On February 27, 2016, Kylie Jenner attended the launch of her Signature SinfulColors nail polish collection in Los Angeles.
While the event marked a significant step in her early beauty career, the appearance remains a notable example of her ability to blend conservative evening wear with contemporary, “naked” shoe trends.

“I feel like nails are very important to me,” Jenner said regarding the collaboration, which included shades like Kryptonite, Kovet, and Kreme de la Kreme. “It’s definitely another way of self-expression. I think it adds something to your style.”
The look centered on a Georgine Spring 2016 gown, its sleek, floor-length silhouette punctuated by a daring thigh-high slit. She offset the refined elegance with Gianvito Rossi suede slingback pumps featuring signature transparent panels, subtly elongating the legs while maintaining a barely-there finish.

These stilettos, known as the “Anise” pumps, are distinctive for their use of clear PVC paneling along the sides.

This “Plexi” detail is a signature of Gianvito Rossi, designed to create a floating illusion while providing the structure of a standard pump. They also feature a delicate buckle-fastening strap and a sharp, pointed toe.
