If you’re looking for a shoe that will go with every single item in your closet, Martha Stewart has given a masterclass many a times in the art and versatility of the metallic platform sandal. Time and time again, she’s shown us that the ageless shoe is actually closet staple-worthy because it goes with everything, from evening gowns to caftans and so much more. What’s more, Taylor Swift is also a fan of towering style, and the latest to join the club is singer Jessica Simpson.

At five-foot-four, I’ve been inspired to snag a pair of my own metallic platforms. I’m shocked at how comfortable these shoes are in addition to being versatile and outfit-elevating. Every outfit I wear them with looks that much better. Shop lookalike styles below, plus the exact shoes Simpson is wearing, from $40.
Jessica Simpson-Inspired Metallic Platforms
Jessica Simpson Aamina Platform Sandal

Simpson has always been a fan of platform sandals. Like I mentioned, they add height to her five-foot-three frame and compliment her boho style. From the straps to the extra chunky heel, this gold pair from her namesake brand is *chef’s kiss.* Plus, they come in silver if you prefer, too.

I think this strappy Amazon find looks pretty similar to the shoes Simpson is wearing—and they’re under the $50 mark. One shopper says they “made it through a wedding” without having to take their shoes off because they’re that “comfortable.”
Dream Pairs Platform Chunky Heel

This $46 find has a crisscross strap and sky-high platform. They’re available in silver and gold in all sizes. I love how chunky this pair is, and at $40, I’m seriously debating adding them to my cart.
Chinese Laundry Theresa Heeled Sandal

Martha Stewart inspired me to get these, and the reviews are next-level. A shopper with a “broken toe” wore them to a wedding and “danced all night long” without pain, while another says they wore them for “eight hours,” noting their feet didn’t hurt “at all.”
Modatope Platform Heels
Amazon
If you’re on the hunt for a sturdy pair of heels, this platform sandal has a tapered heel so the bottom is thicker than the top. This means they’ll be ultra-supportive and you won’t have to worry about wobbling. Plus, if you’re attending an outdoor wedding, they won’t sink into the grass.
Aerosoles Camera Platform Heeled Sandal
Amazon
Aersoles is famous for its comfort, and this metallic pair with a slightly lower heel is available in all sizes—including wide-width options. They still have the chunky, leg-lengthening aspect of Simpson’s shoes, so it’s the best of both worlds. One shopper says they walked in them for “12 hours” without “any issues.”

Another pair of platforms from Simpson’s line, the heel and platform are a bit less chunky, but just as elongating. Per shoppers, they’re “very comfortable.” They come in silver, gold, and so many more shades.
