Carrie Underwood attended the 2024 Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala held in New York on Thursday.
The event is held to honor some of the biggest stars in the music industry. Notable attendees included Underwood, Keith Urband, SZA, Priscilla Presley and Kevin Bacon. Underwood celebrated fellow artist Hillary Lindsey who wrote hits like “Jesus Take the Wheel,” which is featured on Underwood’s album “Some Hearts.”
Underwood went bold, sporting a pair of metallic silver platform sandals. The American Idol alumni’s footwear featured a thin strappy construction, accompanied by high-shine metallic uppers, open toes and slightly elevated platform soles. 4 to 5-inch stiletto heels rounded out the set, offering Underwood a substantial boost.
Platform sandals are a beloved footwear silhouette. The style is hallowed for its height-boosting abilities, offering the wearer an elongated appearance. Stars like Sofia Vergara, Jessica Simpson, Florence Pugh and Dua Lipa have made platform sandal heels a staple in their wardrobes. The saught-after shoe can be purchased from both affordable and high-end brands like Staud, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, Versace and Prada, among others.

Accompanying her lofty metallic footwear, the “Before He Cheats” singer wore a striking gown featuring a high-low skirt made of a sparkling teal fabric that was gathered. Underwood’s look also featured a sculpted metallic silver bodice that mimicked the look of molten metal. The bodice mirrored the silver detailing of her shoes. For the finishing touches, the performer donned a variety of high-shine jewelry.
For footwear, Underwood stays glamorous and bold with shoes that feature studs, metallic tones and crystals. The “Before He Cheats” singer’s red carpet looks usually include platform sandals and pumps by Jimmy Choo, Agnes Bethel, Giuseppe Zanotti and more top brands. However, when off-duty, the star wears comfy sneakers and ankle boots by Christian Louboutin, DKNY and R13.
