Nicky Hilton attended the 2024 WWD Style Awards held yesterday in Los Angeles. Nicky attended the star-studded occasion with her mother Kathy Hilton.
The fashion designer stepped out in a pair of classic and glitzy slingback pumps. The star’s pick featured jet-black suede uppers accompanied by ultra-sharp pointed toes and thin but sturdy straps that sat around Nicky’s heels, hence the aforementioned slingback construction.
4 to 5-inch stiletto heels rounded out the set, offering Nicky a substantial boost while creating the illusion of length. Nicky’s shoe moment for the red carpet is easily replicable, given the shoe choice is simple and classic. Brands like Christian Louboutin, Gianvito Rossi, Inez, Aquazzura and Saint Laurent all feature comparable styles to the socialite’s own.
Going for high-impact glamour, Nicky wore a minidress hailing from her collaboration with Rebecca Vallance. Retailing for $653, the Alivia style featured a V-neckline and short puff sleeves. The garment also included a fitted empire bodice fixed with a glitzy diamante bow embellishment and diamante trim.
When it comes to shoes, Nicky’s styles are glamorous and chic, with a nod to her Y2K years first in the spotlight. The star often favors pointed-toe and platform pumps in neutral tones by Valentino, Chanel and Dior. Her red carpet looks feature similar styles embellished with bows and crystals by Mach & Mach, Giannico and Rene Caovilla. When it comes to off-duty dressing, Nicky wears sharp flats from her own French Sole line, as well as Adidas sneakers.
Women’s Wear Daily honored the fashion and beauty tastemakers, muses and legends whose creativity, craft and style create magic on the red carpet at the inaugural WWD Style Awards presented Friday in Los Angeles. Honorees included Tracee Ellis Ross, Anna Sawai, Wes Gordon, Kate Young, Chris Appleton, Pati Dubroff, Iván Pol and Jamie Taylor.
