Whilst Victoria Beckham is no stranger to a showstopping style moment, the anatomy of her outfits doesn'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 it may be—no longer catches me off guard. Today, however, I saw the designer in an item I never even imagined she would own. Refreshing a classic outfit formula with an unexpected addition, Beckham swapped her typically tall heels for a pair of kitten-heels.
Selecting a pair of low Alaïa kitten heels for her night out in London, Beckham's shoe choice was a far more humble alternative to the 5-inch+ heels we've seen her wear countless times. She may well have a penchant for an ultra-tall shoe as a heavyweight player in the fashion industry, but 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 high heels in comfort whilst offering a sleek silhouette drenched in '90s energy, this wearable shoe trend has been bubbling up in fashion crowds for some time now. Always one to put her stamp on a look, Beckham selected a sleek style with a clear PVC exterior and heart design on the toe. A cult item from Alaïa's in-demand selection, the Cœur Leather-Trimmed PVC Pumps (£920) merge the forgotten PVC trend with the fresh kitten-heel silhouette to create a dynamic shoe that fashion people love.
Frequently favoured by Beckham, who has been known to style the brand's shoes regularly, Alaïa's French-inspired take on classic designs has attracted a swarm of celebrity shoppers over the past few seasons. Completing her outfit with a double-breasted coat, white jeans and a roomy cognac bag slung over her shoulder, Beckham's chic evening look was aptly relaxed for a night in the city whilst remaining true to her style DNA.
