Heidi Klum Masterfully Styles Red Satin Giuseppe Zanotti Mules in NYC

On September 17, 2015, Heidi Klum demonstrated the power of a “pop of color” while attending Macy’s Fashion’s Front Row at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Posing alongside Jason Derulo, the German supermodel masterfully elevated a classic monochrome palette with high-impact footwear.

Klum’s ensemble centered on a black blazer dress paired with a crisp ivory blouse—a timeless combination that served as the perfect backdrop for her accessories.

While her jewelry remained understated, she used her footwear to break the black-and-white theme, opting for a bold pair of red satin sandals.

The highlight of the look was her Giuseppe Zanotti mule sandals. Crafted from lustrous satin, these Italian-made slides feature wide crisscross-paneled vamps, a sleek peep toe, and a striking 5-inch slender heel.

A fan of the Italian shoe designer, the German model also wore Giuseppe Zanotti x Anja Rubik suede open-toe lace-up booties while running errands in New York City.

The choice of red satin against the matte blazer fabric created a sophisticated contrast in texture that remains a go-to styling trick for red-carpet events.

To complete the look, she wore her blonde locks down in loose waves and finished her makeup with red lipstick.
