Zoe Saldana Goes Super Tall in Black Leather Knee-High Platform Boots at Saint Laurent's Fall 2025 Show
Zoe Saldana is sticking with Saint Laurent. The actress has kept a close relationship with the Paris-based brand for the past year. Saint Laurent Productions produced 'Emilia Perez,' for which Saldana reigned triumphant on the awards circuit this year, ultimately nabbing the Academy Award.
In addition, she's one of the faces of the brand, appearing in one of its recent campaigns. So the star did her duty and appeared at the brand's show on Tuesday to watch Anthony Vaccarello's latest collection.

For the event, Saldana wore a pair of second-skin platform boots. The shoes were made of black leather and reached up to her knee. They also included a side zip as well as a rounded, square shaped toe. The leather was tight on Saldana's leg, conforming to its shape.
Most prominently, the boots included a thick, chunky platform. The block heel was also cut thin but wide, which accentuated the silhouette. It likely measured around six inches, a height that is often nearly impossible without a platform.
The shoe was markedly different than what Saint Laurent showed on the runway. The label presented a selection of sharp and shapely single-sole heels. Some boasted thin, curved stilettos with slight flares at their base. The heels of others were straight but also pin thin. The shoes were largely slingbacks and some included an origami satin flower embellishments on the vamp. The toes were cut closely around the silhouette of the foot, curving in before coming to an elongated, sharp point.
That isn't to say that Saint Laurent is averse to a platform: Saldana notably wore the company's satin La Scandale heel throughout awards season. That shoe includes a stacked platform as opposed to the inset platform of the boot she wore on Tuesday. She wore a red version of that open-toe style to the Critics Choice awards and a black version to the Golden Globes.

Waco survivor David Thibodeau on Justin Bieber cult rumors
(NewsNation) — David Thibodeau, one of the nine surviving members of the 1993 Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, is offering insight regarding Justin Bieber's membership in a chuch some consider controversial. Churchome is a Beverly Hills-based church that also has a congregation in Washington State and attracts thousands of people online and in person. Bieber reportedly partakes in its services at home via Zoom. According to TMZ, Ryan Good, a former friend of Bieber's and co-founder of his clothing line Drew House, was also a part of Churchome but left the church and had a falling out with Bieber over it because he said it started to feel like a cult. Bieber has also shared a series of posts on social media detailing his struggles in life and religion. Unexplained deaths in New England creating fears of serial killer Judah Smith, the pastor at Churchome, responded to allegations of the church being a cult, saying, 'We would be the worst cult in the history of all cults' because the church only meets once a month. Thibodeau said Bieber should go with his gut feeling regarding warning signs of whether or not Churchome is a cult. 'There's all kinds of times you feel that you're doing something wrong, but everyone around you is telling you it's right,' Thibodeau said. 'Even though you have that feeling and so many people influencing it, it can overcome your own feeling of what's right and wrong.' Thibodeau added Bieber should take opposing viewpoints into consideration and read things other than the Bible. He said the fact that the church only meets once a month could be a good thing because it gives Bieber time to develop his own thoughts. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream
STANTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Music, food, and crafts at a recent festival in Stanton brought people out of the woodwork. It was also hoped the event would bring a creature out of the woods. 'If you talk about Bigfoot in certain circles, you're going to get laughed at,' said Steve Lindsey, one of the hosts of the Kentucky-based 'News Worthy??' podcast. 'Everybody is either here because they believe or they want to believe.' Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery: A final resting place full of history and mystery A ferry is still a loved way to cross the Kentucky River The first-ever Bigfoot Festival celebrated that there have been dozens of reports of the legendary creature in the nearby Red River Gorge. The cryptid would have been welcome at the festival, so much so that dozens of people lined up to call for him in a contest that was a real scream. No words can describe the variety of yells, whoops, and whistles performed by the crowd. Charlie Raymond, founder of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization, leads local hunts for the creature. He was the perfect person to judge the contest, because he believes he's heard the real thing. 'You could tell some of them have done their homework,' he said. He said whoops and guttural growls are closer to the real thing.

The crowd in the audience roared in approval. 'I can do long laughs and stuff and make a bunch of weird noises, so I just kind of knew what I would do,' Tennison said. Bigfoot didn't answer the call at this festival, but the creature sure has a fan club in these parts. You have to believe that if he ever comes out of hiding, he'd want to make tracks here. 'We were taken aback by how many people were excited about Bigfoot and Bigfoot calling. It was a successful event,' Raymond said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
