Jaime King Dares in Sheer Burberry Maternity Look and Glossy Wedge Boots at Griffith Observatory

Back on April 16, 2015, Jaime King turned heads at Burberry’s “London in Los Angeles” event at the Griffith Observatory, embracing her pregnancy glow in a daring sheer look that proudly showcased her baby bump.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley brought her signature polished minimalism to the same event, wearing a printed mini-dress from Burberry’s Fall 2015 Collection and suede sandals, also from the brand.

Jaime King’s Sheer Burberry Moment Meets the Modern Revival of Wedge Boots

At 35, the actress and model stepped out in a fully sheer custom dress from Burberry Prorsum’s Fall collection, layered under a coordinating textured coat and paired with black platform wedge booties and a rich green velvet clutch.

Her choice of wedges taps into a silhouette with real fashion history—first popularized in the late 1930s and ’40s by Salvatore Ferragamo, revived in the platform-heavy 1970s, then embraced again during the Y2K era of the early 2000s before making a strong comeback in the early 2020s.

Seen through that lens, Jaime’s sculptural Burberry wedges feel both nostalgic and forward-looking, adding a modern, fashion-editorial edge to her maternity red-carpet look.

Explaining her bold fashion choice, Jaime told InStyle that it was “really about respecting and loving your body in every form that it takes.”

She added that pregnancy can be a freeing time, style-wise: “The more women understand that, the better. Use the time when you’re pregnant—no matter your shape—to wear something tighter or more sheer because you don’t have to suck in.”

Jaime’s glossy black wedge ankle boots tap into a long-running celebrity favorite on Your Next Shoes, a silhouette seen everywhere from Alessandra Ambrosio’s effortless airport style—built around skinny jeans and sleek concealed-wedge boots to Hilary Duff’s bold daytime look featuring red denim and beige Belle by Sigerson Morrison wedges, and even Claudia Schiffer’s school-run chic in Sergio Rossi’s sculptural “Maori” cutout wedge booties.

Set against those street-style interpretations, Jaime’s architectural pair offers a polished evening spin—bringing leg-lengthening structure and modern edge to her sheer Burberry maternity dress and textured coat.
