The Comfortable Heels You Didn’t Notice in Meryl Streep’s ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Press Tour Outfits

Meryl Streep Elevates Comfort and Style with Sole Bliss Heels During Press Tour

Meryl Streep has been making waves during the promotional tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2, showcasing a series of fashionable appearances. With numerous premieres lined up, Streep has prioritized both comfort and style with the help of stylist Micaela Erlanger, who has collaborated with footwear brand Sole Bliss.

“We share the same view that stylish high heels shouldn’t be inherently uncomfortable,” said Sole Bliss founder Lisa Kay. “Our ambition with the collection was to make ‘5-inch stiletto’ and ‘comfort’ synonymous.”

The collaboration resulted in the Riviera Heel, which combines Sole Bliss’s comfort-focused features with Erlanger’s design prowess tailored to Streep’s personal style. The shoe is available in various shades, including classic black and eye-catching gold.

Streep has already donned both color variations during her press events, and the Riviera Heel is offered in a total of seven colors, from nude patent leather to vibrant hot pink suede. The shoes feature a triple-layered cushioning system designed to redistribute pressure, complemented by a hidden stretch panel for added comfort and accommodating bunions without sacrificing aesthetics. Kay developed the idea for Sole Bliss after her own struggles with bunions.

“Suddenly you can give women a heel they can actually wear for a three-hour premiere, a dinner, and an after-party,” added Kay. This approach resonates with Streep, who emphasizes the importance of allowing women to feel both stylish and comfortable in their footwear.

While Streep has become a prominent fan of the brand, she is not the first celebrity associated with Sole Bliss. Dame Helen Mirren was the brand’s first notable supporter, and her endorsement helped solidify the shoes’ reputation in Hollywood. The growing celebrity clientele now includes the likes of Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, and Queen Camilla.

Reflecting on the brand’s ethos, Kay remarked, “Comfortable, red carpet-worthy heels are our bread and butter, giving women the power to look good and feel good, no sacrifice required.” She noted that feedback from customers who can enjoy prolonged wear without discomfort further validates Sole Bliss’s mission.

With Streep leading the way, and with a commitment to comfort and style, the partnership between Sole Bliss and fashion-forward advocates like Micaela Erlanger may pave the way for more innovation in women’s footwear.
