Mark Consuelos is here, and he’s bringing his six-pack along for the ride! The 53-year-old actor, talk show host, and general heartthrob is making history (and breaking necks) as Stuart Weitzman’s first-ever Men’s Global Ambassador. Yes, you read that right. Stuart Weitzman is officially in the business of boots and biceps.
In a campaign so steamy it might melt your Wi-Fi, Mark posed shirtless while modeling the brand’s latest men’s styles, including the Aiden Boot—described as a “Chelsea boot-inspired design with a stretch-infused shaft and lightweight lug sole.” Let’s be real, though, nobody is looking at the lug sole.
Then there’s the Adam Boot, a “lace-up boot with, you guessed it, a stretch-infused shaft and lightweight lug sole.” At this point, we’re starting to think the real stretch here is how Mark managed to make shoes look this scandalously good.
Mark himself is just as jazzed about the gig as the rest of us are about the photos. “I’m thrilled to be named Stuart Weitzman’s first-ever Men’s global ambassador,” he gushed, adding that he already knew the brand thanks to his wife Kelly Ripa’s stash of iconic blue shoeboxes. (Relatable husband alert!)
“When I heard the campaign’s theme of strong, sophisticated, and sexy, I thought, ‘Well, I’ve been working out for 53 years for this moment.’” Kelly, always the supportive (and hilarious) partner, cheered him on. “She told me to go for it and finally justify my hours at the gym,” he quipped. Who needs a home gym when your job is literally just looking hot in boots?
Unsurprisingly, this campaign became prime material on Live With Kelly and Mark. Kelly couldn’t help but crack jokes about her husband’s new venture. “Believe it or not, this man is selling shoes. SHOES. I was like, ‘Wait… are there even shoes in this photo?’” she teased, likely echoing what we’re all thinking while staring at those campaign pics.
To top it off, Kelly revealed she snagged an unreleased campaign image for her phone’s lock screen. “It’s my phone wallpaper now. It’s art!” she declared. And honestly? She’s right. Forget the Louvre; just hang this campaign in a gallery.
Mark Consuelos isn’t just selling shoes—he’s selling the dream that maybe, just maybe, your footwear can come with abs as an accessory. Good luck to every other Men’s Global Ambassador from now on. They’ve got very big boots (and biceps) to fill.
