Taraji P. Henson dressed to impress for a meet and greet with her fans. The actress wore Gia Borghini mules to promote Seven Daughters Wines at an event, which took place at Vons on Wednesday in Inglewood, Calif.
The actress joined Seven Daughters Moscato as a strategic adviser and creative collaborator of the brand in November 2024, and met fans at the event who went home with signed wine bottles. Styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, Henson slid on a pair of Gia Borghini‘s AMG Mule slippers in a deep milk chocolate brown hue for the meet and greet.

The shoes are made from a leather upper. The mules feature a sleek toe-loop with a thick toe strap across the vamp, giving the shoe a thong sandals effect.

The sharp, pointed tip adds an edgier flair to the mule. She paired the mules with a white spring 2025 Patou safari jacket that she wore as a minidress.
Mules have been a go-to shoe for celebrities this summer, with many of them reaching for Paris Texas Lydia mule style, and Halle Bailey recently wearing a black leather style from Santoni. Mules are characterized by their backless design, and the style with an added heel continues to be a popular choice for women. The design is available in a wide range of styles, materials and heel heights, and is particularly suitable during warmer weather as a flirty, versatile shoe option. While their existence can be traced back to ancient times, mules experienced a resurgence in popularity with the rise of Y2K fashion and media like the TV show “Sex and the City.”
While Henson’s pair is not from a current collection, Gia Borghini has also released a variety of mule styles this year. Some of its latest mule designs were part of its footwear collaboration with supermodel Elsa Hosk’s Helsa clothing brand, which was released in March. The collection blended the Italian luxury footwear brand’s expertise in luxury craftsmanship with Helsa’s Scandinavian-inspired designs, and the selection of shoes included a variety of slip-on styles, from trendy animal print mules to elevated, everyday heels and flats.
