Marc Jacobs Kiki Platform Boots Review
I Attempted to Wear Olivia Rodrigo's Infamously Tall, 7-Inch Platform Boots

However, there's simply no denying that the Kiki boot is a work of art. It's a masterpiece dreamed up by none other than Marc Jacobs — one of the most celebrated American designers of our generation (he's a 9-time CFDA winner in both the womenswear and accessory categories). He has crafted his own signature brand of grunge, and these platforms are right in line.
While, for me, they could easily be dangerous, as I'm known for being quite clumsy, I actually appreciate their style and how versatile they are — at least when compared to the Versace Medusa, which I have also tried. While those shoes emitted glamour and seemed to call for an ultra-feminine look, the Kiki paired well with everything from a strapless pinstripe skater dress to a sporty tracksuit replete with parachute pants. For going out, I even put them on with leather Bermuda shorts, an open-back top, and bejeweled socks, making for an ensemble that was both edgy and playful.
