More from Footwear News


Sheryl Lee Ralph attended “The Fabulous Four” premiere yesterday in New York. Beyond Ralph, other notable attendees included Susan Sarandon and Marlo Thomas, among others.

The “Abbott Elementary” actress donned a neutral pair of black peep-toe platform heels. The simplistic sky-high style featured breezy open peep-toes, black leather uppers and lofty platform soles. Additionally, the star’s footwear appeared to have block heels, although her heels were not visible throughout the night. Ralph is a big fan of platform styles, often wearing them alongside maxi-length items to give the illusion of length and height.

The platform trend has become increasingly popular among many stars, Ralph included. The height-boosting footwear is wildly versatile, depending on the colorway, and also easily accessible, given that many high and low-end brands have stocked platforms in the past. Popular platform styles often found on said celebrities hail from brands like Versace, Aldo, Valentino and Sam Edelman, among others.

Matching her footwear, the Emmy Award-winning actress sported a black maxi-length dress in a flowy style. The garment included interesting frayed edges and a plunging neckline. Ralph’s dress was belted, further defining her silhouette. Said belt was white leather and included a unique geometric metallic gold buckle. The “In The Evening” singer also donned a variety of high-shine accessories including a watch and a dainty necklace.

For the past year, the singer has been styled by her daughter Ivy Coco. In an exclusive interview with FN in April 2023, she revealed that the stylist put together the fiery red jumpsuit and peep-toe heels she wore for her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl.

She also shared that fashion has had a presence in the family for generations. “She came to it naturally spending time with my mother Miss Ivy who was one of Jamaica’s most celebrated designers,” said Ralph.
