Gayle King Supports Hoda Kotb on Her Last Day on ‘Today’ Show in Hot Pink SJP Pumps

Gayle King made a surprise appearance on the “Today Show” in a hot pink pair of pointed-toe pumps from Sarah Jessica Parker’s “SJP” shoe line.

Supporting Hoda Kotb for her last day on the show, King turned up in a pair of the brand’s “Reflection” pumps, which have previously been seen on Parker’s television series “And Just Like That.” Retailing for $450 and crafted with patent leather material, the shoes are characterized by a pointed-toe aesthetic, and made with satin pink uppers and color-blocked toes that include a mixture of gold, pink and silver. The silhouette is completed by a sharp 3-to-4 inch stiletto heel, which is within the height range that the journalist prefers.

Complimenting her pink pumps was a matching A-line pink dress that offered a fitted style and v-neck cut. Emphasized by a slit down the middle, the dress features a button-up design and short sleeves that highlight your shoulders. 

When King isn’t in pumps, she typically prefers wearing Sneex shoes, which are a sneaker-stiletto hybrid (also called hy-heels) brand founded by Sara Blakely and recently included as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things of 2024. The brand was also one of last year’s honorees at the FN Achievement Awards (FNAAs), where they received the award for  Launch of the Year. 

In November, King was spotted walking around New York City in a red and pink pair known as The Tepper style that features a 78 millimeter heel, napa leather, Italian mesh and suede materials. The curved heel gives the silhouette some extra drama, while still being ultra comfortable to walk in, which is the goal of Sneex shoes in general. That same week, she appeared on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” with a green pair of the shoes.

This past August, King invited Blakely onto her show “CBS Morning,” sharing posts on Instagram afterwards where she raved about the shoe, including a video of her pushing a suitcase through the airport while donning a pair of green Sneex saying people stopped her to ask where she purchased them.
