To amp up her look, the “Moesha” star accessorized with chunky gold earrings. As for makeup, Ralph went with sharp eyeliner and a bold red lip.
Giving her wardrobe a boost, Ralph slipped into a set of peep-toe platform sandals. The silhouette had a small open-toe, a chunky outsole and a thin ankle strap.
The platform shoe trend is one of the easiest styles to incorporate into any wardrobe. Post-pandemic, platform shoes have emerged as one of the most popular footwear styles. The dramatic heel easily adds flair to any outfit.
