Each pair of sandals reflects Perry’s bold and playful approach to shoes. The initial pair showcased a thick transparent crisscross strap across the front, drawing attention to the rhinestone ankle strap that shimmered as Perry sat poised. The shoes boasted a metallic base and a stiletto heel towering approximately 5 inches high.

Similarly, Perry’s second pair of sandals shined with a vibrant yellow hue, perfectly complementing the show’s set. Sporting an estimated 3-inch heel and two thin front straps, they served as a stylistic and functional addition.

The final pair Perry wore was the most understated of the three, featuring a minimalist white design. However, the straps added a boost of excitement, and the asymmetrical straps added a touch of edge.

This footwear switch-up comes after Perry showcased her penchant for fearless boot choices, donning over-the-knee white mesh stiletto boots by Bottega Veneta while on the set of the show last weekend. 

On Monday, she also showed off another pair of slouchy black boots at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024 to hit the red carpet.

About Sandal Heels:

Sandal heels seamlessly blend the breezy style of sandals with the added lift of heels, offering a versatile option suitable for various occasions. These shoes typically feature secure foot straps and elevated heels, coming in a variety of styles ranging from minimalist to more intricate designs adorned with embellishments like rhinestones or metallic accents. Sandal heels bring a touch of elevated style and femininity to any outfit. With their open-toe design, they also provide breathability and comfort, making them a popular choice, particularly during warmer seasons.
