Mel B Gives the Socks and Heels Trend an Animal Print Twist

Mel B brought an animal-print twist to the divisive socks-and-heels trend in New York City on Wednesday.

Out and about promoting Revive Callogen, for which the musician serves as global brand ambassador, Mel B wore a pair of purple satin platform heels from Charlotte Olympia. She looked to be wearing the brand’s Paloma 140mm pumps, which feature a platform, pointed toe and a towering stiletto heel — 140mm translates to about 5.5 inches. The pump is further distinguished by pleated detailing in the back, an element which aligns with the creative flair Charlotte Olympia is known for. The style would appear to no longer be sold directly by the brand, which was founded by designer and creative director Charlotte Olympia Dellal, but can be found on resale platforms.

Mel B added her own flair to the pumps, adding leopard print ankle socks into the mix which served as a striking contrast to the violet satin of her shoes. This combination aligned with the rest of her look, which included a deep purple fitted jacket and miniskirt set — with a leopard print garment layered underneath the jacket. No stranger to a bold or unconventional shoe look, Mel B walked in the Natasha Zinko fall 2026 show in February wearing furry pumps with a dog-like face.

WWD exclusively reported in March that Mel B is a new global brand ambassador for Revive Callogen, a liquid supplement brand. She is promoting its menopause trio, which includes Peri Menopause, Menopause Max and Menopause Beauty Sleep.

“When I was coming up to my 50th birthday last year I’d really been looking into the best supplements for aging, for menopause and for skin and hair, which do really suffer in menopause,” she told WWD. “A friend told me she took liquid supplements and recommended Revive Collagen. I did my research and went for it and regardless of anything I read I could literally feel the difference and tell the difference with my skin and hair within a matter of weeks.”
