Towering heels are what the “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” singer has become known for through the duration of her career. In March, the star donned a pair of Amina Muaddi Yigit platform stiletto boots during a visit to NYC. The boots were made with leather and featured a 6-inch stiletto heel and angled platform base alongside a sculpted design crafted with a pointed-toe silhouette and skin-tight fit. This past August, she attended the 2023 VMAs wearing a pair of gold-heeled sandals in a sky-high platform style from Piferi. The shoes were crafted with glossy metallic uppers accompanied by thick and secure straps.
