Maybe it’s the resurgence of early aughts fashion. It’s possible Harry Styles’ Gucci looks are making everyone feel inspired. Quite likely, many of us have been influenced by the disco music revival apparent in music over the last few years from artists like Beyoncé, Jessie Ware and Dua Lipa. Whatever the reason, sparkles are on the mind.
More specifically, Betsey Johnson’s rhinestone shoes.
In fact, online searches in the U.S. are up for phrases like “Betsey Johnson shoes” and “Betsey Johnson rhinestone boots.” What’s more, celebrities are also making known their fanship of the distinctly whimsical brand by wearing the glimmering boots on stage.
Betsey Johnson has a number of sparkly shoes available, but the big favorite right now is the Cady boot. Though most of us are not gearing up to headline festival stages, the glamorous bootie features a pointed toe and sturdy block heel that make for the perfect pair of shoes on a night out whether you’re dancing the night away under a mirror ball or running across town from party to party. For more inspiration, see below the celebrities that have given this shoe their seal of approval.
Halle Bailey
The future star of next year’s live action The Little Mermaid completed her black sequined ensemble with the Rhinestone Cady boot while performing at Essence Festival during the summer.
Chloe Bailey
The Grown-ish star and Beyoncé protégé dominated her performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas in September. She sealed her bejeweled gradient blue look with a pair of the rich blue Cady boots.
Rita Ora
Carrie Underwood
The country star performed at Stagecoach Music Festival back in April while wearing the fuschia Cady boots, adding a complementary pop of color to her sparkling outfit.
As proven by the Bailey sisters, Ora and Underwood, these boots were made for more than just walking. If you need a reliable shoe with a bit of flashiness, Betsey Johnson’s Cady booties are the way to go.
