Kim Kardashian may be the most famous member of the Kardashian clan, but back in late 2014, her younger half-sister Kendall Jenner was already giving her serious fashion competition.
While Kim was known for flaunting her curves in form-fitting outfits, Kendall embraced a sleek, model-off-duty aesthetic emphasizing her statuesque frame and long legs. Despite often wearing similar pieces, the two sisters showcased very different styles—Kim leaning into sultry glam, and Kendall opting for cool, edgy sophistication.
With two of the biggest shoe collections in the celebrity world, it’s no surprise that the Kardashian-Jenner sisters occasionally swapped styles. When we spotted Kendall in Aquazzura’s “Sexy Thing” sandals in December 2014, it sparked speculation that she may have borrowed them from Kim, who was seen in the same style just a few months earlier in September.
Kim Kardashian’s Chic Australian Moments in Aquazzura Sandals
Kim had paired the eye-catching heels with a cropped white top, a matching JW Anderson fitted skirt, and a Lanvin coat for a lunch date with Kanye West in Australia.

She wore the same heels with an orange fitted dress during the launch of the Kardashian Kollection at Westfield Parramatta.
“It’s been incredible to watch our brand grow over the years and I love seeing how Australian women work our collection into their looks,” she said after the launch. “They have this unique confidence in the way they style our pieces that I really admire.”

Kendall Jenner Puts a Casual Spin on the Same Statement Heels
Conversely, Kendall wore the heels with a casual outfit, including a mixed-plaid flannel sweatshirt and skinny white jeans, on a day out with friends.

Do they have the same shoe size, or did Kendall buy a new pair for herself?

Aquazzura’s “Sexy Thing” Sandals: The Must-Have Celebrity Heel
Unsurprisingly, the young fashionista owned a pair herself—both she and Kim opted for skin-toned Aquazzura sandal booties that flattered their outfits and visually elongated their heights of 5ft 2in (157.5 cm) and 5ft 9¼in (175.9 cm), respectively. The heels featured teardrop cutouts, ankle ties, and metal-plated stiletto heels, making them a go-to statement piece.
Here are two versions of the shoes from the popular footwear brand:
Aquazzura “Sexy Thing” Suede Cutout Sandals, $565
Black Aquazzura “Sexy Thing” Metal Booties, $595
