Off-White‘s Spring 2025 show kicked off with a bang today in New York.
The presentation, shown under the direction of Creative Director Ib Kamara, was staged at a Brooklyn pick-up basketball court where a slew of notable stars attended wearing some major footwear. The show, titled “Duty-Free,” was inspired by a trip to Ghana, the home country of Off-White’s late founder Virgil Abloh, marrying American and African fashions through the lens of sportswear.
Camila Cabello, Paris Jackson, Zayn Malik, Issa Rae, Victoria Monet, Alessandra Ambrosio, Joan Smalls, Tinashe and Suni Lee were just a few top names in attendance, bringing their fashion a-game to the show’s front row. In honor of the New York showing and the star-studded attendees, FootwearNews is compiling some of the best celeb footwear moments to grace Kamara’s Off-White showing.
Zayn Malik
Malik took a casual and cool route, no doubt outfitted in full Off-White digs. Evoking fall vibes, the singer sported black leather boots in a distressed leather style. Lush black leather uppers transitioned into triangular toes and short stacked black heels fixed with rubber to offer a non-slip feel. Grungy and sleek, the style is on par with Malik’s footwear picks in the past.

Additionally, the “Dusk Till Dawn” singer wore black slacks, a matching black sweater and a brown leather bomber jacket with a glossy lapel.
Camila Cabello
The “Senorita” singer took to the front row in what appeared to be black leather ankle-length booties in a sandal-hybrid style. Rounded open toes gave way to glossy lush leather uppers and 2 to 3-inch block heels that lifted Cabello to new heights. The choice is a grungy one, coordinating well with the singer’s ensemble for the show. It’s likely the shoe pick was from Off-White, much like her outfit.
Speaking of, the performer’s look was comprised of a form-fitted maxi-length dress in black layered overtop a sheer black mesh long-sleeve turtleneck.
Paris Jackson
The “American Horror Stories” star sat front row in black leather sandal heels. The style, from Off-White, featured thin leather uppers in black accompanied by gold hardware in the shape of a paper clip wrapped around Jackson’s ankles. 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels finished off the set. The hardware is a whimsical touch, offering a playful twist to the otherwise classic style.
In a preppy style, Jackson was outfitted in a blue and brown plaid set featuring a blazer and mini skirt combo.
Tinashe
Sleek and impactful, Tinashe donned black leather thigh-high booties. The sleek shoe choice was zip-up and included sharp pointed toes and stiletto heels. Although the footwear pick was quite classic, paired with her ensemble, it imparted a moto style given the glossy uppers and silver hardware.
The “Nasty” singer wore a full Off-White look featuring black and white Off-White-branded micro shorts and a puffer-inspired jacket that folded over and sat off-the-shoulders, letting the jackets colorful lining peek through.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Mules were the name of the former Victoria’s Secret Angel’s game. Ambrosio’s footwear pick was subtle and dainty, fixing the focus on her look instead. Acting from the sidelines in a sense, the mules, obviously from Off-White, were backless and included a thin crisscrossing strappy construction and pointed toes. Stiletto heels rounded out the set. The shoe is very summer-centric, built for warm weather.
On the outfit front, the model wore a black and red slip dress with lace accents layered beneath a black mesh see-through hoodie with pearl accents.
Coco Jones
Taking a more colorful route, the “Double Back” singer sported red and yellow sandal heels. The chunky style included cloth crisscrossing straps with open square toes that transitioned into stiletto heels. The choice is graphic and vibrant, unlike some of the front-row attendees’ choices. The chunky silhouette was reminiscent of similar looks popularized in street style culture.
Matching her footwear, Jones wore a form-fitted Off-White halter-style dress in shades of yellow, red and black. The same yellow and red striping from her shoes was translated into her dress, creating a cohesive look.
Suni Lee
Taking a classic route, the gymnast donned white pumps. A traditional composition, the shoe silhouette included white leather uppers, triangular toes and stiletto heels. Always versatile, pumps are a staple in a myriad of celebrities’ closets, Olympians included.
In a not-so-classic twist, Lee wore a light gray mini dress in a sculptural style featuring structured short sleeves and a zip-up closure up the front.
