Forget the age-old fashion dilemma of choosing between style and comfort. Australian television personalities are proving you can have both, with one local footwear brand becoming a non-negotiable staple behind the scenes of major morning shows.
The Wardrobe Insider's Top Pick
According to Ben Amery, the Head of Wardrobe and Makeup for Channel Seven's Sunrise, there is one label the team consistently relies on for high-stakes glamour. Lana Wilkinson is the brand of choice when presenters need to look polished from head to toe, especially for red carpet events.
"Her range of shoes is always our first port of call for high-octane glamour to complete a red carpet look," Amery explains. The critical factor? Unbeatable comfort. "I'm constantly told by our presenters how comfortable Lana Wilkinson shoes are," he says, emphasising a key style rule: "At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how hot a shoe looks – if you struggle to walk in them it's instantly a bad look!"
Spotted on the Red Carpet
This fusion of function and fashion is why the brand has been embraced by everyday Australian women and celebrities alike. The heels are a frequent sight at major events, often chosen for their wearability during long evenings.
Presenter Katie Brown has been spotted multiple times in Lana Wilkinson designs, favouring classic styles such as peep-toe black stilettos or low block pointed toes for their event-ready appeal.
Must-Have Styles for Your Diary
With a collection designed to flatter, certain styles stand out as wardrobe heroes. A team favourite is The Maddison heel, celebrated for its ability to elongate the leg.
Ben Amery shares his top two selections for the summer season, each serving a different purpose:
- The mixed metal Giuliana sandal – perfect for a fun night out.
- The Martha wedge in blush pink – an ideal choice for a relaxed lunch with friends.
Crafted with the modern woman in mind, Lana Wilkinson heels demonstrate that Australian design can deliver show-stopping style without the pain, making them a secret weapon for television professionals and fashion-forward consumers across the country.
