The spotlight is back on Mark Consuelos, and this time, it’s all about Stuart Weitzman’s spring 2025 men’s campaign. As the luxury brand’s first male global ambassador, Consuelos is front and center in the latest series of seductive black-and-white photographs showcasing the brand’s latest footwear styles and signature minimalist aesthetic. Consuelos’ relationship with Stuart Weitzman dates back to his wife, Kelly Ripa, who has been a longtime fan of the brand. “My relationship with Stuart Weitzman has been one of just passing through my wife’s shoe closet and knowing the name because she wears them,” Consuelos explained in an exclusive interview. However, when Stuart Weitzman approached Consuelos to become the brand’s first male ambassador, he was taken aback. “I was a little bit surprised,” Consuelos said. “I’m like, ‘Wait, they make women’s shoes.’ And then they explained to me quickly that, no, no, they’re going for men’s shoes as well. And they asked if I’d be interested in doing it and I said, ‘Well, look, if it’s good enough for my wife, it’s good enough for me as well.'”
Consuelos’ newfound role as ambassador comes as a result of the brand’s expansion into men’s footwear. The spring 2025 collection includes the Banner sneaker, a suede and leather lace-up shoe referencing the brand’s mixed-material 5050 boot; the Buzz loafer, a streamlined interpretation of a classic smoking slipper crafted with velvet; and the LA Derby, which is a leather derby shoe with a treaded rubber sole and stretch-infused fabric accents taking inspiration from the 5050 boot. Consuelos’ admiration for Stuart Weitzman’s celebration of confidence and fusion of comfort and style is evident throughout the campaign. He expressed his appreciation for the brand’s focus on empowering women, citing his wife and daughter as strong influences in his life. “Their positioning in the market, that they’ve always been strong supporters of women, I am also a big supporter of women,” Consuelos said. “Specifically to the shoes, they’re super-comfortable and they’re — even the boots — super-lightweight, and they didn’t skimp on quality for comfort, and I think they look cool. At the end of the day, for a guy, if we can look cool and be comfortable at the same time, I feel like that, to me, is a good marriage.”
Consuelos’ experience as a husband and father has also shaped his perspective on the brand’s approach to fashion. He praised Stuart Weitzman for its ability to cater to both men and women, citing his own experience with customizing his shoe looks for black-tie events. “If my wife’s wearing her Stuart Weitzmans or a high heel, I’m seeing just above her eye line,” Consuelos explained. “So my input was, ‘Can you add a little bit of a heel to these loafers?’ And they did, and they looked great. It didn’t look awkward at all.”
Consuelos’ role as ambassador comes with a sense of pride and accomplishment, particularly given the brand’s recent expansion into men’s footwear. He reflected on the billboard that launched the fall 2024 campaign, which featured his own image and became a surprise hit. “In my 50s now to have that accomplishment — it put a smile on my face,” Consuelos said. “And my kids, when they saw the billboard, they were like, ‘Oh my God, Dad, really? Really?’ But Kelly was thrilled.”
As the spring 2025 campaign launches, Consuelos is poised to take center stage once again, showcasing the brand’s latest offerings and cementing his status as the first male global ambassador for Stuart Weitzman.
