The 2026 Ebony Power 100 Gala took place at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Monday, gathering a bevy of stars to celebrate influential figures in the Black community. Among the fashion trends on display, metallic shoes stood out as a popular footwear choice, ranging from dainty sandals to platforms. FN rounds up some of the standout high-shine shoe moments from the event below.

While some opted for gold footwear, Coco Jones went for silver shoes to complete her look. The musician wore a pair of heeled sandals featuring dainty straps and a narrowed sole. The shoes fit in with her gown, which featured an embellished lattice white skirt and bodice contrasted by a black lace bust; a bow adorned the dress at the meeting point of these two juxtaposed sections.

Marsai Martin was one of the guests who brought a gold and green combination to the carpet. She paired a Lovers and Friends halter neck dress featuring a side skirt slit with a pair of gold platform sandals. With a mirror-like finish, the silhouette featured a thick strap across the toes as well as slender ankle straps and a sky-high stiletto heel.

Tiffany Haddish brought a shiny Kevan Hall suit look to the event, which she coordinated with gold pointed-toe heels. She wore a matching gold and white set comprised of creased trousers and a collared jacket that tied in the front. Haddish has demonstrated a liking for gold heels in the past with 3D Gianvito Rossi sandals.

Lauren Speed-Hamilton, who was featured in the inaugural season of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” also opted for a gold and green look for the occasion. Her footwear blended the metallic trend with the animal print trend, specifically the popular reptilian subdivision. Her light gold pointed-toe pumps featured snakeskin embossment, which added textural intrigue to the set. The shoes complemented a high-shine emerald green strapless dress with sculptural details.
