Amal Clooney and Jennifer Lopez approve.
It’s no secret: Sarah Jessica Parker is the queen of shoes. Not only does her on-screen character Carrie Bradshaw have an affinity for Manolo Blahnik pumps, but Parker even began her own footwear line, SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker, back in 2014. And just like that… she showed up in head-turning heels, yet again.
Late last week, Parker stepped onto the set of And Just Like That… wearing a blue, rhinestone-covered dress. The shimmery gown included shoulder pads, long sleeves, a knee-grazing hem, and square neckline that showed off her sexy lace bra. But it was her glitzy metallic heels that pulled the look together.

This isn’t the first time Parker wore shiny pumps, making a case for a hot pink pair last summer and a mismatched duo last February. Martha Stewart is another celebrity who’s all about the disco ball shoes, with Amal Clooney, Kate Middleton, Helen Mirren, and Jennifer Lopez just as head over heels for it—and it all started with Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes.
Flash forward months later, and the bold shoe trend is still going strong. InStyle editors have even given it their stamp of approval, with yours truly wearing the look for a quick outfit-elevating hack. Basically, if you feel like you’re in a fashion rut, simply put on a solid-colored ensemble (think: jeans and a T-shirt, trousers and a tube top, or maxi dress) and slip on a pair of metallic heels. Everyone’s eyes will gravitate towards your shoes, garnering you tons of compliments; trust me, I know from experience.
I’d even go as far to call silver metallic the new neutral. Because of its reflective nature, it takes on its surroundings, effortlessly coordinating with all outfits. Despite its brilliance, it’s not very loud, either; hot pink, lime green, and neon yellow are far more flashy than versatile silver.
There are tons of ways to integrate Parker-inspired heels into your wardrobe, too. Go the classic route with this Michael Michael Kors stiletto, or consider a trendy slingback kitten heel from Dolce Vita. Steve Madden also offers a V-shaped mule for practical dressing, and Vince Camuto brings a chunky block heel to the playing field.
