In 2012, reality TV icon and fashionista NeNe Leakes—then widely recognized for her role as Coach Roz on Glee and her scene-stealing presence on The Real Housewives of Atlanta—designed a bold cutout bootie called the Nethia for ShoeDazzle.

Priced at an accessible $39.95, the stiletto-heeled design featured a silver metallic platform and sculptural silhouette that reflected NeNe’s confident, attention-commanding style.
