On her feet, she stepped into a pair of thigh-high metallic platform boots with chunky straps ascending the shaft and perched upon a sleek stiletto heel, creating a striking and towering footwear choice. Thigh-high platform boots are a style of footwear that extends above the knee and feature elevated platforms in the sole. This style originated in the late 1960s and 1970s during the height of the psychedelic and glam rock era.

Thigh-high platform boots typically have a fitted design that hugs the leg, and the platforms can vary in height and thickness. They are often made from materials like leather, suede, or synthetic fabrics and can feature various embellishments such as buckles, studs or laces.
