Michael Kors F/W 2024: 7 Best Celebrity Shoe Moments from Katie Holmes to Blake Lively

On February 13, 2024, American designer Michael Kors returned to the site of the original Barneys New York in Chelsea to debut his Fall/Winter 2024 collection.

The landmark Seventh Avenue space served as a backdrop for a collection that leaned heavily into personal style—a theme mirrored by the guests seated along the front row.

While the runway featured a blend of 1930s-inspired tailoring and 1990s minimalism, the attendees’ footwear and styling choices offered a more immediate look at how these pieces translate to the street. From Blake Lively’s choice of knee-high leather boots to Katie Holmes’ play on sheer lace and oversized blazers, the event showcased a variety of approaches to transitional dressing.

The guest list included longtime brand supporters like Rachel Brosnahan, Abigail Spencer, and Nina Dobrev, alongside Kathryn Newton and Rachel Zegler. Below, we look at the most notable styling details and shoe choices from the morning.

Katie Holmes Reworks Sheer Lace with White Heels and an Oversized Blazer

A dramatic departure from her typically minimalist, carefree aesthetic, Katie Holmes showcased her edgy, sensual sense of style in a see-through floral lace ensemble, which she covered with an oversized blazer, all from Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer 2024.

Proving she still has it, the American actress boldly showed off her black lace bra and flat abs in the $890 stretchy Chantilly lace bodysuit, with a high neckline, long sleeves, and high-cut sides that fit her form flawlessly.

The striking number was neatly tucked into the matching $2,690 tiered Chantilly lace maxi skirt with a high waist, an A-line silhouette, and a lovely, scalloped hem. It showed a glimpse of her toned legs and black high-waisted underwear that somehow covered her modesty.

Katie layered the daring see-through pieces beneath a $2,290 boxy, oversized single-breasted blazer with peaked lapels and undone buttons, confidently showing off her assets.

Although black accessories would have made for a sleeker finish, Holmes balanced the look with a $1,550 white Michael Kors “Tina” small leather minaudière featuring a sculptural stone-shaped top closure.

It matched her white open-toe heels, which she wore with black pantyhose.

Adding a dash of sparkle to her monochrome look, Katie fastened a pair of $1,500 Modern Moghul “Tanika” earrings to her ears with 3.9-carat diamonds set in rhodium-plated sterling silver and lined with gold vermeil.

She also added a single Ashaha Mono Candice yellow diamond earring and adorned her fingers with several rings from the same luxury jewelry brand. These include the Alliance Shiraz rainbow 14k yellow-gold ring with sapphire and diamonds, the Dihya ring in yellow gold with 1.80 carat diamonds, and the Mia yellow-gold ring with 0.2 carat diamonds.

Holmes’ tousled beachy waves and red lipstick rounded out her stunning glam.

Blake Lively Elevates Animal Print with Knee-High Leather Boots

Blake Lively, known for her effortless yet ultra-feminine and elegant sartorial choices, walked on the savannah in a giraffe-printed ensemble for her front-row attendance at Michael Kors’ F/W 2024 fashion show.

Her eccentric monochromatic brown ensemble, an exciting spin on winter neutrals, included a luxurious calfskin giraffe coat with a collar, tonal buckled belt, and a matching miniskirt that grazed her toned thighs, making a dramatic style statement.

The American actress stayed warm by wearing her striking animal-printed co-ords over a $595 Michael Kors Hutton featherweight ribbed cashmere sweater.

Her brown shoulder bag with gold hoops went well with her outfit, as did her sheer brown tights and leather knee-high boots. These staple boots feature trendy square toes and thick high heels, elevating Lively’s statuesque frame.

The remainder of Lively’s ensemble was kept cohesive. Matching her outfit was a set of oversized hoop earrings covered in glistening gems. She added a variety of large, eye-catching rings to her well-manicured brown hands.

Her gorgeous front-row appearance was topped off with soft bronze makeup and luscious blonde curls that cascaded over one shoulder.

Rachel Brosnahan Sharpens Noir Styling with Gianvito Rossi Ankle Boots

At Michael Kors’ Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show during New York Fashion Week on Tuesday, Rachel Brosnahan opted for edgy noir, a far cry from the ultra-feminine, modest vintage dresses she wore on the set of the 1950s-set comedy series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Exuding undeniable confidence, the actress showcased her flat abs and toned legs in a three-piece ensemble from Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

She braved the winter chill in a gothic-vampy look that included a $750 black crepe bandeau top with spaghetti straps and an $850 low-waisted crepe mini skirt with a dangerously high slit almost reaching her crotch.

To stay warm, Rachel paired her tiny ensemble with a $2,190 double-breasted boxy jacket with peaked lapels and a cutoff silhouette.

Brosnahan coordinated her accessories for a polished look. She draped the $595 Michael Kors “Marisa” ring belt around her hips, giving the gothic look an intriguing bohemian touch. It featured polished gold-tone rings anchored by supple leather links, the same feature seen on her black shoulder bag.

Parading her bare legs, Brosnahan paired her outfit with black Gianvito Rossi ankle boots. The $1,295 Nappa leather “Freeda” boots have fashionable square toes, 3.7-inch chunky heels that enhance Rachel’s 5’3″ height, and the iconic gold-tone tiny ribbon of the Italian luxury shoe brand.

Her bold look was expertly coordinated with a $1,250 Anita Ko “Cosmo” 18k yellow gold ear cuff, Yvonne Leon’s Chevalière Ovale onyx signet ring, and a chain choker necklace.

She wore her brunette hair in wet-look waves with a deep side part and glammed up with smoky eyeshadow for a sleek finish.

Gabrielle Union Breaks Winter Neutrals with White Lace and Black Mules

Gabrielle Union stood out in white among the sea of black ensembles, offering serious style inspiration for the upcoming season.

She defied the winter cold by dressing in an all-white, flowery lace ensemble from Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Her button-down collared shirt with a scalloped hem showed off her toned abs, while her matching miniskirt with three-dimensional floral appliques skimmed her thighs.

Union wore a coordinating white lace coat with a nude lining over her springtime white outfit inside the venue.

Gabrielle maintained a cohesive style by carrying a white purse with a white-and-gold chain strap and accessorizing with Tiffany & Co. diamond-and-gold rings and bangles.

Union highlighted her red pedicure with contrasting black peep-toe mules rather than white heels to finish a head-to-toe white ensemble.

Her tresses were styled straight by Ursula Stephen, while her striking features were enhanced with smoky eyeshadow, nude blush, and lipstick by Renny Vasquez.

Nina Dobrev Balances Romantic Lace with Over-the-Knee Leather Boots

Always looking put together, The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev wore a sleeveless black mini dress with glittery 3D floral appliques and a romantic laser cut flower motif that showed a glimpse of her flesh.

Nina’s thigh-grazing minidress would have been perfect for parading her toned legs, but she paired it with over-the-knee boots that barely showed off her pins.

Nina stayed warm with an oversized blazer draped over her arms. She was styled by Kate Young, who completed her look with chunky bangles, a gold and onyx ring, and matching $295 hoop earrings from Monica Vinader and Kate Young’s collaborative collection.

Ryan Trygstad beautifully pulled Nina’s brunette hair up into a bridal flower bun with long bangs skimming her eyes. Hung Vanggo, meanwhile, finished off her seductive look with Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty lipstick and lip liner in the shade Humble, along with mascara and winged eyeliner.

Adding a fashion-forward edge to her feminine look, Nina wore the $1,295 “Elle” over-the-knee boots from Michael Kors’ Fall/Winter 2022 collection. They are crafted in Italy from supple leather with pointed toes and 4-inch stiletto heels to create an illusion of longer legs.

Kathryn Newton Goes Full Metallic with Python-Embossed Silver Sandals

Lisa Frankenstein lead star Kathryn Newton was a sight to behold, dressed in a light gray sweater and silver miniskirt from Michael Kors.

She wore the “Joan” turtleneck knit sweater ($790) with a soft cashmere construction, ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed hem perfectly tucked into a metallic silver leather miniskirt.

Showcasing her toned legs, Kathryn wore a floral cutout mini skirt ($3,990) with a banded waist, a back zip closure, and a scalloped hem cut several inches above her knees.

Letting the gray and silver look take center stage, Kathryn went for minimalist styling, wearing just a cocktail ring.

Kathryn chose a monochrome ensemble, much like everyone else in the front row, and accessorized with silver shoes also by the renowned American designer.

She wore the Spring/Summer 2024 “Chrissy” sandals made in Italy from metallic python-embossed leather. Set on leg-lengthening 4.25-inch stiletto heels, these alluring yet sophisticated sandals have a strappy silhouette with slim crossover straps across the toes and a wraparound ankle strap.

She carried the $1,090 “Christie” mini envelop bag in the same metallic silver python-embossed leather with chain-link straps for a tough-luxe finish.

Her long, blonde hair was sleek and straight, with her signature bangs framing her face. Newton highlighted her enchanting blue eyes with heavy mascara, glimmering eyeshadow, and eyeliner. Her pale pink blush and peachy lips rounded out her beauty look.

Nicky Hilton Plays with Texture in Sequined Pants and Silk Knit Layers

Usually clad in sophisticated ensembles, Nicky Hilton showcased her quirky, whimsical sense of style when she graced the front row in a monochromatic purple look.

She wore the $790 Michael Kors featherweight Italian silk sweater with a relaxed fit, a turtleneck, and ribbed trims for added texture.

The bottom part of her outfit clashed with the basic look of her top. She slipped her slender legs into the $2,990 Spring 2024 stretch tulle flared pants adorned with thousands of light-reflecting sequins.

Keeping the rest of the look elegant, Nicky fastened a pair of diamond stud earrings to her ears and decorated her pointed finger with a statement ring while carrying a snake-embossed silver clutch.

Valerie Vanessa coiffed her blonde hair in an elegant updo, while Joel Vasquez accentuated her bright blue eyes with a subtle smoky makeup and winged eyeliner. Her glam was enhanced with a light pink lip gloss and peachy blush.
