Jessica Simpson backed the ongoing platform trend on Saturday in Glendale, wearing her JS Izzella gold platform sandals to launch her new Mystic Canyon fragrance at JCPenney.
The JS Izzella sandal features a round open toe, a thick platform base and a straight stacked heel, finished in gold faux leather with a croc-embossed texture. A slim ankle strap with a small buckle secures the style at the side, while a rubber-injected outsole adds traction.

The pair, currently under $50 at JCPenney, sits within Simpson’s long-running footwear line — the first category introduced by the Jessica Simpson Collection when it debuted in 2005 through a partnership with Vince Camuto. That initial shoe launch became the foundation for the brand’s growth into a major lifestyle company across apparel, accessories and home.
The singer paired the metallic silhouette with Taroth’s fall 2025 mixed-lace dress, a halter design built from alternating floral panels and a scalloped hem. The look was styled by Natalie Saidi.

Simpson’s metallic platform sandal mirrors the series of stacked-heel silhouettes circulating through celebrity wardrobes this fall. Demi Moore brought Saint Laurent’s six-inch Nico boots to the New Yorker Festival in October, a block-heel style with an almond toe and side-zip structure. Taylor Swift has leaned into ultra-high platforms across her “Showgirl” promo cycle, including Gucci’s Horsebit slingback pump in embossed burgundy leather. Taylor Momsen wore one of Versace’s heaviest block-heel boots during her recent visit to the Empire State Building, while Michelle Yeoh and FKA Twigs have stepped out in double-stacked or industrial-proportion platforms at premieres and runway shows.
Against that backdrop, the JS Izzella’s shape reads as a more accessible entry in the same silhouette category. Its smooth platform front and vertical heel line align with the broader return of ‘70s-leaning proportions seen across evening shoes and high-gloss metallic styles. The gold finish also ties cleanly to the palette of Mystic Canyon’s retail packaging, which Simpson held during the event alongside the new Eau de Parfum bottle.

The appearance marked Simpson’s in-store debut for Mystic Canyon, described as a warm amber-floral scent built around pink pepper, black currant, jasmine, Turkish rose and vanilla bean. She met shoppers and posed for photos throughout the afternoon, rounding out the fragrance launch with a footwear choice drawn directly from her own line.
