Issa Rae was among the distinguished guests at her “Insecure” co-star Jay Ellis’ book launch, presented by Malik Books at The Miracle Theater in California on Tuesday.

She donned a simple white tank top tucked into high-waisted, loose-fitting, light-wash jeans. Mid-top white Ferragamo sneakers completed the look, adding a sporty yet sophisticated touch.

The sneakers featured a clean design, with the iconic Ferragamo logo subtly embossed, making them a perfect match for Rae’s relaxed outfit. The mid-top cut provided additional support and comfort, ideal for an evening event.

The event featured a conversation with Jay Ellis and Issa Rae, discussing Ellis’ new book “Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)?: Adventures in Boyhood.” The memoir, a captivating narrative, delves into Ellis’ experiences growing up with an imaginary best friend, blending elements of beloved TV characters like Dwayne Wayne from “A Different World” and Will Smith from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

Rae, who is typically styled by Jason Rembert—also the stylist for Lizzo and Mary J. Blige —often gravitates towards heeled sandals from brands like Alexandre Vauthier, Sergio Hudson, and David Koma. She has a notable affinity for metallic pumps , frequently opting for strappy silhouettes from luxury labels such as Manolo Blahnik and Giuseppe Zanotti for red-carpet appearances. When she’s off-duty, Rae is likely to lace up high-top sneakers from brands like Converse.

Delving further into her footwear journey, Rae has recently been named a global ambassador for Stuart Weitzman, joining the ranks of Lucy Liu, Aly Raisman, Christy Turlington, and Ming Xi. These five women will star in the shoe company’s upcoming campaign film “How Lovely to Be a Woman,” directed by Matvey Fiks and featuring a remixed version of the song from the 1963 film “Bye Bye Birdie.”
