The “Motivation” singer is often spotted in similar footwear styles and sky-high silhouettes as she steps out for public appearances and photo-ops. Most recently, Rowland was seen in a pair of all-black open-toe mules while attending the Vinivia App launch in Los Angeles in April of this year. The star’s shoes featured an exaggerated vamp cutout, a slip-on silhouette and an estimated 2-inch stiletto heel.

Baby2Baby provides children living in impoverished areas with diapers, clothing and additional necessities that are otherwise difficult to get access to. On Wednesday, the Baby2Baby team, alongside Rowland, Wilde and Ciara, spent the day packing essential kits with diapers, hygiene products, breastfeeding supplies, postpartum care and educational resources to be distributed to moms and their babies immediately after giving birth in ten states with high rates of maternal mortality.

Rowland’s bright red pump, crafted from a soft brushed suede, featured a pointed-toe silhouette, high-set vamp and elongated back counter. Additionally, the shoes were adorned with an estimated 4-inch stiletto heel in the same poppy red hue.

A number of celebrities have been spotted attending red carpet events, exclusive interviews and luxury fashion presentations in similar pairs of heels designed in a bold red colorway. In April of this year, Jenna Lyons spoke on stage during the XYZ Presents: Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis: Jenna Lyons event at 92NY in New York City while sporting a pair of fiery red satin pumps from Prada. The star’s shoes featured an elongated pointed-toe silhouette, tapered back and an estimated 2.5-inch stiletto heel.

Red Pumps: A Designer Staple

It is not uncommon to come across a pair of classic red pumps from even the most recent designer collections, as the staple footwear silhouette and vibrant colorway seem to never diminish in popularity among consumers. From Sam Edelman to Manolo Blahnik, brands have managed to stand out amongst the crowd by customizing their version of the iconized red pump with sparkling adornments, luxurious textiles and elevated silhouettes.
