At 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) with a US shoe size 10.5, Nicky Hilton has carved out a distinctive presence in fashion that highlights both her tall frame and her bold footwear choices.

Known for mixing luxury staples with statement heels, she often gravitates toward styles that strike a balance between practicality and polish. From wedding celebrations to city shopping trips and even throwback red-carpet moments, her shoe wardrobe shows how central footwear is to her signature look.

Winter Luxe: Moncler Jacket & Prada Shearling Boots

The 38-year-old American businesswoman, socialite, model, and fashion designer was also spotted wearing Moncler’s Bugrane quilted checked wool-twill down jacket.

Jumping back in time, Nicky Hilton has long made bold footwear a signature part of her style.

One standout throwback moment came in 2014, when her neon Valentino Rockstud pumps lit up a film screening—a night that also brought fellow style icon Tilda Swinton into the spotlight.

Throwback Edge: Valentino Rockstud Pumps at a Film Screening

In March 2014, Nicky Hilton perked up the New York screening of Jim Jarmusch’s vampiric romance film, ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’, which stars Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston.

The then-30-year-old socialite was equal parts pretty and sassy in a black leather biker jacket over a printed dress in varying colors of yellow, blue, black, and white from Peter Pilotto for Target.

Her golden locks fell in soft waves around her shoulders, and she carried a monochromatic “Lego” clutch from Chanel. She finished her look with glossy lips, vampy red nails, and a pair of “Rockstud” pumps in neon yellow leather from Valentino.

The ‘Rockstud’ pumps from Valentino feature pointy toes, metal pyramid studs, adjustable ankle straps, self-covered stiletto heels, a T-strap silhouette, and neon yellow patent leather.

Take a cue from Nicky and wear these shoes to add a touch of style to your ensemble.

Tilda Swinton, one of the stars of ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’, looked effortlessly cool as she stepped out for the New York screening of her latest film.

The then-53-year-old British actress was impeccably dressed in a sleek and edgy menswear-inspired look from Haider Ackermann’s Fall 2014 collection.

She wore a dark brown blouse with a long black and navy overcoat and matching trousers. Black suede pumps finished off this simple yet stylish look from Hollywood’s favorite enigma.
