as might be expected (and as he typically wears,) Shaboozey chose a pair of custom Crocs Classic Cowboy Boot. The comfortable shoe was done in black. True to the classic Croc, it has holes throughout. But to make it red carpet appropriate, the shoe has been customized by Freak City LA: it is covered in black crystals, some of which sparkle in the light. Shaboozey has been a longtime fan of the brand and has been spotted wearing them with his casual, everyday outfits.

Crocs are seen largely for their comfort but have been elevated to a fashion item in recent years through a series of collaborations with brands like Balenciaga. More recently, the brand collaborated with popular shoe designer Salehe Bembury.

Shaboozey was styled by Anastasia Walker, who he has been working with recently. A fan of eyecatching styles, for shoes he’s often wearing boots. Recently for the GQ Men of the Year event he wore a pair of custom metal-tipped boots from the company Rocket Buster boots. That label is based in El Paso, Texas.

For the Video Music Awards this year, he wore a pair of Tabi style Maison Margiela boots. The Beyonce collaborator is also a face of YSL Beauty.

The 2024 CMA Awards is broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The night, which celebrates the best, brightest and most talented in country music is hosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning, and Lainey Wilson. The night’s nominations are led by Morgan Wallen with seven CMA Award nominations. Presenters include Katharine McPhee, Simone Biles, Jeff Bridges and more.
