To complement the look, she wore her hair in a vintage ponytail with curtain bangs at the center to make way for the dress to shine bright.

On her feet, she strapped on a pair of white stiletto pumps, elevating her look by at least 5 inches. The white stiletto pump has become a timeless fashion trend, symbolizing elegance and sophistication. Its history traces back to the 1950s when designer Roger Vivier popularized the slender high-heel silhouette. In the following decades, icons like Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana further propelled its allure. Today, white stiletto pumps remain a coveted choice for formal events, red carpets, and bridal wear, symbolizing glamour and a timeless sense of style.
