Kim Kardashian was among the first celebrity guests to step into Venice on Thursday, ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez‘s wedding party. The Skims’ cofounder did so in a wild-inspired pair of shoes.
Kardashian wore a pair of Amina Muaddi’s Barbara snake print boots, which feature a beige snake-print leather upper with a pointed toe silhouette, slim shaft and a covered stiletto heel. Crafted in Italy, these boots feature a high stiletto heel measuring approximately 105 mm (about 4.25 inches).
Designers and brands are reimagining classic animal patterns, like leopard, snake, zebra and cow prints, across a wide range of footwear in 2025. The snake print, however, seems to be the most popular among celebrities. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Ari Parker and Michael B. Jordan, among others, have worn snakeskin shoes in the past couple of months. Rihanna was also spotted wearing Amina Muaddi’s Barbara boots, like the ones worn by Kardashian.
