The Hungarian-born star was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead, TMZ reported. She was survived by her ninth husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt.

In 1952 she hit the big screen in four films — her only lead part was “Moulin Rouge.” Gabor’s contributions to the cinematic canon are relatively slim, and her resume is dominated by cameos and supporting roles.

Andy Warhol found inspiration in her for his 1957 “Crazy Golden Slippers” series, displayed at the former Bodley Gallery in New York City.

The artist created paintings of fantasy golden slippers that were named after the celebrities they represented, including Julie Andrews and Mae West. Warhol’s flashy reimagining of a French court-style golden slipper was aptly dubbed: “Zsa Zsa Gabor.”

Her marriages got as much attention as her career, too. She wed: Burhan Asaf Belge (1937 – 1941), Conrad Hilton (April 1942 – 1947), George Sanders (1949 – 1954), Herbert Hutner (1962 – 1966) Joshua S. Cosden, Jr. (1966 – 1967), Jack Ryan (1975 – 1976), Michael O’Hara (1976 – 1983) and Felipe de Alba (1983 – 1983). 

Zsa Zsa remained married to Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt for 30 years (1986 – 2016) until her death. Her marriage to O’Hara in 1976 was the second longest in her history — seven years.

However, it seems that her love affair with shoes has been one of her most fulfilling relationships of all.

The other seven husbands didn’t manage to last longer than a pair of her beloved leopard print boots and matching coat, of which published photos reveal that she had for at least six years.

In photos taken in 1962 and later in 1968, Gabor beamed in the luxe companion pieces. The boots were mid-length and cut below the knee, and featured a round toe profile and around a 1.5-inch heel. Zebra prints were a part of her wardrobe, too, including a pair of double strap platform sandals designed with a red sole.

The capsule puts a luxe spin on Birkenstock’s iconic models: Arizona, Florida and Tokio. The designs incorporate Italian leather with python embossing. Other design details include a palette of beige and red to echo the snake’s varied patterns, contrasted with a black leather-covered footbed. Gold and silver buckles add a celebratory touch that nods to the Lunar New Year.

The line is set for release on Dec. 18 on 1774.com and at select retailers.

Giuseppe Zanotti is celebrating 30 years in business with a limited-edition capsule collection placing the brand’s Ring sandal in the spotlight. Released Dec. 9, the shoes are now available from Giuseppe Zanotti’s flagship boutiques, online store and select multi-brand retailers.

The Ring sandal, considered an icon of the luxury brand, first hit the scene more than 20 years ago. The longstanding silhouette features a crystal embellished strap around the big toe as well as a slender strap across the midsection of the foot.

Zanotti said of the style, “More than just a shoe, to me the Ring is a manifesto. It perfectly embodies my philosophy of enhancing rather than hiding the foot. The minimalistic upper consists of just an ultra-thin leather strap with a nude effect, and the bejeweled ring embellishes the foot.”

The designer also discussed the shoe at a dinner hosted at Caviar Kaspia in Paris last month, when he said the style would be available for one year.

An official description of the reimagined shoe reads, “The crystal pavé has been replaced by a choreography of crystal-clear gems in three cuts – carré, baguette, round – and in different sizes, creating a uniquely vibrant play of reflections. Each toe ring is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, in which every jewel is applied meticulously by hand.”

In addition to a flat version, the collection introduces a variation of the sandal with a block heel. For both iterations, the sole features a customized 30th anniversary signature.

Giuseppe Zanotti has certainly made waves in the world of luxury footwear since its inception. As it celebrates three decades, it remains a brand beloved by stars. Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift are among the celebrities who have worn Giuseppe Zanotti this year. Additionally, Mary J. Blige has collaborated with the brand, with their most recent drop being a white thigh-high boot.

She has created two colorways, a beige and chocolate brown that will be applied to the Air Max Dn that will be released on Dec. 20.

“Beauty has a massive presence in women’s sport today,” said Ffrench. “It’s been inspiring, working with athletes throughout this journey with Nike—and humbling to feel that the things I’m creating are helping these women feel good and give them confidence to perform at their peak”.

Ffrench added that female athletes inspired the collaboration.

“Female athletes show that you can have it all. You can have prowess in sport. You can be at the top of your game. You can take an interest in your appearance. You can express yourself in as many ways as you want and still be a top athlete. Beauty doesn’t undermine any of that. Beauty actually enhances it,” she explained.

Nike released the Air Max Dn on March 26, a date known affectionately by sneakerheads as Air Max Day. The shoe is a clear departure from previous looks in the iconic franchise, which was an intentional move from the design team.

“It’s important to note that we’re not making the Max 1 anymore,” Kathy Gomez, Nike VP of NXT Footwear, told FN at a media preview in late January. “We’ve evolved so much because we have this foundation of experience and expertise that we build on we learn from. I would say the team is even more passionate today about continuing to improve the benefits of Air for consumers.”

The Mary Jane, which comes in suede or silk satin, features a pearl button on the strap. It’s meant to symbolize rarity, purity, honesty, and wisdom. It also happens to be traditional 30^th anniversary gift.

The original Mary Jane made its debut in 1994 and was inspired by a photograph of Kate Moss shot by Corinne Day. Designer Manolo Blahnik said he wanted to create a “classic and refined” style based on the photo. 

“I had gone through a bit of a Baroque period in the early 1990s and wanted to counter that, so I went minimalist,” said the designer. 

“It started with the idea of a standard Mary Jane, but then I made it sexy, with a pointed toe, high heel – and in black patent with a grosgrain trim.”​

The shoe became a hit after Moss wore it in the pages of British Vogue. 

The image, shot by Juergen Teller, continues to inspire Blahnik and the style has since been spotted on Hollywood women including Halle Berry, Emerald Fennell and Laura Dern.

The pearl Mary Jane style comes in ivory and black and is available exclusively online and at the Manolo Blahnik boutiques in London, New York, Paris, Hong Kong, and China.

In addition to marking the Mary Jane anniversary, Manolo Blahnik has also created a new collectors’ edition called A Splendid Blahnik, which features the designer’s favorite designs. 

The styles will be exclusive to Manolo Blahnik retail and e-commerce stores. Each one comes with an embroidered dust bag and a limited-edition sketch. 

For Winter 2024 the style is known as the Trebeda, and is inspired by the traje de luces, or suit of lights, worn by matadors in Blahnik’s native Spain. 

The suit got its name from the reflective gold and silver embroidery and extravagant light-catching beading, and the Trebada shoe is similarly embellished. It features beaded fringes, scalloped detailing and textural raffia, recalling the drama of the Spanish ensembles.

The snake in Chinese culture represents wisdom, elegance and transformation.

For this collection, the footwear brand is taking its signature Arizona, Florida and Tokio designs and reimagining them in new ways with contrasting textures of soft suede and soft nappa leather.

Birkenstock’s Florida style, which is made up of three-straps, has been produced in a beige and red snake skin. The same snake skin print has also been applied to the two-strap Arizona sandal. Meanwhile, the Tokio has been revisited in black and beige suede with python embossed straps and hardware in gold or silver.

In September, Birkenstock rolled out a new category of foot care collection called Care Essentials, which includes Relaxing Bath Salts, Smoothing Pumice Stone, Exfoliating Foot Scrub, Nourishing Foot Balm, Relief Lotion Tired Leg & Foot, Comforting Dry Oil and kits of these products, ranging from $10 to $50, all made in Germany. 

The German company, which reported earnings of 565 million euros in the third quarter, is also celebrating its 250th anniversary this year.

Earlier this year, the brand introduced two new footwear silhouettes: the 33 Dougal, inspired by the iconized Birkenstock Boston clog, and the 222 West, designed to blend the classic Birkenstock Arizona two-strap sandal with the Boston style. Both styles are crafted with a high-shine finish.

To celebrate the new styles, the brand unveiled a campaign featuring four New York-based creatives: Cassi Namoda, Rafael Prieto, Coco Gordon Moore and Louis Mueller.

The shoes are developed and produced by Brazilian powerhouse Arezzo & Co. — known for its own labels Alexandre Birman and Schutz — in partnership with Jaya Apparel Group.

Cinq à Sept footwear launches with 12 silhouettes, featuring an everyday sling-back, festive holiday satin heels, ballerina pumps and espadrilles in a range of leather, denim, raffia, mixed materials.

The shoe retail from $295 to $485.

While the company is only eight years old, co-founder and co-CEO Jane Siskin said launching a footwear category was a long-time coming and an organic move for the brand.

“When we started this brand, we set out to really think about a complete lifestyle, and a very specific aesthetic — something that is on trend, but not trendy, and always has a little bit of a sexy edge. There was really nothing like it in footwear. So, not only did I always want to do [shoes], but it really felt right for the brand to have,” she told FN in June.

Ahead of the launch, Katie Holmes was spotted in New York on Nov. 20 wearing Cinq à Sept from head to toe, including a pair of denim and leather slingback pumps from the new collection.

Wearing, Cinq à Sept’s Sylvie Denim Slingback Pump in the Light Indigo/Saddle colorway, Holmes paired the look with a black leather button-down midi skirt. The shoe’s upper features light blue denim and a brown slingback strap with a small metallic buckle. The tapered heel measures at 60 mm and is available in two additional colorways, retailing for $345.

For their second tie-up, the duo has reinterpreted Keds’ Mary Jane sneaker with Batsheva’s signature blend of vintage-inspired feminine aesthetics.

Available in a black or red colorway, the Batsheva Mary Jane Mesh Polka Dot sneaker features embroidered polka dots and Batsheva’s signature woodland print on the insoles. The shoes also include tonal rubber toe caps, dot-textured foxing, a 1-inch platform bottom with lugged outsoles, a hook-and-loop strap and a pull tab at the heel.

“During my very first conversation with the Keds team, I mentioned how much I wanted to do a Mary Jane shoe, and I am so excited that we made it happen for our second drop,” Hay said in a statement. “We used the mesh with embroidered dots from our first styles but re-envisioned it as a Mary Jane in red and black, so you can wear them with everything. A Mary Jane with a sock has been my favorite thing to wear with dresses since childhood, and it pairs so nicely with my entire clothing collection.”

This release comes just months after the duo’s first collection. In April, the two brands joined forces on “The Keds Point” styles, which included a black-and-white sateen sneaker and a lime green mesh sneaker. The collaborative styles, which initially debuted on the Batsheva fall ’24 runway in February during New York Fashion Week, came with two sets of laces, including a luxe velvet and a flatweave cotton lace.

Collaborations like this one have become a key strategy for Keds since it was acquired by DSW parent company Designer Brands Inc. in 2023. Prior to the deal, DSW was Keds’ largest wholesale customer. Since Designer Brands purchased Keds from Wolverine Worldwide the company has been focused on updating its vision, brand messaging, as well as its product assortment.

Other recent collaborations from Keds included shoes with Monster High, Recreational Habits, Staud, Barbie and Magnolia Bakery.

The new Keds by Batsheva Mary Jane Mesh Polka Dot sneaker, which retails for $110, is now available on Keds.com.

Set to launch Thursday is the Veneda Carter x Timberland 6-Inch Waterproof Boot in a new color along with a new addition to the range: a stiletto-equipped Veneda Carter x Timberland 14-Inch Lace-Up Zip Boot. Both styles follow the blueprint laid by Carter’s previous Timberland collaborations, making use of shiny patent leather uppers instead of the boot’s more traditional drab looks. 

First collaborating on the classic wheat Timberland 6-Inch Waterproof Boot in September 2022, Carter’s collaboration was nicknamed “Glazed” due to its donut-like finish. The success of the project led Timberland to restock the wheat pair in March 2024 along with releasing a black colorway and introducing two styles of a Zip Boot with a stiletto heel. Now, the next installment of the Veneda Carter x Timberland collection takes things to the extreme.

Highlighted by the fan-favorite Veneda Carter x Timberland 6-Inch Waterproof Boot in silver patent leather, the latest look for the viral boots sees them dipped in a chrome-like finish with a translucent rubber outsole. The 6-Inch Waterproof boot retails for $250.

Debuting in this week’s launch is the Veneda Carter x Timberland 14-Inch Lace-Up Zip Boot. Much like the Tall Lace Boot from Carter’s first Timberland collection in ’22, the 14-Inch Lace-Up Zip Boot features full-length zipper at the medial side, but this time the boot has been colored in a bright blue patent leather with accents of silver and features an updated shape and stitch pattern. The designer’s 14-Inch Lace-Up Zip Boot is priced at $300.

Both shoes in the latest Veneda Carter x Timberland drop will be released Thursday, Nov. 21 alongside apparel including a parka ($450), boiler suit ($400), 2-in-1 skirt ($270) and a vest ($180). All of the items will be available from timberland.com and select retailers.

A Look Back at Aaliyah’s Style and Shoes

Told the traditional gift for that milestone is pearl, he was surprised, familiar mostly with silver for 25th anniversaries and gold for the 50th.

Clutching a small glass of chilled vodka, Zanotti related that in Italian culture, pearls have a negative association around weddings, their round shape resembling tears and considered by some an omen for a sad marriage.

Not that he hasn’t used pearls on shoes over his vast career, which spans 40 years if you count his decade as a freelance designer.

“I used them for the first time with Vera Wang, because I designed bridal shoes for her, and she loved to apply the pearl,” he related.

Artist Thomas Lélu, photographer Cate Underwood and influencer Camille Charrière were among revelers who tucked into smoked salmon and caviar-topped potatoes, co-branded Kaspia/Giuseppe turquoise napkins spread on their laps.

Zanotti has already hosted anniversary dinners in Taipei, Bangkok and Hong Kong, and he’s planning another for New York City in early December in tandem with a collection presentation.

He’s also marking the milestone with a special shoe.

“We designed a sandal with a ring toe. I first did them 30 years ago, and I changed them a little bit,” he said, noting the style would be available for one year from January.

Propped on easels at one end of the dining room were photos from a fashion shoot he did featuring the style, the toe-ring glinting with crystal embroideries.

Today, Zanotti said he sells more flats and mid-heel shoes than high heels, “but also I cannot forget this sense of elegance of the high stilettos,” he said.
