Megan Thee Stallion made her bombshell entrance on “Love Island USA” on episode 23 of Season Eight on Sunday wearing Steve Madden’s bestselling Larina pink satin heel. Similar to Christian Louboutin’s trendy Cassia line, the Larina features a square toe reminiscent of ballet pointe shoes and lace-up straps around the ankle. The rapper’s shoes, which retail for $199.95, were coordinated with her pink beehive updo, all accenting her lavender bodysuit with beading and bow details.

SZA attended the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, with one of her event looks accented by Steve Madden’s Morals wheat nubuck bootie. Like a stiletto version of a Timberland, the lace-up style features a sharply pointed toe and skinny 4-inch heel. The musician and Vans artistic director paired the $189.95 shoes with a puffed pair of pants blending various colors and fabrics; the pants were adorned with round pins of various sizes, and she also wore a patterned top with dangling beads.

In another high-profile Steve Madden moment, up-and-coming actress Lexi Minetree, star of the “Legally Blonde” prequel series “Elle,” wore the Davina mule heel style in an on-theme hot pink metallic colorway at a London photo call on Wednesday. The Davina is a simplistic slip-on silhouette with a round toe and singular hourglass-shaped strap across the toes, with a 4.25-inch stiletto heel boosting it. The shoe style, priced at $129.95, accompanied Minetree’s pink and bow-adorned spring 2001 Marc Jacobs dress, the exact dress worn by Reese Witherspoon to the original “Legally Blonde” premiere.
Suffice to say, Steve Madden is having no trouble fitting into the celebrity circuit these days.
