Elle Fanning left the Carlyle Hotel and headed to one of the Met Gala‘s many after-parties on Monday night in New York City while wearing a pair of clear lucite block heels.
“The Great” actress, most often seen sporting classic footwear silhouettes like pumps, sandals and stilettos, usually gravitates towards shoe styles crafted in neutral tones of cream, black and brown. In January of this year, Fanning was photographed on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet in a pair of ivory pumps. The star’s shoes, designed with a sleek satin textile and pointed-toe silhouette, featured a high arch and an estimated 3-inch stiletto heel.
The 2024 Met Gala celebrated “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in New York City. In addition to Fanning, celebrity guests included Zendaya, Emily Ratajkowski, Gigi Hadid and Lana Del Rey, among others.
About the Shoes
Fanning’s see-through heels featured a thin elasticated front strap and a matching slingback strap around the ankle. Additionally, the shoes were elevated with an estimated 4-inch lucite block heel.
Many stars have been seen donning a pair of clear heels while walking the red carpet, attending high-profile events and strolling the streets of major cities. In March of 2021, Miley Cyrus was photographed running errands in Beverly Hills, Calif. while wearing a sleek pair of boots adorned with an estimated 4-inch lucite block heel. Additionally, the star’s shoes featured a black satin coating and square-toe silhouette.
Clear Heels: An Emerging Designer Trend
From Aquazzura to Amina Muaddi, a number of designers have embraced the “barely-there” footwear trend and integrated clear heels into their most recent collections. Using whimsical silhouettes, sparkling adornments and elevated design details, each brand is able to bring a unique perspective to the see-through look and offer a variety of styles for consumers to choose from.
