For shoes, Parker chose a sharp pair of slingback heels. Specifically, the actress wore the Lidia slingback from Paris Texas. That shoe features a sharply pointed toe and low, rounded vamp. In addition, the upper then narrows along the sides of the foot to become a slingback. The stiletto is precariously thin. It is just over four inches and raises the shoe’s single sole.

Paris Texas sells the Lidia slingback for $595. Kodojoe also chose black leather, with a pair of Chelsea boots.

Slingback styles have been getting a considerable amount of attention. Celebrities wore slingback heels throughout 2024 in a variety of heights. Everyone from Meghan Markle to Katie Holmes and Heidi Klum wore them. Though we are only a month into 2025, they’ve been getting traction already. Kylie Jenner notably wore a patent leather low style at Chanel’s show. Alessandra Ambrosio also wore a crystalized kitten heel slingback to the Marc Cain fashion show in Berlin.
