Palmer modeled a sharp pointed-toe pump with a low-cut vamp and fierce stiletto heel offering the “I Love Boosters” actress several extra inches of height. She went with a classic patent leather pump which grounded her ensemble with an elevated glossy finish. This footwear choice was a simple and sleek silhouette fitting in with Palmer’s taste in shoes which ranges from minimalist styles like Femme L.A. mule heels to star-adorned Rene Caovilla heeled sandals.
