Martha Stewart Is Off to the Races in Suede Flats at the Kentucky Derby 2024
Martha Stewart attended the 150th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday in Louisville, Ky. wearing a pair of suede flats in a bright ivory colorway.
A fan of comfortable yet elevated footwear silhouettes, Stewart recently partnered with Skechers on a new collection in honor of International Women’s Day. The collaborative line reimagined five of the brand’s iconized summer styles for spring 2024, finished with crochet knit or canvas uppers in saturated earth-toned colorways.
The annual Kentucky Derby is a Grade one stakes horse race run at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Stweart was just one celebrity photographed attending this year’s event, with other arrivals including Sheryl Lee Ralph, Alix Earle, Becky Lynch and Ellie Thumann, among others.
About the Shoes
The entrepreneur’s footwear featured a pointed-toe silhouette and flat footbed. Additionally, the shoe was crafted from a soft suede textile colored in a neutral shade of ivory.
A number of celebrities have been seen sporting similar footwear styles designed with the same buttery-soft material in classic colorways. On Wednesday, Selena Gomez was photographed in a pair of Manolo Blahnik BB 105mm suede pumps as she left the 3rd annual Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit in New York City. The brand’s heels, available in 8 different colors, feature a pointed-toe silhouette, leather sole and 4.25-inch stiletto heel.
Suede Pumps: A Designer Staple
From Gianvito Rossi to Stuart Weitzman, several designer brands and luxury footwear manufacturers have integrated the suede pump into their selection of heeled footwear, aiming to provide the wearer with a classic silhouette in a versatile textile. With bold colorways and differing heel heights, each designer offers a unique variation of the style for consumers to choose from.
