Latto Pulls Versace’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’-Era Cutout Platform Boots From the Archives in Atlanta

Latto built her Atlanta performance look from the calf down.

On Saturday, the rapper took the stage at the YFN Lucci & Friends Welcome Home Concert in Versace’s Spring 2010 “Wonderland” boots. The pair, first shown during Donatella Versace’s “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired season, made their return in black and white leather.

The boots stacked black-and-white leather into a rigid grid, wrapping tight around the calf in a pattern that mimicked cutouts without ever opening the shaft. A towering stiletto set over a thick platform carried the base, trimmed in glossy black with a cutout moment with cream straps across the toes and a silver plate at the front — proportions built more like stage armor than sandal.

As WWD’s review of the show at the time, the Versace collection was “a little ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and a whole lot of classic Versace. The combination made for a terrific spring romp… exciting, and tons of fun… while staying au courant and without turning a touch vulgar.” The boots underscored that tension — maximal in scale, precise in build — which is why they still hit on a 2025 stage.

Latto styled them with a black strapless mini dress cut high at the thigh and notched at the bust. Jewelry stacked across her neckline and wrists, her hair pulled into a ponytail. A glittered clutch and a pink Hello Kitty purse finished the look — a switch from the Labubu figurines that have become the year’s default playful carry.

The calf line tied directly back to Wimbledon in July, when she wore Chanel’s ruched Guêtre gaiters over white flip-flops. Latto has kept her focus there all year, breaking up silhouettes at the lower leg. In Atlanta, the Versace boots kept the calf covered — just higher, sharper and heavier.

The YFN Lucci & Friends Welcome Home Concert marked the Atlanta rapper’s first major show since his January prison release, drawing surprise sets from Boosie, Rick Ross, Latto, Quavo, Trey Songz and more.
