Beyonce is seen modeling the fierce footwear, looking gothicaly wonderful. I'm pretty much in love with the [spiky studs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog) these boots highlight on their heel, but I would have to say that my favorite part of these Ruthie Davis booties are their [glitterized heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski). The heel shows off some [gilded glamor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veneda-carter-4) with a little bit of sparkle to make these hardcore booties a bit more feminine, which is exactly what every girl needs. Mostly, however, these Ruthie Davis booties will make a girl feel tough and sultry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Studded Platform Pumps:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry by incorporating spiky studs on platform pumps. - **Gothic Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by designing goth-inspired clothing and accessories. - **Glitterized Heels:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the shoe industry by introducing glitterized heels for a feminine touch on hardcore booties. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry through the creation of unique and stylish platform pumps with spiky studs. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by exploring gothic aesthetics and offering goth-inspired clothing and accessories. - **Shoe:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the shoe industry by incorporating glitterized heels to add a touch of femininity to hardcore booties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Elevated Industrial Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-owens-x-dr-martens.md) - [Romantic Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-street-6inch-platform-waterproof-boot.md) - [Over-The-Knee Plush Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-heights-platform-xtra.md) - [Edgy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot.md) - [Metallic-Adorned Rugged Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veneda-carter-4.md) - [Gothic Style Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog.md)
