Miranda Kerr Sharpens Rehearsal Style in Valentino Studded Pumps at David Jones A/W 2013

On February 6, 2013, Miranda Kerr arrived at David Jones Castlereagh Street in Sydney for rehearsals ahead of the retailer’s A/W 2013 Season Launch Fashion Show—an appearance that blended runway precision with off-duty polish.

In town to present Australian designers, including Ellery and Dion Lee, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel moved seamlessly between rehearsal and red-carpet moments.

Her look captured the kind of transitional styling that defined early-2010s fashion: sculptural silhouettes, understated glamour, and statement footwear worn with quiet confidence rather than spectacle.

During rehearsals, Kerr stepped out in a pair of Valentino Resort 2013 pumps, carrying the same heels straight onto the black carpet before the show began.

Styled with an Ellery Fall 2013 sleeveless bronze dress, the look underscored a now-timeless approach to event dressing—letting strong footwear anchor a streamlined silhouette.

Crafted from black calf leather, the pumps feature a sharply pointed toe and a low-dipped vamp—two elements that work together to lengthen the leg and sharpen the overall silhouette visually. Rather than relying on excess detailing, the design achieves impact through proportion and precision.

An adjustable ankle strap secures the foot with understated hardware, finished in discreet gold-tone metal with a matching buckle. The restraint is intentional: the hardware remains subtle in movement, revealing itself only up close and allowing the shoe’s shape to stay the focus.

Completing the design is a slim stiletto heel accented with gold-tone pyramid studs, a signature Valentino flourish that adds dimension without overpowering the shoe. The result is a pump that balances elegance with edge—refined enough for the runway, yet distinctive from every angle.
