Susan Lucci was back in the spotlight this week. The actress participated in 92NY’s Recanati-Kaplan Talks on Tuesday. During her “Susan Lucci in Conversation with Andy Cohen: All My Children at 55” event, she discussed details about the long-running soap opera, dishing on everything from her onscreen love life to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ audition scenes. For the event, Lucci chose a long-sleeved black and blue sequined dress. She also wore silver hoop earrings.

For shoes, Lucci wore a pair of Rene Caovilla Rinaldi pump stilettos. The footwear is a black velvet pump that is overlayed with a beige layer, studded with crystals. The shoe includes a pointed toe and a rounded vamp. The heel likely measures about four inches.

The shoes sport a glittery, silver sole. The sole is a signature of Caovilla designs. They have used that sole on their footwear since 2008 and refer to it as a “stardust sole.” In addition, on the sole the shoe sports the Caovilla logo which is a heel feeling a strap that winds up the leg. This style is the company’s Cleo, a design more than 50 years old.

Caovilla is widely recognized for its Cleo sandals, which pay homage to Queen Cleopatra, as well as their various versions such as the Margot. Both designs feature straps that elegantly wrap around the leg, drawing inspiration from the form of a snake bangle.

But Caovilla is also known for its use of embellishments. Edoardo Caovilla, father of the namesake Rene Caovilla, began the family business in 1923. At the time his wife would hand-embroider the shoes with other employees. Over the years, in addition to the Cleo, the company also has continually made designs inspired by crystal chandeliers, with dangling crystals.
