Sara Blakely is taking her love of comfy fashion to new heights.
Decades after founding Spanx — and growing it to a billion-dollar business — the iconic entrepreneur is working on a different solutions-based style: Sneex, a sneaker-stiletto hybrid.
“Like my first business, Spanx, I created Sneex because I was a frustrated consumer,” Blakely tells Page Six Style, calling her sporty-chic heels a “love letter to all the women who have been told that beauty is pain.”
Since Sneex’s 2024 launch, the quirky shoes have gotten off on the right foot with stars; Hoda Kotb, Reese Witherspoon and Gayle King have all raved about them, while Oprah featured the innovation on two back-to-back “Favorite Things” lists.
“When Latto wore Sneex on stage during one of her concerts last year, I was elated,” Blakely adds of her favorite celebrity moments. “[And] Suki Waterhouse wore the white Tepper for a photo shoot (in a bikini no less!) which was so fun.”
As for how she styles the shoes herself? Below, the business mogul dishes on her six top style and beauty staples, from her “signature” red lipstick to a pair of surprisingly comfortable jeans.
“I love a bold red lip. It’s my signature. This lipstick from Gucci Westman’s brand, Westman Atelier, is a go-to.”
“Playfulness is a core theme in my wardrobe. I am drawn to jewelry that doesn’t feel too serious. These earrings from Roxanne Assoulin are classic with a wink.”
“My favorite outfit is jeans and a T-shirt. You can’t beat it! I saw Gayle King wear these denim look-alikes on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ (with Sneex!) and I thought she looked effortlessly cool.”
“An easy to way to liven up any outfit is to wear a pair of outrageous sunglasses. I have tons. These from Jimmy Fairly are so fun.”
“One of my favorite Sneex styles is the Tepper in Taupe. This style is named after my daughter Tepper. It’s made with the most beautiful Italian fabric called Leone mesh. You can wear it with everything from jeans to party outfits.”
“During the winter, hats are always a part of my outfit. This beanie from Missoni is on my wish list.”
