Studded heels are officially back. Sixteen years after Valentino’s Rockstud heel first hit the runway in 2010 (designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli), the edgy-chic shoe is reclaiming the spotlight. From Dakota Johnson stepping out in the style at the Valentino Haute Couture show to a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser, the pointed pump with signature hardware is once again everywhere.

The original pair will set you back $1,190, but the sharp, polished statement-making vibe is far more accessible than it looks. We rounded up 14 studded heels from Amazon, Nordstrom and Walmart that channel the same glam energy without the designer price tag, so you can tap into the 2010s revival and still have room left in your budget for a matching bag.

16 Studded Shoes Inspired by Valentino’s Rockstud Heels

1. Kitten Kick: If sky-high stilettos aren’t your thing, this 2.5-inch kitten heel delivers the Rockstud vibe in a far more wearable way. Glossy synthetic leather, a pointed toe and polished studs give it a designer feel, while cushioned insoles and a non-slip sole keep things practical.

2. Leg-Lengthener: Two straps, a sharp pointed toe and a 4-inch heel? Consider your legs officially elongated. This bold pair brings full drama with stud detailing and enough stability to make them surprisingly walkable.

3. Open-Edge Glam: This under-$50 find blends elegance with edge thanks to its sleek open-toe silhouette and glossy stud accents. The structured heel and supportive sole make the 4-inch height feel far less intimidating.

4. Fashionable Flats: Give your achy feet a break by investing in studded flats instead of heels. This two-toned, T-strap pair gives off that enviable Valentino vibe and is made from water-resistant faux leather, making it an ideal choice for work or play.

Ballet flats will always have a place in our closets, but fashion insiders know there’s another shoe design quietly stealing the spotlight. Enter the Mary Jane: a classic footwear style with a modern edge that’s now everywhere, including celebrity closets. One A-lister who loves the trend is Katie Holmes who wears the style in fun […]

5. Patent Power: High-gloss patent leather and metallic buckles give these pointed-toe heels some serious attitude. Available in nude and black, they instantly elevate denim or finish off a cocktail look flawlessly.

6. Square Statement: Not into ankle straps? This easy slide-on style keeps things effortless. The square toe and block heel feel modern, while the subtle stud details add just enough bite for weddings or special events.

7. Leopard Luxe: Leopard print and glossy studs? Say less. This 3.5-inch Mary Jane pump fully commits to the glam aesthetic, with polished hardware highlighting the cap toe and an adjustable strap for a classic silhouette.

8. Sculpted Chic: Sleek, sharp and currently 41% off, this leather slingback feels especially elevated. The sculptural heel and comfort-focused design make it a smart choice if you want edge without sacrificing wearability.

9. Studded Boot Moment: Who says the trend stops at pumps? Naturalizer’s snip-toe booties feature glossy studs and a subtle flare heel for a cool-girl twist. With a side-zip and built-in comfort technology, they’re ideal for everyday styling.

10: Easy Slides: No offense to that clunky suede slip-on you keep by the door, but this pair of slides might be our new favorite fuss-free shoe. They’re a quick way to add some oomph without messing with straps and buckles, and will no doubt remain in your rotation all spring and summer long.

11. Subtle Spark: If you love the stud trend, but would prefer a softer take, grab Arezzo’s suede slingbacks that keep the studs as a trim detail rather than the main event. Asymmetric straps and a pointed toe give it just enough edge without going full statement.

12. Crystal Crush: This pair leans into glamour with crystal-like studs arranged in a floral-inspired design. Memory foam cushioning keeps things comfortable, while the polished finish makes them feel party-ready.

13. Mesh Maven: Breathable mesh meets metallic studs in this modern, peep-toe silhouette. The ankle strap and cushioned insole provide plenty of comfort, making them perfect for pairing with everything from tailored trousers to a night-out mini.

14. Beachy Edge: For a more relaxed spin on the trend, these wooden platform sandals bring height without the wobble. The open-toe design and metallic studs feel summery and bold — ideal for warm-weather events.

15. Classic Comeback: Available in six colors and priced around $30, this 4.25-inch stiletto delivers maximum impact for minimal investment. The two-tone options make them feel especially eye-catching.

16. Block Heel Bold: A sturdy 4.25-inch block heel and square open toe give Soda’s stylish pair confident energy. Studded straps add just the right amount of attitude, striking a balance between edgy and elegant.

Dennis Quaid wasn’t “looking” for romance when he met wife Laura Savoie, but faith ultimately brought the pair together — and God has remained a crucial part of their marriage ever since.

“God is in our relationship. That [had] never even occurred to me before,” Quaid, 71, exclusively shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly while discussing his new film, I Can Only Imagine 2. “I thought, ‘Well, I have a relationship with God, so did she,’ but to have God be the third entity in the relationship is kind of a new idea. But that’s really the way it is.”

The Parent Trap star met Savoie, 32, in Las Vegas and proposed to her in October 2019, tying the knot the following year. Quaid, who was previously married three times before meeting Savoie, explained that the couple’s shared faith is a key part of what helps them maintain a healthy relationship.

“Otherwise you would wind up making the other person,” he explained. “You look to the other person to solve your problems, and we’re not equipped to do that. There’s a lot of things that we have, the baggage coming in [to a relationship], and it’s stuff that you need an expert [to deal with] — and that would be God.” (Quaid was married to P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983, Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2001 and Kimberly Buffington from 2004 to 2018.)

Dennis Quaid has been married to Laura Savoie for five years and couldn’t be happier. Quaid, 71, told Fox News Digital in an interview published on Monday, July 28, that he and Savoie, 32, are doing great. “My life is paradise,” he said. “Every day is paradise with her. It really is.” “It’s the closest […]

While God existing within his marriage is new territory for Quaid, his faith has “always” been with him in both his personal life and professional career. He began his foray into faith-based content with 2011’s Soul Surfer before being cast in 2018’s I Can Only Imagine as Arthur Millard, the real-life abusive father of MercyMe frontman Bart Millard.

It’s a role that Quaid admits he was “uncomfortable” to play, particularly as a father himself. The actor shares son Jack Quaid, 33, with Ryan, 64, and twins Thomas and Zoe, 18, with Buffington, 53.

“The way [Bart’s] father was, no matter the era, even from back then, [was] very abusive, almost criminal,” Quaid explained. “And people who are like that, they were abused themselves as kids as well.”

I Can Only Imagine tells the true story of how Bart wrote the now-famous titular song and formed the Christian band MercyMe in the early 2000s after finding inspiration from his tumultuous and fragmented relationship with his father. Things changed for the pair, however, when Arthur revealed a terminally ill cancer diagnosis, and the twosome explored a path to forgiveness before Arthur’s death.

Quaid returns as Arthur in I Can Only Imagine 2, which hits theaters on Friday, February 20. The actor said it was important to him to “finish the story out the right way,” noting that the second film feels more like a “continuation” than a traditional sequel. The movie also gives audiences a chance to experience some of Bart and Arthur’s happier moments, as well as get a better look at Arthur’s redemption.

“The part of Arthur was very dear to me, and maybe the No. 1 movie that people come up to me in airports and whisper that they really love,” Quaid told Us while praising director Andrew Erwin. “And I just wanted to be a part of it in that sense.”

Quaid felt a certain protectiveness toward Arthur, who he feels was “genuine” in his attempt to repair his relationship with his estranged son. “Rarely do I find that people can actually really fundamentally change,” he explained. “It really takes a lot to do that. And I think that can only happen with God’s help.”

He continued, “It’s hard to ask for something you feel like you don’t deserve, but [Arthur] and Bart, not right away, they developed a relationship that turned out to be sweet in the end. It broke the chain of that abuse. That’s the gift that Arthur was able to give.”

Quaid noted that “the real” Bart was on set during the filming of the movies, an added challenge in having to portray some of the singer’s most traumatic childhood memories.

“You know, he’s watching all these scenes on the monitor in the next room of pretty horrific scenes,” Quaid said, adding that he was thankful to have the musician there. “He was very upfront and honest with me, which I really appreciated.”

Quaid, of course, is no newcomer to portraying real-life figures. He’s played the likes of astronaut Gordon Cooper, rock musician Jerry Lee Lewis and Ronald Reagan in his decades-long career, among many others.

“I actually have a kind of a preference to play real people, real stories. Real stories are pretty fantastic, because if they were fiction, you wouldn’t believe them,” Quaid told Us. “II feel like our responsibility to the person that I’m playing is to play them from their point of view. Nobody thinks of themselves as a villain or really as a hero. It’s just to try to get down to the essence of a person.”

“I know if somebody was playing me in a movie, I’d at least want to have it be my point of view of my life,” he added with a laugh.

Hold on, Roomies! The internet thinks Todd Tucker just tried to get his lick back after Kandi Burruss accused him of living “rent-free” in her guest house. Social media has been on Todd heavy, cracking jokes left and right amid his divorce from Kandi. ‘RHOA’ fans have even brought up the moment Kandi’s Aunt Bertha warned her that “it could’ve been a scheme that Todd set up” in an earlier season. Now Todd seems to be leaning into that whole “scheme” talk and flipping it in his favor — maybe even turning it into a lil’ diss with the soundtrack choice.

Did Todd Tucker Just Come Through With A Lil’ Shade Or Nah?

It looks like Todd Tucker had timeeee for a lil’ clapback. On Friday, February 13, he took a quick break from the daddy-duty content to post some footage of himself cruising in a whip. It’s unclear where he was headed, but social media is convinced he sent a message with his song choice. Todd turned the bass all the way up and blasted Rick Ross’ ‘Stay Schemin.’ At one point, he even looked straight into the camera, rapping along to the lyrics and spitting a few bars himself. Now, did he post that as a response to Kandi’s claims about him living “rent-free” and not contributing to their kids’ expenses? We can’t say for sure. But he did share the video right after Kandi made those accusations.

Social Media Thinks Todd Sent A Message With His Song Choice

Meanwhile, folks over in The Shade Room’s comment section are convinced Todd was sending a message. Some social media users wasted no time dragging him for allegedly still shacking up in Kandi’s guest house, while others said it was the audacity for them.

Instagram user @lavasia_ wrote, “Oh so they never grow up . Got it 😭” 

Instagram user @slaywithdre wrote, “.. Auntie said it was , a scheme that Todd set up ! & She was right.” 

While Instagram user @_heyyy.orie wrote, “And its still get out that lady house 😂😂😂” 

Then Instagram user @bigmomma____36 wrote, “So moral of the story listen to ya momma she knows best 😂” 

Another Instagram user @troquellj wrote, “I didn’t smile or laugh not once 🥴” 

Instagram user @everythangniice wrote, “I know Mama Joyce feels validated lol.” 

While another Instagram user @yea_its_tt wrote, “The way he’d be driving around ATL seeing homeless people with his stuff on.” 

Finally, Instagram user @mrs.locks wrote, “I hope he riding around apartment hunting.” 

Kandi Drags Todd For Shacking Up & Dodging Bills

All eyes have been on Todd ever since Kandi dropped claims in new court docs that he’s been living rent-free in her guest house. The former ‘RHOA’ star alleges that her estranged husband has been staying there ever since their split in November 2025. She pointed out that the property is hers and was purchased before they tied the knot, but claims Todd hasn’t coughed up a single cent for the home’s upkeep.

On top of that, she accused him of skipping out on supporting their kids. Kandi says she’s been handling most of the expenses for their son, Ace, and daughter, Blaze. She added that Todd acts like an “active dad” on the internet, but hasn’t helped cover their tuition, school supplies, or child support.

Earlier this week, Rajel Nelson checked Victoria Woods for airing family drama online in a video shared by Live Bitez on social media. During the clip, Rajel shared that Victoria should humble herself, adding that God doesn’t “bless mess.” However, by Friday, Rajel stepped back and addressed the situation in the Live Bitez comment section, writing, “Y’all it’s over I reacted out of anger on live and spoke on things that weren’t my place to speak on. I’m human, I felt protective, but I take accountability. He apologized and I apologize for that,” along with a white heart emoji. And of course, you already know the internet is talking.

The Dana Carvey Show is a fascinating watch because it was fearlessly ahead of its time, but it’s also so topical that it can really only function as a relic of the past. When it debuted in 1996, it was considered so unhinged and unwholesome that it couldn’t even finish its one-season run before getting pulled from ABC, airing only eight of its planned 10 episodes. Looking back at it today, it plays like pretty standard fare. It’s offensive and edgy, but in that “I can’t believe they got away with this in the 90s” kind of way.

Let me explain. The Dana Carvey Show aired on Thursday nights at 9:30 pm, right after one of the greatest family sitcoms of all time, Home Improvement. Sponsors weren’t comfortable kicking things off with a Mature Audiences disclaimer because they worried it would alienate viewers.

What they didn’t anticipate was that the first sketch of the premiere episode, depicting Bill Clinton breastfeeding a baby doll and several barnyard animals with a chest full of prosthetic nipples, would do all the heavy lifting in scaring away potential audiences and sponsors. Mission accomplished.

Edgy 90s Liberal Boomer Funny, Not Haha Funny

Like most sketch shows that lean hard into topical humor, The Dana Carvey Show lives and dies by the news cycle. Carvey delivers his takes on Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Jay Leno, H. Ross Perot, and a long list of political and celebrity figures. It’s funny in the moment if you’re actively living through the news cycle it’s roasting, but it’s also the kind of humor that doesn’t have much staying power. Tuning into The Dana Carvey Show in 2026 specifically for those sketches can feel underwhelming because topical humor rarely transcends generations the way more evergreen material does.

South Park’s most recent seasons fell into this trap as well, pulling in huge viewership numbers for headline-driven episodes that are met with mixed reviews later. It’s not that the jokes aren’t funny, they just don’t always age gracefully because the context of its humor evaporates over time.

The Dana Carvey Show truly shines when it leans into its more absurd and surreal instincts. Sketches like “Grandma the Clown,” “Waiters Who Are Nauseated by Food,” “Skinheads from Maine,” and “11 O’Clock News That’s Easy to Take” still work because they stand on their own. There’s no need to lampoon whatever dominated the headlines that week in these bits, which is why the comedy still lands decades later. There’s material coming out today with similar sensibilities, and these sketches feel right at home alongside it.

My personal favorite recurring sketch involves two painfully stupid pranksters, portrayed by Dana Carvey and Steve Carell. The pranksters roll up to a drive-thru or a movie ticket counter, pay for a good or service while trying not to laugh, then sprint away giggling like lunatics as if they just pulled off the heist of the century.

As the episodes progress, the bits escalate, culminating in the duo paying a prostitute $300 for a threesome, only to bolt from the room cackling and congratulating themselves for being comedy geniuses. It’s juvenile and ridiculous, but that’s what makes it so funny. It’s two grown men playing a modified version of ding dong ditch and having the time of their lives, and that’s all it ever needs to be.

Sponsors And Time Slot Were The Show’s Undoing

Had The Dana Carvey Show aired at 11:00 pm on a Friday night instead of closing out ABC’s Thursday primetime lineup, its fate might have been very different. Each episode blatantly named its corporate sponsor, as in The Mountain Dew Dana Carvey Show, which made advertisers understandably nervous given the show’s willingness to push buttons. PepsiCo, Inc. sponsored the first five episodes, but its restaurant affiliates, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, were immediately turned off by the series premiere’s opening sketch, reportedly pulling out of a deal that would have brought in roughly $600,000 per episode.

The Dana Carvey Show felt doomed from day one, but I’m glad it still exists on streaming. It helped put Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert on the map, and it introduced Robert Smigel’s Ambiguously Gay Duo, which would later find a permanent home on SNL as a recurring animated segment. For a show that barely survived eight episodes, its comedy tree has surprisingly deep roots.

While I’m usually turned off by hyper-topical humor, I’d still recommend The Dana Carvey Show to any sketch comedy fan with the patience to wait for the truly timeless bits sprinkled throughout its run. And if you’re curious about the chaos behind the scenes, 2017’s Too Funny to Fail is essential viewing. Everybody involved with The Dana Carvey Show speaks fondly about what went into its production, how the sponsors reacted, and how ABC ended up airing The Diet Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show immediately after a heartwarming Home Improvement episode in which Randy faces a cancer scare. It’s one of those rare instances where the humor surrounding a series’ controversies is more memorable than the show itself.

The Dana Carvey Show is currently streaming for free on Tubi.
