Los Gatos fancy footwear designer Flor de Maria Rivera continues to add to the list of celebrities who’ve rocked items from her eponymous line on key runways and at massive social engagements.
And we’re talking la crème de la crème: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Camila Cabello, Rita Ora and Carrie Underwood have all been spotted wearing the luxury shoes over just the past few months.
One of the most noteworthy splashes occurred when Mariah Carey opted for crystal-embellished shoes for her residency at the Dolby Theater at MGM Hotels.
Flor de Maria is no stranger in New York or LA, but she is proud to call Los Gatos home.
Her unique designs unabashedly exude femininity.
‘This moment is so special and brought back so many wonderful memories’

Each pair of shoes is handcrafted and features intricate embellishments, making them the perfect choice for bold fashion statements, the Latina business owner says.
“I am beyond thrilled that Mariah Carey chose to wear Flor de Maria shoes for her Las Vegas residency,” Rivera said in a release. “She embodies the essence of elegance and strength, and I believe our designs perfectly complement her artistry. It is an honor to see my creations worn by such an iconic performer.”
Singer Rita Ora wore Flor de Maria’s Black Berta platform heels to Disney’s post-Emmys celebration on Sept. 15 in Los Angeles.
And on Oct. 3, Carrie Underwood donned Flor de Maria’s Flocci pumps for an American Idol promo.
“As a both Carrie fan and American Idol fan, this moment is so special and brought back so many wonderful memories,” Rivera said on Instagram. “Four years ago, Carrie Underwood wore our CARRIE sandals at the Country Music Awards when our brand was just starting out, and that moment is something I will cherish forever. In fact when I found out she wore my shoes again, that’s that very memory that came to mind.
“What a beautiful full circle moment as we celebrate five amazing years this month.”
