Timberland Teams up With Luar To Create Custom Thigh-High Lace-up Boots for ‘Industry’ Star Myha’la’s 2025 Met Gala Look
Timberland teamed up with actress Myha’la and luxury clothing brand Luar to create a one-of-a-kind pair of thigh-high silk Moiré Timberland boots for the 2025 Met Gala.
Designed by Raul Lopez, the boots were crafted with patent leather material, and stopped mid-thigh. Made with a lace up design the shoes were emphasized by a sharp triangular toe box, which paved the way for a dramatized upper.

A closed-back construction kept the “Industry” star’s feet in place as she walked, and while the back couldn’t be seen completely, the shoes were likely completed by a slender stiletto heel measuring between 4-to-5 inches in height.
Known for their comfort, the silhouette is often praised for its versatility and ease of styling as it can be worn to a variety of events. Pointed-toes are a retro style that has been around since the early 1900s. The current versions of pointed-toe, including pumps, boots and flats, are a classic model that merges elements of that retro style with current 2020s inspiration.
As for her outfit, the actress showcased a grey custom sculptural from Luar, which stole the show thanks to its daring design. Per the brand, the dress contained over 2,000 grommets, giving some insight into the intricacy and detail of its construction. As for her accessories, she incorporated some jewelry through a pair of dangling earrings, which really accentuated her braided updo and natural makeup look.
“This year felt like the perfect moment to work with Timberland,” Lopez, who was born in Brooklyn, said in a statement. “They are a New York classic, and the brand has always been a part of my style— I wanted to bring my roots to the carpet and make it LUAR.”
The 2025 Met Gala was held in New York. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrated all things African American styles and culture. This year’s co-chairs included Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams, along with Vogue’s Editor In Chief Anna Wintour.
