Thank You, Amal Clooney, for the Intro to This Leg-Lengthening Shoe Brand

Amal Clooney has already schooled us in cocktail attire and outerwear staples, and now she's coming after our shoe collections too. Photographed en route to Columbia Law School in New York City, Clooney wore a chic Michael Kors coat, Emilia Wickstead skirt and Dior bag, but our eyes were transfixed on her cool patent heels. Designed by Vienna-based womenswear brand Petar Petrov, the heels feature an angular cutout to elevate the idea of the classic court shoe for work—not to mention this kind of asymmetric line lengthens legs a treat by drawing the eye down, especially when paired with a demure midi. If you aren't familiar with the designer, now's the perfect time to get acquainted: His lace-up ankle boots, satin dresses, and checked blazers are calling your name. Scroll down to see how Clooney styled her shoes and then shop them for yourself.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
