Lynda Carter attended the 2025 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner held tonight at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C.
The “Wonder Woman” star graced the red carpet in an unusual pick, foregoing the usual high heels for a pair of platform sneakers. The slip-on style, hailing from Vince Warren, can be purchased on Amazon for $104.14 to $250.00, depending on the colorway.
The chosen low-top style features almond-shaped toes and black cloth uppers fixed with stretchy rubber sides for all-day comfort. Cushioned insoles give way to 2-inch platform soles that offer a subtle but noticeable boost in height. The platform sneaker comes in an array of neutral hues, including “Fog Gray Suede” and “White Plaster Leather.”

Carter spoke to Prevention Magazine regarding the style, telling the publication that she wears them “more than anything.” The slip-on function makes for easy off and on while the cushioned soles offer the wearer major support. ““They’re platforms. I don’t have to wear heels. I have a lot of sneakers,” said Carter.
In addition to her comfy footwear choice, the “Sky High” actress donned a lengthy black sequin gown. The garment was crafted of a high-shine black sequin fabric and featured a mock-neckline, quarter-length sleeves and black lace trim. As for accessories, Carter sported gold jewelry in a maximalist style heavily stacked on her wrists and around her neck.
