Tina Knowles stood a little taller while out and about in New York City. Mother of music stars Beyonce and Solange, Knowles was spotted on Monday wearing a pair of black platform heels.
Knowles wore the shoes on the “Today” show with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager to talk about the launch of Cecred and her family’s history.
Knowles is certainly no stranger to platform heels. A cofounder of Beyonce’s now-defunct House of Dereon as well as the recently launched Cecred, Knowles has been spotted in the style multiple times. For the premiere of the “Renaissance” movie, she wore a pair of bejeweled platforms. Prior to that, she wore a peep-toe pair to the 2022 iteration of the Wearable Art Gala she founded.
After a career spanning from styling to music management, Tina Knowles is joining forces with her daughter Beyoncé to launch Cécred, a hair product line rooted in family history and passion.

About the shoe
Knowles opted for a sturdy Giuseppe Zanotti platform heel. The shoe, dubbed the Betty, featured a peep-toe hole big enough that only a few toes were visible. It was also made of slick, black patent leather.
$995
The heel of the shoe is a block heel. With the chunky platform, the shoe adds 5 inches in height. The heel breast of the style is black, like the shoe’s upper, while the sole is tan. Though the top of the shoe is not visible when Lawson walks, it features a strap that wraps around the back of the foot before fastening at the ankle.
The Made in Italy shoes are currently available for $995.
About the Brand
Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are a red carpet staple. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce are often spotted in the styles. The Italian luxury shoe brand spans a variety of styles including sneakers, boots, sandals, pumps, and more. Earlier this month the company announced a limited-edition collaboration with the Queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J Blige. The partnership was an over-the-knee rose gold boot. The shoe sold out within 24 hours.
