How One Black Woman’s 12-Year-Old Sophia Webster Heels Saved Zendaya’s Viral ‘Odyssey’ Press Tour Look

This is what happens when Black women look out for each other. Zendaya and her coveted stylist, Law Roach, were on a desperate hunt for a pair of Sophia Webster’s iconic gladiator sandals dubbed the “Clementine Heels,” just in time for The Odyssey press tour in July. The search seemed to hit a dead end, until a longtime fan stepped in and offered her own pair. Zendaya’s 12-year-old Sophia Webster gladiator sandals ultimately made their way to The Odyssey press tour thanks to one longtime brand fan, Yvette Monique, who was willing to send her very first pair of Clementine Heels straight to Law Roach.

Here’s how Yvette Monique saved the day with her Clementine Heels.

In a video shared to TikTok on Aug. 14, Webster revealed the unlikely journey her fall 2014 Clementine heels took after Roach’s team reached out hoping to borrow them. The shoes, which resemble a pair of gladiator sandals straight out of Athens, were exactly what his team had in mind for Zendaya’s press-tour wardrobe.

The request was “very specific and intentional,” Webster explained. But there was one major problem: she hadn’t seen a pair in 12 years, much less a pair that was still in good condition and Zendaya’s size.
