About the Shoes

The heels Finnegan Biden wore to the White House last night are tan sandals with slim straps across the ankle and vamp. The shoe has a tall, stiletto heel, and blends in, showing off her bright red dress. The style is incredibly popular in women’s fashion as a basic silhouette and is sold by brands such as Dolce Vita, Stuart Weitzman and Steve Madden.

Strappy Sandals

Sandals with a heel are a staple silhouette in celebrity fashion and politics — first lady Jill Biden is often seen in the style among other classic heels. This week at the CMT Awards, Trisha Yearwood donned a pair of black strappy sandals similar to those Biden wore to receive the June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award. Regina Hall also went for sandals this spring, wearing a red strappy Stuart Weitzman heel to the Mark Twain Prize ceremony in Washington D.C.
