Victoria Beckham Just Wore the Most Fashion-Person Shoe Trend and I’m Genuinely in Shock
While Victoria Beckham is no stranger to a show-stopping style moment, the anatomy of her outfits don’t often surprise me. So used to seeing her in sky-high stilettos and floor-grazing puddle pants, each new iteration that she debuts—stylish as they may be—no longer catch me off guard. Today, however, I saw the designer out in an item that I never even imagined she would own.
Refreshing a classic outfit formula with an unexpected buy, Beckham swapped her typically tall heels for a pair of kitten heel shoes. Selecting a 2.5″ pair of Alaïa kitten heels for her night out in London, Beckham’s shoe choice was a far more humble alternative to the 5″+ styles I’ve seen the designer wear over and over again. While she might have a penchant for an ultra-tall shoe, as a heavyweight player in the fashion industry, Beckham is no stranger to a new-season It-item, and will always make room in her wardrobe to trial the season’s chicest trends. Trumping tall styles in comfort while offering a sleek silhouette drenched in ’90s energy, this tempting trend has been bubbling up in fashion crowds for some time now. Always one to put her own stamp on a look, Beckham selected a sleek style with a clear PVC exterior, instead of the simple black styles that are dominating shop fronts right now.
At 5’4″ Beckham often gravitates towards the extra height of a tall heel, but this season even she’s found it hard to resist the growing appeal of a sleek pair of kitten heels. Boasting comfort well beyond their high-heel equivalents, and an easy way to dress up your looks for the day-to-day, these shoes have become a mainstay in the wardrobes of fashion editors everywhere.
Completing her outfit with a double-breasted coat, white jeans and a roomy cognac bag slung over her shoulders, Beckham’s chic evening look was aptly comfortable for a night in the city while remaining true to her typically stylish essence.
