Keke Palmer has been building an envious shoe closet, and is adding one of Paris Texas’ most popular silhouettes to her lineup. The actress appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to talk about her upcoming film “I Love Boosters” wearing an all-white ensemble with a pair of stark white mules.
“The ‘Burbs” star arrived at the late-night show, wearing the Milan-based celebrity-favorite footwear brand’s Lidia mules. The slip-on style has been worn by stars like Emily Ratajkowski, Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Millie Bobby Brown, Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and more.

The “Nope” star’s sandals are designed with an easy slip-on silhouette and are set on a razor-thin 100mm stiletto covered heel. The rounded-toe style features a single strap across the vamp, that leaves the foot largely exposed for a barely there, minimalist effect.
The shoes retail for $745, and are available in black, burgundy, cream and more. The Lidia design is Paris Texas’ bestseller “in every declination, because it remains recognizable,” its founder Annamaria Brivio told WWD in September.
While the brand features the Lidia pin-thin heel design in a variety of styles like pumps, slingbacks and boots, the sleek Lidia mule is the most popular of its renditions. The slingback pump version has been worn by stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, Miley Cyrus, Florence Pugh and more.
As WWD reported, Brivio established Paris Texas with Massimo Baltimora in 2015 after finding a gap in the market for fashion-oriented, good-quality footwear at a competitive price point. In 2019 Brivio was honored with the Emerging Talent Award at the annual Footwear News Achievement Awards, and in 2023 Brazilian conglomerate Arezzo & Co. invested 25 million euros to acquire 65 percent of the company, marking its first international acquisition.
On Tuesday, Palmer wore the minimalist sandals with a white halter minidress that featured a distinctive stand-alone collar detail down the front with gold button details. Palmer is set to star in “I Love Boosters,” a crime comedy film written and directed by Boots Riley, and also stars Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle and Demi Moore.
The film premiered at the 2026 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival in March and will be released on May 22. The film is set in a surreal version of the San Francisco Bay Area, and follows a group of shoplifters, known as “boosters,” who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven after she steals their designs.
