Nicky Hilton’s Maternity Style: From Aquazzura Heels to Castañer Espadrilles and Chloé Boots

Nicky Hilton’s maternity style stands out as one of her most elegant and memorable fashion chapters—and for good reason.

In May 2022, just weeks before welcoming her third child, the hotel heiress exuded effortless grace at Animal Haven’s Benefit for the Animals in New York City, wearing a romantic floral dress and crystal-embellished Aquazzura heels that perfectly captured her polished, feminine aesthetic.

Hilton welcomed a baby boy in June 2022. Though she kept his name private for nearly two years, she revealed in March 2024 that her son is named Chasen, completing her sweet family of five with husband James Rothschild and their two daughters.

The 38-year-old businesswoman showcased her feminine style at the event, wearing a pink floral-print dress with an embellished bodice and puff sleeves, a cleavage-baring plunging V-neckline, and an asymmetrical skirt in airy chiffon.

Continuing with the girly vibe of her look, James Rothschild’s wife accessorized with large pink floral drop earrings.

She then styled her signature blonde tresses into a partial braid and glammed up with subtle smoky eyeshadow and pink lipstick.

Nicky opted to forgo a necklace and finished her ensemble with Aquazzura’s popular “Tequila” evening sandals, available in metallic blue, pink, and silver at Mytheresa.

Despite her huge, pregnant belly, the expectant mom decided to slip her swollen feet into the nude nappa leather heels from the popular shoe brand, which feature crystal-embellished straps, open toes, and 5-inch heels.

Completing her dog-walking maternity look was a pair of orange-rimmed acetate sunglasses and the popular Castañer “Carina” wedge espadrilles.

Nicky Hilton Revisits Her Edgier Era in Chloé’s Iconic “Susanna” Studded Booties

She opted for a casual but cute look by pairing the booties with a black-and-red buffalo plaid shirt, a dark gray skirt, and a big black leather bag.

There’s something effortlessly cool about pairing edgy, studded booties with a slim skirt or tailored shorts and a soft, cozy top. It’s a mix that strikes the perfect balance—feminine without being fussy, and polished with just the right hint of rebellion.

Few designer boots have achieved the cult status of the Chloé “Susanna.” Once an undeniable street-style staple, this studded ankle boot captured the rebellious yet feminine energy that defined early-2010s fashion. Its mix of Western detailing and Parisian polish helped it transcend seasons and generations of wearers.

Introduced initially as the “Susan” boot in 2008, the style was reissued as the “Susanna” around 2013 to meet massive demand.

Between 2012 and 2016, it became one of fashion’s most photographed “It” shoes, spotted on everyone from models off-duty to Hollywood tastemakers.

Blending floral-patterned studs, triple buckled straps, and a walkable 1.5-inch Cuban heel, the design embodied Chloé’s effortless blend of bohemian ease and rock-chic energy—making it a luxury boot that truly went the distance.
