Jeannie Mai Jenkins showed up for her hosting duties during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve celebration a vision in pink. The television personality was ready for the party wearing a fringe pink dress with a lot of movement. She wore her hair straight back with a luminescent makeup look
For shoes, working with stylist Wilford Lenov, Jenkins chose one of 2024’s trendiest silhouettes: a mule. Specifically, she wore Bettina Vermillon’s Anita mule. The shoe is an open-toe style and includes a platform. With the block heel on the back, it adds over four inches of height. The shoe is also made in italy.
Mules and slingbacks received a lot of celebrity attention in 2024. Jenkins’ choice is an open toe mule with a lot of coverage across the rest of the foot. It is similar in design to Stella McCartney’s Elsa mule. Tiffany Haddish wore that open-toe shoe to the designer’s show in September. The main difference in the two shoes is that the Elsa has a sculpted heel. Gianvito Rossi’s Elle mule was also one of note this year. That shoe is a sheer open toe style. It was worn by Georgina Rodriguez to the Venice Film Festival, Ashley Graham to a Harper’s Bazaar cocktail party and Bad Gyal to the GQ Men of the Year Awards in Madrid.
Katy Perry picked up on the style of the Elle, opting for an almost invisible mule when she was in Australia for the Australian Football League Grand Final. She wore the Paris Texas Lidia, which features a singular thin strap across the toe. Her pair featured a completely clear PVC strap. In many ways, the Lidia is similar to Maison Ernest’s Lidylle’s mule. That shoe has been sported by both Olivia Munn and Jennifer Lawrence in gold and black, respectively.
