Let’s take a closer look at their front-row looks.
Lori Harvey Embraces the Crooked Heel Trend in Pink Ferragamo “Igea” Mules and Bronze Silk Shirt Dress
Lori Harvey turned heads in a head-to-toe Ferragamo outfit as she arrived at the Triennale Milano. On her feet were the pink Ferragamo “Igea” mules with open toes and a rounded, curved vamp, adding a subtle modern edge to the look.
The open-back design felt effortless and relaxed, while the crooked gold-tone kitten heels added the architectural twist that Ferragamo is known for.
I loved how these heels gave the shoes a fresh, fashion-forward finish! You can get these mules in white leather at Net-a-Porter, retailing for $1,090.

Harvey paired the mules with a bronze semi-sheer silk shirt dress that felt equal parts sultry and effortless. Hailing from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the fluid dress featured a chest pocket and black buttons along the front, which she left open to create a sultry neckline that highlighted her décolletage. The loose fit mirrored the mules’ relaxed vibe, making the entire look feel effortless.
What really elevated the outfit for me was the wide ruched waistband with a dramatic tie detail. The sash cascaded to the floor with tassel ends, adding movement and front-row drama. The dress also had a front slit, which added just the right amount of allure.
Lori Harvey finished the look with a brick-colored Ferragamo “Hug” soft-shoulder bag tucked neatly under her arm. She wore her hair in tight, bouncy curls and kept her makeup neutral, which complemented the rich bronze tones of her outfit.

Chiara Ferragni Doubles Down on Sculptural Crooked Heel Mules in Black Patent and Yellow Lace
It was impossible not to notice Chiara Ferragni as she stepped out in a striking black and yellow look from Ferragamo’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection during Milan Fashion Week.
On her feet were black Ferragamo mules with sharp, pointed toes made from glossy patent leather that gave off a beautiful sheen.
Blending two major shoe trends, the design featured sleek V-shaped vamps that instantly gave the look a modern, sculptural feel and crooked heels that introduced an unexpected architectural twist. These heels instantly stood out, adding a bold yet refined finish to her entire outfit.

Chiara paired the mules with a lingerie-inspired slip dress from the same collection, designed by Maximilian Davis. The dress featured sheer yellow lace panels with black satin panels that offered coverage while still keeping the look sultry. Super thin shoulder straps framed the V-cut neckline, extending into a delicate ribbon detail at the front that added visual interest.
Chiara carried a yellow Ferragamo “Hug” bag that perfectly matched the lace accents on her dress, tying everything together. Her Cartier Panthère de Cartier white gold and diamond watch, coordinating ring with emeralds, and Tiffany and Co. Lock bangle in yellow and white gold with half pavé diamonds added luxe finishing touches.
With loose blonde waves, red lipstick, and oversized sunglasses, she delivered effortless Milan Fashion Week glamour.

Tracee Ellis Ross Contrasts the Crooked Heel Trend With Classic Croc-Embossed Mary Jane Mules
Tracee Ellis Ross brought her signature confidence to Milan Fashion Week, and I instantly loved how she balanced drama with polish. On her feet were glossy croc-embossed Mary Jane mules with gold trims at the sides.
They felt bold and a little tough thanks to the croc texture, but the delicate strap across the foot, sharp pointed toes, and high heels added that feminine sophistication.

She leaned into playful proportions with a two-toned black-and-brown knee-length skirt. It had a black waistband that flowed into a rich brown middle panel, finished with a black ruffled hem. I especially loved the gathered, bubble-like texture and the smocked detailing, which gave the skirt volume.
A simple black top kept the focus on the silhouette, while a voluminous black coat added instant drama. With her hair in a sleek high ponytail, she showed off striking blue-and-gold earrings and carried a structured black bag to complete the look.

The Rise of Crooked and Sculptural Heels on the Red Carpet and Front Row
Ferragamo’s off-kilter mules weren’t just a front-row talking point — they’re part of a broader shift toward architectural footwear that’s redefining modern glamour.
