Jessica Simpson is sending her children off to start a new school year. In family photos she posted to social media in acknowledgement of the milestone, Simpson wore animal print platform boots with a vibrant green dress.
While Simpson has no shortage of animal print shoes under her namesake fashion banner, she appeared to be wearing a pair of jaguar print platform boots from Roberto Cavalli, a brand known for featuring that particular pattern in its creations.
The shoe features a round platform in front and a tall tapered heel in the back, both of which make a bold statement in addition to the beige and black animal print itself. Additional signature Cavalli details include a Tiger Tooth silver pendant on the side zipper and Mirror Snake hardware. The boots typically retail for $1,204 from Roberto Cavalli but are currently marked down to $785.
Simpson styled the eye-catching shoes with a shiny green slip dress evoking “Brat” summer — or potentially ringing in “Brat” fall as the change of seasons nears. She also wore a cropped lace-trimmed black layer and several necklaces and bracelets. Meanwhile, her oversized brown and black patterned sunglasses subtly picked up her boots.
Simpson is a noted fan of a wildlife-inspired shoe. In 2022, she stepped out in a similar pair of boots from Saint Laurent — these shoes featured a platform and a substantial block heel. Her own label offers a range of animal print shoes, from wedges to pumps to boots.
In her personal style, the multi-hyphenate appreciates a platform boot; she recently wore a dramatic glossy white pair from Bottega Veneta with a rose-patterned catsuit and fuzzy jacket. A veteran of the fashion industry, Simpson was honored with the Icon Award at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in 2023. More recently, she released a western-inspired collection for spring 2024.
