Ashley Graham’s Latest Mules Combine Two Shoe Trends

Ashley Graham brought daring style to London Fashion Week as she attended the Perfect x Valentino LFW party on Monday. Other stars were in attendance including Naomi Campbell and Jordyn Woods.

The Sports Illustrated model slipped into a pair of clear Piferi mules, mixing animal print with a clear PVC silhouette — two trending styles.

The see-through style exposed the cheetah print insole at the top of the pointed toe. A silver metallic thong strap sat just behind the vamp, securing her foot to support the height coming from the stiletto heel that was about 4 inches tall.

Graham paired the heels with a black satin bralette that was exposed through the matching sheer Bach Mai gown that had a straight neckline and a center slit, which traveled all the way up and stopped in front of the high-waisted briefs. She layered the piece with a strapless black Pritch leather corset, fastened by a waist belt.

Keeping the focus on the daring ensemble, the model solely accessorized with a sparkling gold ring. She kept her dark brown hair in a sleek style, complimenting her eccentric makeup that decorated the eye with a red and black layered eyeliner look. The unique look was created by hairstylist Mashal Afzalzada and makeup artist Flo Lee. 

Graham was dressed by Emily Evans, who can also be credited for the newspaper minidress and sparkling Amina Muaddi heels she wore to the Clase Azul event earlier this summer. The stylist has also created looks for other stars like Bebe Rexha.

The model has a versatile footwear collection ranging from sleek to sporty styles. For formal occasions, Graham often wears strappy sandals or pointed-toe pumps in vibrant tones and textured patterns. Her shoe closet is filled with styles from luxury labels like Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta and Gianvito Rossi. When off-duty, the model often gravitates toward sturdy sneakers from brands like Vans, Adidas and Air Jordan.
