Zendaya isn’t the only celebrity who’s donned the towering heels. In 2014, Jennifer Lopez wore the same shoes to promote American Idol. Lopez wore the statement shoes during the height of the gladiator sandal renaissance.

But since then, they’ve fallen out of fashion, with flip-flops claiming the title of Sandal Du Jour for the third summer running.
