Jennifer Lopez's Milan shoes: Dolce & Gabbana DG Leo leopard slingbacks, and the twin for $49.99.

By I Deserve New Shoes·Updated ·3 min read
TL;DR

Jennifer Lopez's shoe during spring 2027 Milan Fashion Week was the Dolce & Gabbana DG Leo kid leather slingback in the Lollo shape: a multicoloured leopard print, a sharply pointed toe, an elastic slingback strap, goat fur on the outside for texture, a gold DG logo on the leather outsole and a flared 105mm heel. Footwear News identified the pair at $1,745. Ruby's twin is the VOLEECE leopard calf hair slingback at $49.99: the same furry calf-hair texture, the same pointed toe, the same slingback strap. The difference is the heel, hers flared and sculpted where this one is a straight stiletto. 4.4 stars from 248 reviews, in stock with free returns.

The shoe on the street

Head-to-toe leopard is a difficult thing to carry off, and the trick is that every piece is the same print. Lopez came down the hotel steps in Dolce & Gabbana's Leo-print trench - oversized, peak lapels, epaulettes, a self-tie belt knotted at the waist - over the matching Leo-print mini, with a small black patent Sicily bag in her hand. The shoes finished the thought rather than interrupting it.

They are the DG Leo slingback in the house's Lollo shape: a sleek pointed toe, an elastic slingback strap, a leather outsole stamped with a gold DG logo in antique Latin gold plating, and goat fur on the outside so the leopard reads as fur and not as fabric. The heel measures 105mm and flares outward at the base. The reel above recreates the look with AI from an event photograph - a slow pan down the leopard, from the trench to the belt to the hem to the shoes. No face, no press photo.

The twin, and the one difference

The VOLEECE leopard calf hair slingback gets the important part right: real calf hair, so the leopard has the same furry depth rather than looking printed on. The toe is sharply pointed, the slingback strap stretches the same way, and the spots run in the same tan and black rosettes.

The difference is the heel. Hers flares and sculpts outward at the base; this one is a straight stiletto. That is the only thing separating them, and at $49.99 against $1,745 it is a difference worth living with. 4.4 stars from 248 reviews, which is the deepest review base of any twin we have run. One caveat before you click: delivery runs Oct 14 to 23.
