After years of chunky sole shoes at the forefront of the fashion world, sleek heels are finally making a comeback. And it’s largely thanks to the new Jimmy Choo x Mugler collaboration.
The collection features all the elements of a quintessentially sexy shoe: thin heels, pointed toes, glossy textures, and sensual details like cut-outs and mesh.
Jimmy Choo and Mugler fuses two heritages founded on visions of powerful and glamorous femininity
Add in hypnotic patterns and a healthy dose of crystal embellishments, and you’ve got the formula for the perfect post-pandemic going-out shoe.
Find out all about this year’s standout shoe collaboration below!
A Match Made In Fashion Heaven
Both Mugler and Jimmy Choo are luxury fashion heavyweights famous for their glamorous aesthetics.
At the launch of the Jimmy Choo x Mugler collaboration in February, Megan Fox wore an asymmetrical jersey miniskirt paired with a mesh-panel cutout corset and leather tapered heel mules from the collection ($1,175 at Farfetch) featuring bold metallic wrap-around ankle fastening.

Although the Jimmy Choo woman is more classically feminine with an affinity for pastel colors and bow details and the Mugler woman is more overtly alluring with a penchant for daring cut-outs and edgy textures, the two brands work together beautifully.
Sandra Choi and Casey Cadwallader, the respective creative directors of Jimmy Choo and Mugler, have stated that the collaboration makes sense because both brands are dedicated to uplifting strong and confident women through their designs.

The bold and luxurious styles are ideal for style trailblazers that want to paint the town red with maximalism and cutting-edge femininity.
A Star-Studded Seal Of Approval
The collection has been highly coveted by influencers and celebrities since its February 2022 debut.
The striking spiral over-the-knee boots were spotted on Emma Watson at a pre-BAFTA party, while Megan Thee Stallion recently donned the lavish crystal ball sandals at the Billboard Awards.

We expect to see even more celebrities rocking Jimmy Choo x Mugler sock boots and sandals over the summer.

Their playful strap details make classic pumps way more appropriate for the club than the boardroom.

Possibly the most glamorous sock boot on the planet, this opulent style features a mesh hosiery style ‘sock’ attached to crystal-embellished pumps. These pumps give statement shoes a whole new meaning!
