Gabby Thomas Is Winter-Ready In Sock Booties On FNAA 2024 Red Carpet
Gabby Thomas wins gold on the running track and on the red carpet. The Olympic medalist arrived at the 38th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards wearing a sophisticated bow-adorned outfit with black sock booties.
Thomas was on-hand to present New Balance with the Company of the Year award at the FNAAs. The Harvard grad signed a deal with the athletic brand in 2018. She won the 200 meter final at the 2024 Paris Olympics wearing New Balance’s FuelCell SuperComp MD-X v3 spike.
The star sprinter was dressed up in a chic layered black ensemble with the statement-making Philippa Bow Cape from Alice + Olivia. The piece features an oversized white bow and arm slits, establishing a classically elegant aura for the athlete. Her look was set off by sheer tights and a pair of booties befitting of the December weather in New York City.

Thomas’s multi-textural boots appeared to feature suede and a sock-like knit material at the ankle. The shoes featured a pointed toe and a heel in back offering Thomas a subtle boost. She posed on the carpet alongside fellow track and field Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who settled on a similar aesthetic for the evening. She donned a lacy black dress with sheer tights and embellished black ankle boots.
For 38 years, the annual FN Achievement Awards — often called the “Shoe Oscars” — have celebrated the style stars, best brand stories, ardent philanthropists, emerging talents and industry veterans. The 2024 event is supported by sponsors Listrak, Marc Fisher, Nordstrom and Vibram.
