Your ESSENCE Festival Won't Be Complete Without These Statement Heels

It's time to step out, Queen!
Your ESSENCE Festival Won't Be Complete Without These Statement Heels
By Dominique Hobdy · Updated October 23, 2020

Okay ladies, it’s time to talk about your shoe game — specifically statement heels. While we completely understand that having the perfect cute flat is essential, it’s also worth noting that sometimes you have to step out in a major way and flats just won’t cut it.

As ESSENCE Festival comes at us full speed, it’s time to really buckle down and get everything together, sis.

A statement heel can take any look from boring to unbelievably hot. This season, as neons dominate, and the spirit of “extra” runs rampant through the fashion world, you won’t be able to go wrong with eye-catching heels.

You can complete an already bomb outfit or punch up a jeans and t-shirt situation with these killer statement makers.
