Steve Madden is ringing in festival season with a social media miniseries featuring recreations of famous album covers, starring model Delilah Belle. Rolling out this week, the series showcases key styles from the brand’s festival collection ranging from slides to heels to boots.
The albums, which also happen to be some of Madden’s favorites, include Bob Dylan’s “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” — with the famed singer-songwriter’s grandson Levi Dylan featured alongside Delilah Belle. Recreating his grandfather and then girlfriend Suze Rotolo’s arm-in-arm Greenwich village stroll, the two are respectively sporting the Haynes Black Leather boot for men and the Raptor Black Distressed boot.

Another recreated album cover is Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black,” in which Belle wears the Ramos Stone Red/Brown Print style, a multicolored strappy heel, with a belted white dress in homage to the late musician.
Next, for an homage to Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours,” Belle hits Stevie Nicks’ dance pose in the Cutsey Black leather style, a slip-on ballerina echoing the ballet style worn by the singer. The men’s Haynes Black Leather boots show up again for the model standing in the place of Mick Fleetwood.
The cover for The Mamas & the Papas’ “If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears” was also recreated, with the Stage Cognac Leather boot featured as the hero product — in reference to Michelle Phillips wearing a cowboy boot style in the bathtub-set photo.
Last but not least, Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” album received an homage as well; kneeling in a red button-down layer just as the pop star once did, Belle wears the Arwen Brown Leather platform slides to complete the look, similar to the chunky platform sandal worn by Spears.
Steve Madden is known for inventive, quirky and artistic campaigns. The fall 2025 campaign “Everyone Has Something to Say About Shoes” was inspired by indie cinema while the fall 2024 campaign “Never Miss a Beat” campaign featured icons of New York City. And, of course, the brand is behind the famous “Big Head Girl” ads from the late ’90s and early 2000s which featured models with altered, oversize heads.
