Most celebrity style coverage focuses on the clothes. This week of Heidi Klum outfits shows why the shoes often matter more.

Across seven appearances at America's Got Talent studios in Los Angeles, Klum rotated between turquoise Christian Louboutin pumps, white Gianvito Rossi heels, Jimmy Choo snakeskin mules, K.Jacques sandals, Hogan sneakers, and classic black pumps.

The fascinating part isn't the brands—it's how each pair completely changed the mood of the outfit. The same person, similar silhouettes, and similar setting produced seven entirely different style stories.

We broke down every shoe and why it worked:

Which pair is your favorite?

One of the most interesting details of Heidi Klum's 2019 Golden Globes after-party outfit wasn't her engagement ring—it was the Giuseppe Zanotti "Alina Bow" sandals peeking out beneath her Paolo Sebastian gown.

The oversized satin bow transformed an otherwise minimalist ankle-strap sandal into a statement piece, and the design still feels relevant years later as bow details continue appearing across luxury footwear collections.

We take a closer look at the shoes, the dress, the Saint Laurent and Giuseppe Zanotti connection throughout Heidi's wardrobe, and why bows remain one of fashion's most enduring embellishments.

Jennifer Lopez's sheer red Donna Karan gown at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards remains one of the most memorable red-carpet looks of the decade. But the shoes deserve their own spotlight.

Paired with the gown's flowing cape panels and dramatic thigh-high slits, Jimmy Choo's "Maury" sandals combined crimson velvet and metallic gold leather in an intricate cage design that echoed the movement and drama of the dress without competing with it.

We also look at how Naomie Harris and Elizabeth Banks helped turn the Maury into one of Jimmy Choo's defining red-carpet sandals of the era.

There was a time when Sigerson Morrison and Belle by Sigerson Morrison boots were everywhere. Celebrities like Hilary Duff, Kourtney Kardashian, Kelly Ripa, and Naomie Harris wore the brand's understated, fashion-insider footwear long before social media turned every shoe into a trend.

But after being acquired, losing its founders, enduring lawsuits, and eventually disappearing from retail, the once-beloved label quietly faded from the fashion landscape.

We traced the full story—from the brand's founding philosophy to its final store closure—and revisited some of the celebrity looks that helped make Sigerson Morrison a cult favorite.

The 2026 Tony Awards delivered two completely different approaches to red-carpet footwear. Sarah Paulson leaned into romance with crystal-covered Aquazzura "Tequila" sandals paired with an Erdem gown full of bows, embroidery, and sparkle. Julianne Hough went the opposite direction, grounding her sculptural white Tom Ford dress with sleek black Saint Laurent "Manon" pumps featuring a subtle crystal buckle.

We broke down both looks, the shoes, and why each worked so well.

Lily Collins and Miranda Kerr arrived at the 2026 French Open with two completely different takes on courtside dressing.

Collins leaned into minimalist elegance with black Jimmy Choo "Skye" mules, a monochrome halter set, and a Hermès Birkin. Kerr took a more relaxed route, pairing jeans and a blue Celine halter top with Louis Vuitton's sculptural "Blossom" sandals featuring the brand's signature Monogram Flower heel.

The contrast isn't just black versus blue or shorts versus denim. It's two different philosophies of luxury footwear: understated refinement versus statement-making design.

Which pair would you wear?

Few shoes captured the spirit of mid-2010s fashion quite like Christian Louboutin’s “Pumpstagram” pumps.

During Paris Fashion Week in October 2015, Miranda Kerr styled the white-and-orange version with a striking red pleated skirt, a sculptural Jonathan Simkhai top, and geometric Miu Miu sunglasses. The result was a perfect snapshot of an era when luxury fashion embraced bold color, athletic-inspired details, and Instagram-ready design.

Our latest deep dive explores the story behind one of Christian Louboutin's most recognizable statement heels, how Taylor Swift helped launch the style into the spotlight, and why collectors still seek out surviving pairs today.

The amfAR Gala New York wasn't short on dramatic gowns, but one of the night's most interesting shoe moments came from Halsey's towering Jimmy Choo Max platform sandals.

With a 150mm heel, substantial platform, and sleek ankle strap, the Max became one of the defining evening sandals of the late 2010s. The same design later appeared on stars including Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Baldwin, Jenna Ortega, and Zoe Saldaña.

We also take a closer look at Heidi Klum's minimalist Neil J. Rodgers Stella sandals and Olivia Culpo's Gianvito Rossi Portofinos—two styles that prove understated footwear can be just as influential as statement heels.

At the 2017 InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globes after-party, Jenna Dewan paired a sequined Julien Macdonald gown with a surprisingly restrained footwear choice: Neil J. Rodgers' minimalist "Brooke" sandals.

The story isn't just about one outfit. The same barely-there silhouette also appeared on Adriana Lima and Lupita Nyong'o, offering a fascinating look at how stylists used understated sandals to support, rather than compete with, statement gowns.

We take a closer look at the dress, the shoes, the designer behind them, and why this minimalist approach became a red-carpet favorite.

When people remember the Hobbs & Shaw red carpets, they usually think about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's sheer Atelier Versace gown or Vanessa Kirby's crystal-covered Ralph & Russo dress.

But looking back at the photos, there's another story running through both the Hollywood and London premieres: silver metallic heels.

Rosie's custom Giuseppe Zanotti sandals echoed the crystal trim of her Versace gown, while Vanessa Kirby's Jimmy Choo "Dochas" sandals added a sleek metallic finish to her Ralph & Russo look in London. Even among dramatic gowns and celebrity couples, the shoes played a crucial role in tying each outfit together.

We broke down the fashion, footwear, and styling details from the Hobbs & Shaw promotional tour:

Which look aged best: Rosie's Versace and Zanotti combination or Vanessa's Ralph & Russo and Jimmy Choo pairing?

At first glance, Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian looked perfectly coordinated at the Monaco Grand Prix in elegant cream-toned dresses and oversized sunglasses. But a closer look reveals two completely different styling philosophies.

Kim grounded her draped Gucci look with sharp black Horsebit pumps that added contrast and structure. Khloé took the opposite approach, opting for barely-there Gianvito Rossi PVC mules that virtually disappeared into her silhouette.

The result is a fascinating celebrity style study: one sister used shoes to create visual tension, while the other used them to create the illusion of longer legs.

From airport slides and leopard-print flats to Chanel oxfords, Chloé wedges, Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, and Brian Atwood heels, Hilary Duff's 2016 wardrobe wasn't built around trends—it was built around real life.

What makes this collection fascinating is how many of these silhouettes still feel relevant today. The shoes changed depending on the occasion, but the formula stayed the same: comfort first, personality second, trends last.

We broke down 10 of her most memorable footwear moments from Los Angeles errands to New York promo appearances and examined why so many of these styles have stood the test of time.

Which pair would you still wear today?

Back in her Younger era, Hilary Duff understood a styling rule that still works today: when the dress is understated, the shoes can do all the talking.

For an AOL Build Series appearance in New York, she paired a blush one-sleeve mini dress with Gucci’s towering "Angel" platform pumps from Alessandro Michele’s maximalist era. The contrast was what made the outfit memorable—a clean, minimalist silhouette elevated by one of Gucci’s most dramatic shoe designs.

The result felt glamorous, nostalgic, and unmistakably Michele-era Gucci.

Katie Holmes has worn everything from vintage-inspired thong sandals to minimalist pumps, but her Chloé "Cleia" heels at the Happy Hours premiere may be one of her most interesting shoe choices yet.

Instead of treating studded pumps as the focal point, she used them to create contrast. The glossy black patent leather and gold-tone cabochons added structure and edge, while her blush silk Chloé gown remained soft, fluid, and vintage-inspired.

It's a reminder that the most successful shoe moments often come from tension rather than coordination.

We break down the Chloé pumps, the silk gown, and why studded heels keep returning to red carpets year after year:

At the 2016 People's Choice Awards, Vanessa Hudgens wore one of the decade's most dramatic metallic gowns. But the real styling lesson may have been on her feet.

Instead of adding more sparkle or statement details, she chose Stuart Weitzman's minimalist "Myex" sandals—a barely-there design that let the dress remain the focal point while still creating a cohesive look.

The result is a useful reminder that successful red-carpet styling isn't always about the most eye-catching shoe. Sometimes it's about knowing when to step back.

Before Coachella became a global fashion phenomenon, Vanessa Hudgens was already helping popularize one of the decade's most recognizable footwear trends: tall fringe boots.

This look from December 2010 captures a moment when bohemian style dominated celebrity street fashion. Her chestnut suede Kettle Black fringe boots added movement and texture to an otherwise casual outfit, showing why fringe became such a staple of the era.

The article also explores the history of fringe boots, from their 1970s heyday to their latest resurgence in 2025 and 2026.

A 2016 grocery run might not sound like a fashion moment, but Vanessa Hudgens' choice of nude suede Raye "Sara" toe-ring sandals looks surprisingly current today.

Long before the latest wave of minimalist summer footwear, she paired the understated flats with a striped L'Academie shirt dress, layered Jacquie Aiche jewelry, mirrored Quay sunglasses, and a Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

The look is a reminder that some shoe trends never truly disappear—they simply return in new forms.

Ashley Tisdale was never a Louis Vuitton ambassador, but few celebrities returned to the brand's boots as consistently during the late 2010s.

This story looks at two of her most memorable Louis Vuitton footwear moments: the metallic Star Trail ankle boots she wore to the Snatched premiere and the oversized Fighter platform boots she paired with a Kate Spade dress at Olay's DUO launch.

What makes this fashion history interesting isn't just the shoes themselves. It's how Tisdale used two dramatically different Louis Vuitton boot designs to create completely different moods—one edgy and rocker-inspired, the other playful and feminine.

For more than two decades, Proenza Schouler has helped shape contemporary footwear through sculptural sandals, square-toe silhouettes, mesh heels, modern ballet flats, and chunky lug-sole boots.

Our latest guide explores how the New York label evolved from a Parsons thesis project into one of fashion's most influential accessory brands. We break down sizing, pricing, Rachel Scott's new creative direction, the iconic Birkenstock partnership, and the shoes that continue to influence today's luxury market.

Olivia Palermo arrived at the RED 2 premiere in a simple white Alexander Wang dress. Yet more than a decade later, it's the shoes that still stand out.

Instead of relying on embellishment or a dramatic silhouette, Palermo built the entire look around a pair of embroidered Christian Louboutin sandals covered in colorful tassels and geometric details. She then echoed those colors in a statement necklace, creating one of the clearest examples of how footwear can become the focal point of an outfit.

The result is a styling lesson that still feels relevant today: when the shoes are strong enough, everything else can stay simple.
