Halle Berry made one of the most disputed moves in the footwear realm today to send a strong message.
The “Catwoman” star took to Instagram this morning to support the movement to get out the vote this election season, using her outfit as a powerful tool. Posed in a cozy oversize sweater dress, the actress slipped on a set of studded suede cage sandals over memorable socks.
The socks come from Fun Socks collaboration with I am a voter., a nonprofit and nonpartisan effort to increase voter turnout during election years. The pair comes branded with the organization’s name stitched across a black top strap with semi-sheer fabric beneath, creating a high-fashion piece of legwear.
With a portion of proceeds benefiting the organization, the Fun Socks x I am a voter. Socks retail for just $14 at FunSocks.com.

From Courteney Cox to Lady Gaga and even Michelle Obama, many stars across all industries are also encouraging voter turnout amidst the pandemic and changed environment.
As for Halle Berry herself, thong-toe sandals are just one of many footwear designs in her rotation. Her go-to brands from footwear include everyone from Brian Atwood to Roger Vivier and Jimmy Choo for more formal occasions.
