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.
