Madelyn Cline joined a lineup of young talent at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon, arriving at the annual event in sleek black mules from Paris Texas alongside a cheetah print Posse minidress.
The “Outer Banks” star opted for Paris Texas’ patent leather Lidia silhouette, defined by a single glossy curved strap across the toes, an almond-shaped toe and a backless design. The $645 slip-on mules sat on an ultra-thin 70mm stiletto, offering a practical lift. Paris Texas’ mules are also available in gold, nude, cream and chocolate brown.

Cline is far from the only celebrity to embrace the barely-there silhouette. The style began gaining traction in Hollywood last year, with Hailey Bieber among the first to be seen in the design, wearing the gold mirror leather pair to a 2025 Met Gala after party. Emily Ratajkowski later donned the black patent leather look to “Late Night With Seth Meyers” over the summer, while Olivia Munn was seen in the same glossy style for an appearance on “Good Morning America” last month. With Cline’s latest endorsement, the silhouette shows no signs of slowing down.
Founded in 2015 by sisters Anna and Margherita Brivio, Paris Texas has been behind many celebrity-favorite shoes, including its Lidia slingbacks, which are loved by the likes of Miley Cyrus, Lily James and Scarlett Johansson.

For the summit on Tuesday, Cline wore the black patent leather mules with Posse’s Leo dress. Rendered in a cheetah pattern, the airy midi-length design boasted a boat neckline and a low cowl back. She accented the look with chunky bangles on each wrist and wore her signature blond hair in a shoulder-grazing bob. On stage, Cline was joined by “The White Lotus” actress Haley Lu Richardson, who opted for a tie-adorned denim top, Bermuda shorts and black leather heeled boots.
