Spanx founder Sara Blakely launched her genre-defying footwear brand Sneex less than a year ago in 2024 — and the sneaker-heel fusion style already has several celebrity fans. The shoe, which has the upper of a sneaker and the stiletto of a pump, has been worn by the likes of Kathy Bates, Tea Leoni and, of course, Gayle King.
It would be difficult to find a celebrity who is more dedicated to Sneex than King, who has stepped out in several colorways of the shoe for various occasions, even wearing them when her best friend Oprah surprised with a 70th birthday party. She interviewed Blakely on CBS Mornings and shared her adoration of the invention. From King sitting court side at a WNBA game to Leoni donning them for a movie premiere to Bates showcasing them at the 2025 Golden Globes, see some of the best celeb Sneex moments to date below.
